About Aurea Capra Editions
This publishing company aim to produce beautiful, high-quality editions of fine music for the flute. Their journey started with the discovery of some long-forgotten 19th-century Italian flute music which they were determined to bring back to life. Other projects soon followed, with a focus on expanding the repertoire for two flutes and piano.
Revised and edited to the highest standard by Elisabeth Parry (the Italian editions in collaboration with Paul Edmund-Davies), and with piano accompaniments and arrangements by John Alley, these new publications offer musical opportunities for players of all standards. High-quality piano play-along at rehearsal and performance tempi plus duo rehearsal scores for the more advanced works are available to download for each publication.
