Zeitgenossische Musik fur Flote solo [Contemporary Music for Solo Flute]

Description

This gigantic collection of flute solos, assembled from the very best of music from the German Democratic Republic and from the core flute repertoire, presents the essential aspects of today’s musical languages. The enormous variety of musical techniques covered – from true neo-Romanticism to the harshest contemporary techniques and electroacoustic compositions – marks this as one of the few truly comprehensive selections of the modern genre. Covering composers from the popular to obscure – Denisov and Varese to Schenker and Kulsak – Zeitgenossiche Musik brings several seminal pieces together.

Within this collection lie works for the c flute, for piccolo, for alto flute, and for flute with electronic accompaniment. Each piece is in its own separate manuscript booklet for ease of playing. Markedly, though several pieces are no longer available except through special inquiries, the total cost of this collection if bought piece-by-piece would be upwards of $500.

A vinyl record containing the electronic tracks (for the highest possible fidelity) for the two electroacoustic pieces is also available if requested.

For advanced players.
