Alto Flute Part, PDF $6.99
Niels Wilhelm Gade (1817–1890) became the preeminent figure in 19th century Danish musical life after an early success in Copenhagen and five years in Leipzig as Mendelssohn's assistant and successor. His Fantasiestücke (Fantasy Pieces, Opus 43) for clarinet (or violin) and piano were published in 1864, apparently his only work published that year although others were in progress. They are dedicated to the clarinetist "Herrn Kammermusiker Mozart Petersen." Our flute transcriptions take into account the nature of the flute and the discrepancies between Gade's original score and the clarinet and violin parts. We provide our alto flute part; the piano score is readily available in the public domain as a free pdf download of the score for clarinet and piano. Here is a link to one such source: Piano Score
