It seemed appropriate to simplify the massive four-note chording of the solo piano part, lest the flute line be swamped. What did not seem appropriate to me was transposition to an  easier  key, the rich color of D flat major being a quintessential part of the melody s appeal.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - John York\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46967974166822,"sku":"9790060115257","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790060115257_d.jpg?v=1697498437","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/rachmaninoff-s-rhapsody-on-a-theme-of-paganini","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
