Two Miniatures for 2 Flutes & Piano (optional Piccolos) Includes audio tracks options

The Petite Valse (around grade 4-5) delightfully dips and turns; almost like two fire flies playing out a flight of fantasy; with both flutes interweaving effortlessly. Although the waltz is mainly of major tonality, there is a brief excursion into the minor.

Echos Féeriques (Fairy Echoes, around grade 6+) is delightfully playful, and mainly built on a call and resonse theme. Largely grounded on a quirky 5/8 metre, again, the flute parts are well written to compliment and interact effectively. Part way through there is a joining of sorts and the call and response becomes one song. 

The composer wrote the Miniatures to be accessible to performers, yet also adding enough challenge to develop the players. A piano accompaniment part is included along with two seperate flute parts, and a 'duet view' (both flutes) layout part too. We have also included (for practice purposes) an easy Echos Féeriques piano accompaniment as a practice 'step up' part for practicing pianists. This is only intended as a practice aid, and not for use in performance as valuable harmony is lost.

The book also contains a CD which features full demonstration tracks (complete, and seperate miniatures), Flute 1 with piano, Flute 2 with piano, and piano only. This means you and a partner can play along to the piano only track, or play your flute part along with the piano and other flute part track.
