John W. Pratt has just completed his adaptation for flutes of Mozart’s highly regarded Quintet, K.516, originally for strings. The work’s textural possibilities apply also to a flute quintet, and its musical and emotional content are well worth viewing through the prism of a flute ensemble consisting of two concert flutes, two alto flutes, and bass flute. Visit the listing page for additional info.
Our newest edition is a transcription for A-clarinet and piano of Chant 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.
