“The perfect partner?”

Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]

This piece will look impressive in performance - it is printed on 5 separate sheets! Aside from that though, this is very interesting. Entitled "Safran", the piece is all about colour and timbre. It is also quite playable if you feel inclined to have a first go at contemporary music on the piccolo. It is mostly conventionally notated and although there are some multiphonics they are well sign-posted. Yes there are a lot of notes to learn in a 7 minute work, but it might prove to be the perfect antidote to yet another virtuoso Victorian gem - or perhaps it's perfect partner!
