Summary of This Score
With this edition, Rien de Reede offers a true journey into the heart of the 18th century through a collection of 34 works for solo flute. The selection of pieces was made carefully, and the entire set was edited taking into account aspects related to music history and the evolution of the flute at that time. Beyond the pleasure of playing, this collection also reads as a testimony to the state of the instrument and the technical possibilities available, while revealing how composers conceived flute writing.
You will find both multi-movement works and superb standalone pieces, each asserting its own identity. The pages are often marked by arpeggiated motifs and incisive themes, wide intervallic leaps, and effects of implied polyphony that add depth to the melodic line. The harmonic discourse, demanded virtuosity, and balance between registers create a constantly renewed musical tension from one movement to the next, ideal for working on projection, breathing, and phrase shaping.
Not all pieces can be attributed with certainty to a composer, and some remain anonymous, which further enhances the "living archive" dimension of this collection. However, the great figures of the time, who profoundly influenced the art of the flute, are not absent: Quantz, Blavet, Taillart, Mahaut, and other emblematic names punctuate this selection. An essential resource to enrich your Baroque repertoire, refine your style, and explore demanding writing that is as educational as it is exciting.
