Talk:Flute repertory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is in pretty sad shape as of 6/13/06/ Eighteen pieces? Please, work on this. What about divisions into major artistic eras, what about discussion of difficulty grading, what about discussion of "popular" (e.g., Galway playing Flight of the Bumblebee) vs. "concert" (e.g., Hindemith Sonata) pieces, what about division into flute alone/flute & piano/concerto/chamber music categories? Actually I think I'll put that in. 160.39.27.109 22:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Adam

[edit] Time to Pare It Back

I realize the poster above asked for more orchestral excerpts, but it has now gone a bit overboard. "Beethoven Symphonies 1-9"? Could you be a bit more specific? Its well known that flutes have been part of orchestra scoring since the late 18th century, but you don't have to list every piece. Isn't there a shorter list that have more memorable flute solos or concertante aspects? Also, the concertos should be removed from the sonata list and put in their own list. No list of flute concertos?!? That's a list one expects to see on a list like this -- not that orchestral excerpt list that contains any piece where you might be able to pick out a flute (if you listen real close).DavidRF 20:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
