About this arrangement

Woodwinds - Flute Flute Quartet and Piano SKU: AY.FQP001 Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Arranged by Judy Nishimura. Woodwinds - Flute. Alry Publications #FQP001. Published by Alry Publications (AY.FQP001). ISBN 9790302110293.Antonin Dvorak wrote two series of Slavonic Dances (op. 46 and 72) for piano duet. These works have always been extremely popular in their original form and in the orchestral transcriptions, done by Dvorak himself shortly after their publication as piano pieces. Originally conceived as a flute choir arrangement, the lower piano part (typically playing oom-pah accompaniment figures), did not lend itself to creating interesting parts for the alto and bass flutes. Thus, this edition solves that problem by incorporating a piano and allowing the flutes to do what they were meant to do - dazzle with their virtuosity, precision articulations and long beautiful phrases. Instrumentation: 4 C Flutes, Piano.
