“Classy arrangements for alto flute.”
Good arrangements of French vignettes are ideally suited to the alto flute and that's exactly what's on offer in this lovely book. The melodic lines are pitched so that the alto can use its cantabile voice to deliver the essence of each piece, and in such an expressive song as Duparc's Extase, for example, there is the perfect marriage of colour and meaning. If you love this instrument and this music then this is a great book for you!
