Summary of This Book
With The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition, Henrik Wiese leverages his dual perspective as an orchestral flutist and pedagogue to offer a collection of excerpts conceived as a true audition preparation guide. The book gathers 207 carefully edited passages, covering numerous styles and periods in music history, to meet the realities of selections in opera, symphony orchestra, or chamber ensemble.
The organization in alphabetical order facilitates immediate identification of passages to work on, whether they are regularly required standards or less frequent excerpts. The content spans a wide orchestral repertoire, featuring emblematic composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Ravel, Stravinsky, Mahler, Berlioz, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich, providing ideal material to develop endurance, rhythmic precision, intonation, and style.
The strength of this edition also lies in its accompanying tools: a critical report to contextualize and secure the work, as well as a chronological list allowing quick classification of excerpts by aesthetic and period, a valuable asset for adapting articulation, vibrato, phrasing, and color according to the musical language. Numerous remarks and tips complete the whole, drawn from Wiese's experience and exchanges with colleagues and students.
Finally, to meet international practice, the texts are offered in three languages (German, French, English), making The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition a natural counterpart to the already recognized edition The Flute Audition, with a specific focus on the piccolo and the alto flute.
