This well-researched and diverse collection of flute excerpts is an excellent introduction to orchestral flute playing, and should be on all flute players' stands!
The contents list of this impressive book is comprehensive and there is a mix of repertoire that includes opera, ballet and oratorio as well as orchestral classics from four centuries. Henrik Wiese has thoroughly researched his material and made it all very easy to use which is a real asset. Some of the extracts are quite short and act as a taster, opening in the door for further exploration of scores that are of particular interest. If you are wanting to begin your exciting journey into the wonderful world of orchestral flute music this is a very good place to start!
