The piano line provides light accompaniment as the piccolo flies virtuosically about the texture. This daring six minute piece is sure to impress both performers and audiences alike.

These etudes are advanced, yet fit beautifully into the hands of the flutist. Flutists will find that mastery of these etudes are moderately challenging, yet rewarding. Donjon requires the flutist to have utmost control in all registers, embouchure flexibility, clean articulation, and breath support, as well as exceptional technical facility. The phrases are long, delightful and lyrical. This book is an excellent addition to any lover of Donjon works for the flute.
