Summary of This Score
"Duets for Flute (or Recorder) and Keyboard (Harpsichord, Organ, or Piano)" by Nathalie Rotstein-Raguis and Zdenka Ostadalova brings together 9 pieces designed to be played together from the earliest years, combining a melodic voice and a keyboard. The solo part suits soprano and/or alto recorder, transverse flute, and can also be performed on violin or oboe, while the accompaniment is intended for harpsichord, piano, or organ (with a musical preference for the harpsichord).
Derived from the authors' pedagogical experience, this collection aims at a concrete goal: providing 1st cycle students with easy, musical, and sufficiently varied pieces to sustain motivation throughout learning. The choice of works allows a first stylistic approach to Baroque music, notably through the presence of characteristic ornaments and rhythmic figures, while remaining comfortable to implement in lessons or at home.
Beyond the duet, the score encourages ensemble playing: it is possible to add a cello, viola da gamba, or bassoon doubling the keyboard's left hand to reinforce the bass. The collection features a homogeneous and attractive program, including pieces attributed to Somis, Dandrieu, Sarri, and Hotteterre, as well as traditional airs such as "The Irish Washer-Woman," "Princess Royal," and "Freilach." A relevant resource for working on listening, pulse, sound/accompaniment balance, and style.
