First Edition

Rosetti wrote this extremely charming work before 1782 for the 1st flutist of the Wallerstein court orchestra, Alois Ernst. It breathes the spirit of playful rococo bliss. Medium difficulty.

One of Barsanti's major works, it reveals a commanding mastery of counterpoint and unusual bold harmonic constructions with chromatic passages.

Hoffmeister's flute duets always offer a rich melodic palette and make perfect use of the instrumental 'vocabulary'.

Leclair's concerto is excellently suited for performance with piano accompaniment, quasi as a chamber sonata. Incidentally, the work can be presented just as advantageously on the oboe.

The 1st volume with Duos 1-3 of this epochal Quantzian instruction in the interplay of two voices contains an English translation as well as the facsimile of the original preface.

The edition contains in facsimile the complete preface to these popular duos aimed at a 'first taste of the effects of harmony' of two voices.
