“Extended techniques in an unusual setting.”
There is some fascinating music held within the pages of this book. Each duet is quite short and all take classical musicians to unfamiliar and curious territory. The extended techniques add to the textural and harmonic complexity of these engaging pieces which are by turns hypnotic and exciting, and there is also plenty of scope for rhythmic and tonal inflection to increase the feeling of improvisation. Running one into another would be a good performance option, as would playing a well chosen selection. If you are a lover of the more unusual this is for you!
From the Publisher
Iradj Sahbai - 14 Persian Folk Songs, arranged for Flute Duet by Mehrdad Gholami. From the arranger: "The first time I heard Iradj Sahbai’s folksongs for piano, performed by Peyman Yazdanian, I was immediately yearning to hear more of Sahbai’s clever use of dissonance and his masterful rhythmic displacement of the melodies. I started thinking what if we could really feel the crunch of these dissonances? I started arranging the collection in form of duets for two flutes and realized, in addition to the dissonances, I can add a third dimension, which is flute’s ability to hold a note and create a difference tone. Eventually, each movement became an etude on the extended techniques of the flute." - Mehrdad Gholami
