Part for Flute or Violin and Piano Score, PDF $3.00
Raphael Dressler (1784-1835) was a well-known Austrian flutist and composer. He wrote more than 100 compositions for flute and published a popular flute method book, New and Complete Instructions for the Flute. His career included a position as first flutist in the Kärntnerthor Theater orchestra in Vienna and many years as a teacher and performer in London. Dressler's Portrait Charmant is the fifth of his Douze Thèmes Favoris pour Pianoforte et Flûte (ou Violon). The piece is a short work, simple yet indeed charming, and playable by flutists (or violinists) and pianists of many skill levels. A favorite of ours, Portrait Charmant can also be played effectively as a solo work for flute or violin alone.

...Haydn - Adagio from Sym. No.24 - Afl & Pf
Adagio from Symphony No.24, by F. J. Haydn
Arranged for Alto Flute and Piano by John W. Pratt
Alto Flute Part and Piano Score, PDF $6.00
We offer a flute and piano edition of the gorgeous second movement Adagio for solo flute accompanied by strings from Haydn's Symphony No.24. An arrangement for alto flute that is mellower than that for flute but also extremely beautiful is obtained by lowering the pitch a minor third. Haydn's flute part needs no other change, nor does the cadenza that was written by Mr. Pratt for our C-flute edition. The string parts have been adapted to piano sonority in a number of ways, as well as transposing them in this alto flute edition.
Alto Flute part, 2 pages; Alto Flute & Piano score, 4 pages; Total, 10 pages.
