Various :: Flute Orchestral Excerpts Volume 2

Publisher: Edition Svitzer 

Editor: Zupan, Marko (arr)

Edition Svitzer presents 'Flute Orchestral Excerpts Volume 2: Brahms to Hindemith' for four flutes.

Editor Marko Zupan writes, 'We are all familiar with the fact that playing with other musicians influences the way we interpret our own part. Since the orchestral flute 'solos' are mostly just the leading melody in the given piece of music, it is necessary to study and above all, experience them within the whole musical context. The 'solo' suddenly becomes music when, through practice, the rhythm, harmony, intonation, and colour are all revealed.

Naturally, the opportunity to practice with an actual orchestra is rare and that is where these arrangements for a flute quartet will come in handy. I find playing the parts of other instruments particularly interesting, since it develops the color palette and enhances the overall expressivity of the player. I hope this approach to music will inspire and enrich your future playing in the orchestra!
