Beach - Romance - trans. for Flute & Piano
Beach composed her Romance for Violin and Piano in 1893 for the occasion of the Women’s Musical Congress held the same year in Chicago during the World’s Columbian Exposition. The piece was dedicated to the celebrated violinist Maud Powell, who joined Beach for the premiere performance at that Congress. Highly romantic, melodic, charming, and passionate, the Romance is also technically complex yet graceful. With a few modifications of the violin line, this gorgeous piece works nicely for flute and piano.
Mozart - Quintet, K.515 - arr. for Flute Quintet
Performances of the Mozart C-major quintet K.515, originally for strings, are infrequent, far less than such great music deserves. Adaptation of the work to flute quintet is thus particularly apropos, as its textural possibilities apply also to a flute quintet. For additional information about John Pratt’s new arrangement of K.515 for two concert flutes, two alto flutes, and bass flute, please visit our listing page.

Glazunov - Chant du Ménestrel - trans. for A-Clarinet and Piano
Our newest edition is a transcription for A-clarinet and piano of Chant du MénestrelChant du Ménestrel. The piece was written originally for cello and piano (or orchestra) by Alexander Glazunov, a highly precocious student of Rimsky-Korsakov who became a major composer in the late Russian romantic tradition. This lovely work with its lyrical solo cello line is especially well-suited to the range and tonal qualities of the A-clarinet. The NSM edition includes both our transcribed part for clarinet in A and a re-notated score for clarinet and piano.
