Description

A collection of some of the most beautiful songs by German romantic composers arranged for alto flute and piano. Includes much-loved favourites by the great lieder composers Schubert and Schumann, as well as less well-known gems by Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf, Alban Berg, Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn. Ideal short concert pieces. These emotionally-charged pieces are perfectly suited to the dark and mellow sound of the alto flute and give scope to players of all standards to explore depths of expression and interpretation.
