Tchaikovsky - Sleeping Beauty Act 1-6 Waltz Arranged for Flute and Piano Duet - Free Score
Here my arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Act 1 - 6. Waltz for Flute and Piano duet. I arrange it for beginner and intermediate flute student. The piece had been cut into short version, I omitted some repetition in there. The piano also re-arranged so it's a little bit easier. The challenge for the flute player is the down roll notes in the "ref-1". Piano is quite challenging in the intro section, kind of a solo piano to open a piece.

Beethoven, Schubert & Schumann Works for Flute & Piano - Ransom Wilson (2016)
Composers: Beethoven, Schubert & Schumann
Artist: Peter Frankl (Piano), Ransom Wilson (flute)
Genre: Romantic, Chamber
Label: Naxos America
BUY IT HERE
Beethoven, Schubert & Schumann, all are the giants of music but they barely known for their flute works. Famous flutist / conductor Ransom Wilson (student of Pierre Rampal) compiled some of their works in this CD. Beethoven got his better known piece, Serenade in D major Op.41 covered. While Schumann and Schubert part is rather lesser known. A good CD for sample of Romantic era music done in flute. The CD notes:
RANSOM WILSON has long been recognized internationally as one of the greatest flutists of his generation. After graduation from the Juilliard School in 1973, he spent a year in Paris as a private student of Jean-Pierre Rampal. In 1976 he gave his official debut concert in New York City, with Rampal as his guest artist. An exclusive recording contract with Angel/EMI followed soon thereafter, along with extensive performances all over the world. Ransom Wilson is an Artist of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Professor of Flute at Yale University, Conductor at SUNY Purchase, Assistant Conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, Artistic Director of LE TRAIN BLEU ensemble, and Music Director of the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, and Artistic Director of the NY State Summer School of the Arts, School of Orchestral Studies. Franz Schuberts only significant work for flute is an offshoot of his famous song-cycle Die schöne Müllerin, completed in November 1823. In January 1824 he took the melody of the 18th song, Trockne Blumen (Faded Flowers) and made it the basis of his Introduction and Variations in E minor on Trockne Blumen for flute and piano. It may have been composed for Schuberts friend Ferdinand Bogner, a professor of flute at the Vienna Conservatory, but it remained unpublished and perhaps unperformed until 1850, when the work was issued posthumously as Schuberts op. 160. Since then it has formed an essential part of the flute repertoire. Beethovens only mature and substantial contribution to the instruments repertoire is the Serenade, op.25 for flute, violin and viola, written in 1801. In 1803, the Bohemian composer Franz X. Kleinheinz (1772-1832), who had recently arrived in Vienna to study with Beethovens old teacher Albrechtsberger, arranged this work for flute (or violin) and piano. The arrangement was obviously carried out with Beethovens full approval, as he is known to have checked it over and sanctioned it before it was printed in December, 1803. Robert Schumann wrote no original pieces for flute. However, it is but a small leap for flautists to include the 3 Romanzen op.94 in their repertoire. They were written in 1849, for oboe, but with the composers indication that they were suitable for either clarinet or violin. The Romanzen are simply Songs without Words, and as such open to all instrumental colours equally.

REICHA Wind Quintets - Thalia Ensemble (2015)
Composer: Antoine Reicha (1770 – 1836) Wikipedia
Artists : Thalia Ensemble
Genre : Chamber, Romantics
Label: Linn Records
Release: November 2015
This CD is a must have for flute and wind instruments fans. Indeed, all Reicha's recordings are important references for all of us. Antoine Reicha is well known for his 25 wind quintets, although his popularity is highly underrated up to this day. Nevertheless, a revival of his works, from string quartets series to his wind works are positively increasing. The Thalia Ensemble recorded two of his wind quintet selections. First is Wind Quintet in G Major Op.88 No.3 and in B-Flat major Op.100 No.6. Those two quintet are high representative for Reicha's wind quintet works, and must be highly regarded in his day as record said it was frequently performed. As with all Reicha's wind quintets, it's already recorded by Albert-Schweitzer-Quintett few years ago. Of course, as in woodwind realm, the timbre and tonal of instruments alone is too unique and diverse. The fact that the Thalia Ensemble recorded with their outstanding period instrument made this CD an all new listening experience. Not to mentioned the interpretation yet!
The CD comes with important notes by Geoffrey Burgess, some excerpts :
Each of Reicha’s 24 quintets comprises four movements, in the standard Classical formula developed by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. The opening sonata-form movement is preceded by a slow introduction, and usually closes with a substantial coda. The slow movement and minuet (or scherzo) and trio are occasionally reversed in order, and the last movement returns to the vigorous energy of the first, often in a sonata-rondo form. Reicha’s melodic style is Mozartian in flavour, but spiced with subtle chromatic tinges and quirky syncopations.
.........
The horn underwent the greatest changes. The only instrument of the group not strictly a woodwind, it was a regular part of the courtly Harmoniemusik ensembles to which the quintet owed its origins. The natural or hand horn, with its mixture of open and stopped notes, blended well with the woodwind, and was equally adept at melodic and harmonic functions. Because its tone production was based on the harmonic series, it required the most careful treatment. In the first movement of the Quintet in G major, Op. 88 No. 3, for instance, its role is almost exclusively harmonic and supportive until the recapitulation, when Reicha ventures to place it on a more equal footing in the interplay of melodic material among the instruments. - sources
The prize-winning Thalia Ensemble is an inspiring young group excelling in performance on 'period' instruments. This debut recording presents two of Antoine Reicha's opulent wind quintets, recognized across Europe as the pinnacle of their genre and an overnight sensation when they were first performed in Paris in the early nineteenth century.
The band also create promotional video to let us view their recording process and experience:

Three flute concertos from three different nation composers are collected in this CD. Bernhard Romber is of German region, which is well known for his string quartets and also noted cellist. Saverio Mercadante is the Italian opera buffa guy. While Professor Francois Devienne is well known flute master and his flute concerto no.7 is what Soyoung Lee going to performed. A curious collection of early Romantic era flute concerto in this package.

The CD description:
The late 18th and early 19th century repertory of François Devienne, Saverio Mercadante, and Bernhard Romberg provide a fascinating counterpoint of their respective French, Neopolitan and German geographic and stylistic flowering of styles and influences and are presented here with lively grace and intelligence by the fine flute work of Soyoung Lee anchoring these concertos that are among the best known of these composers’ repertoire. With the nimble playing of the Ensemble of Tokyo conducted by Chang-Kook Kim.
