Summary of This Score
Classic Hits for 2 Flutes gathers a generous selection of famous themes from the Classical and Romantic periods, specially arranged for two flutes. The goal is clear: to offer flutists a repertoire that is immediately playable, musical, and rewarding, both for the joy of playing together and for progressing as a duo.
The collection features major composers from the grand repertoire, including works by Mozart, Haydn, Gluck, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and Chopin. The Romantic selection also highlights composers closely linked to the flute and 19th-century virtuosity, such as Ernesto Köhler, Louis Drouet, Wilhelm Popp, and Anton Bernhard Fürstenau.
To promote smooth reading and a natural flute sound, the editors note that, when necessary, certain pieces have been adjusted to keys and ranges better suited to the instrument. This approach, combined with a moderate difficulty, makes it a valuable resource for working on intonation, voice balance, common articulation, and phrasing, all within a motivating framework.
Among the highlights in the table of contents are, for example, the "Barcarole" by Carl Maria von Weber, "Das klinget so herrlich" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, "Träumerei" by Robert Schumann, a "Rondo Theme" (Pathétique) by Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as a "Mazurka" by Frédéric Chopin, and many other iconic pieces.
Edited by Elisabeth Weinzierl and Edmund Wächter, known for their duo work within the "Münchner Flötenduo," this anthology is part of a dynamic effort to promote the flute duo (concerts, recordings, lessons, and publications), with content designed to encourage frequent playing, improved playing, and playing together.
