Flute part and piano score

About
This album consists of a carefully graded selection of tuneful pieces for Flute and Piano. Well-crafted arrangements provide practice of the keys, note ranges and fingering patterns encountered in the early grades. A wide range of styles are covered, from Purcell to Puccini; Schubert to Stravinsky.
Each volume presents the pieces in chronological order and prints the year in which they were written.
