Various :: Orchesterstudien [Orchestral Studies]

The idea to prepare this volume of orchestral excerpts with piano accompaniment stems from many years of experience with orchestras and with music conservatories. After listening to numerous candidates audition with orchestral excerpts, it became clear that many of them played with a mastery of technique and timbre but did not understand or express the musical sense of the passages.

The present collection of orchestral excerpts frequently encountered at flute audition is published with piano accompaniment in order to offer students and teachers the chance to explore the musical sense of the passages, a possibility that is not available when, as is customary ,the flute part is studied alone. The editor has endeavored to prepare piano accompaniments which express the essential musical characteristics of the respective orchestral passages.
