Summary of This Score
Designed as an exam repertoire resource, this collection for flute and piano showcases the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, a major reference for developing a solid and stylistically coherent interpretation. Working on Bach means refining intonation and stability of tone production, ensuring finger evenness, and above all learning to "sing" each phrase with controlled breathing. In this duo setting, the flute constructs a clear and expressive line while the piano provides an essential harmonic and rhythmic framework, ideal for progressing in mutual listening and ensemble precision.
Intended for an intermediate-advanced level, the collection is aimed at flutists wishing to consolidate their technique in the service of music: clean articulation, ornaments typical of the Baroque language, dynamic control without losing timbre purity, and a sense of dance in the more rhythmically driven movements. Preparing these pieces in an exam context also encourages a comprehensive approach: slow and methodical practice, coordination with the pianist, then pursuit of a fluid and convincing interpretation. The collaboration with William Bennett brings an inspiring artistic dimension, oriented towards a demanding and musical reading, particularly relevant for the stage, juries, and auditions.
