Flute 1 Part, Flute 2 Part, Flute 3 Part, and Score: PDF $13.50
Charles Nicholas Weiss was the son and pupil of the well-known flutist and composer Carl Weiss. After a stint in accounting, Charles began his music career as a flutist, teacher and composer in Italy and later settled in London. He published an acclaimed flute method book (Methodical Instruction-book, Op. 50) and composed a great deal of music, most now forgotten and unavailable. Weiss' favorite trio, A Grand Trio for Three Flutes, Concertante, Op. 102, was dedicated to his brother, the flute professor and music publisher Willoughby G. Weiss. We have re-notated the parts and created a score using a modern music notation software program. This is an easy-to-intermediate level piece.

Haydn - Adagio, Quartet Op.20, No.5 - Fl & Pf
Adagio from Quartet in F Major, Op.20, No.5, by F. J. HaydnArranged for Flute and Piano by John W. Pratt
Flute Part and Piano Score, PDF $10.00
The third movement of Haydn's string quartet Opus 20, No. 5 is an Adagio with a simple melody that is treated to delightful filigreed elaboration and obbligato decoration by the violin. Although more complex quartet movements are typically unsuited to transcription, in this beautiful Adagio the soloistic nature of the violin part and the simplicity of the lower string parts lend themselves very well to an arrangement for flute and piano, as in the fine transcription we offer here.

Haydn - Adagio, Quartet Op.17, No.1 - Afl & Pf
Adagio from Quartet in E Major, Op.17, No.1, by F. J. HaydnTranscribed for Alto Flute and Piano by John W. Pratt
Alto Flute Part and Piano Score, PDF $8.00
Haydn's early quartets, especially the three sets of six written between 1768 and 1771 (Opus 9, Opus 17, and Opus 20), advanced the development of the classical string quartet enormously in all respects. The third movement of Opus 17, No. 1 is an Adagio with a beautiful violin melody that is harmonized simply by the other three strings. Whereas Haydn's more complex movements generally are unsuitable for transcription, the relative simplicity of this gorgeous Adagio makes it an exception. We present here a transcription for alto flute and piano. The melody is highly effective on the alto flute, and the other string parts are readily adaptable to the piano.

Gabrielsky - Adagio et Variations - Fl & Pf
Adagio et Variations pour la Flûte sur un Thême de Caraffa, Op. 71, by W. GabrielskyGassett Collection - New Edition by Noteworthy Sheet Music
Flute Part and Piano Score, PDF $18.75
Johann Wilhelm Gabrielski (or Gabrielsky), 1795-1846, was an acclaimed German flutist and composer from Berlin. In 1814 Gabrielski secured a position as flutist at the theatre in Stettin and within two years was appointed to the Royal Court. Gabrielski's compositions, of which there are more than 100, were highly esteemed and popular in his day. Although these works have much to offer modern day flutists as well, Gabrielski's music is neither widely known nor readily available today. The Adagio et Variations pour la Flûte, Op. 71, exploits melodic material by Michele Enrico Carafa (Caraffa) di Colobrano (1787-1872), a Naples born musician who had a remarkably successful career in Paris as a composer for the Opéra-Comique and as a professor of composition and counterpoint at The Conservatoire. The work showcases the flutist's virtuosity, atop a relatively uncomplicated piano accompaniment.

Dressler - Portrait Charmant - Flute (or Vn) & Piano
Portrait Charmant, by Raphael DresslerGassett Collection - Facsimile Edition by C.A.Vater/Noteworthy Sheet Music
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.

Eugène Walckiers studied composition at the Paris Conservatoire with Anton Reicha and became a masterful, inventive, and prolific composer and arranger of 19th century chamber music. Both his original compositions and his arrangements are deeply significant in their expression of a particular, highly developed aesthetic approach. Walckiers' 2me Livre de Duos pour 2 Flutes, Opus 11, was dedicated to his friend Théodore Baltazaro and comprises three duets of three movements each. NSM has re-notated all of the Opus 11 duets using a modern music composition software program.
A review written by Katherine Borst Jones was published in the September, 2013 issue Flute Talk magazine. "The publication contains extensive notes and material on the composer. The second duet is great material for sightreading as well as studying the 19th century style of composition. Printed as flute 1 and flute 2, separately, the copy is clear and easy to read."

Eugène Walckiers (1793-1866) studied composition at the Paris Conservatoire with Anton Reicha and became a masterful, inventive, and prolific composer and arranger of 19th century chamber music. Walckiers was also a flutist, having been a protégé of the legendary Tulou. Rockstro, in his Treatise on the Flute (London, 1889), paid great tribute to Walckiers when he wrote: "The duets, trios and quartets of Walckiers belong to the highest school of French art, and prove their composer to have been a man of real genius. They are exceedingly imaginative, occasionally rather eccentric, yet always elegant, charming, and scholarly."
Rosamund Plummer wrote an independent review of Noteworthy Sheet Music's edition of Walckiers' Duetto 1 which was reproduced on the NSM website after first being published by Flute Focus.
Jason Ng & Campbell Wang won a Gold Award in the Secondary Duet Class of the 2012 New Zealand Woodwind Competition for their performance of Eugène Walckiers' 5th Book of Duets—Duetto I, published by Noteworthy Sheet Music.

Les Regrets, Op.104, by T. BerbiguierGassett Collection - Facsimile Edition by C.A.Vater/NSM, with a Foreword by Peter H. Bloom
Flute Part and Piano Score, PDF $18.00
Berbiguier dedicated Les Regrets (Mélodie Concertante, Opus 104) to his close friend, the composer-'cellist Pierre-Louis Hus-Desforges. Les Regrets appears to be a missive of consolation from one musical colleague to another, both disillusioned and scarred veterans of decades of nationalist French intrigue. Though the initial theme is a plaintive rendering of a dour dead-march, its development is mournfully elegant. The subsequent developments serve to uplift performer and listener with a musical meditation that, though turbulent, avoids bathos. Dashes of a bit of scherzo here and there move the music, ultimately, to an heroic major-key finale.

Coolun, A favorite Irish Air with Four Variations, by C. NicholsonGassett Collection - Facsimile Edition by C.A.Vater/Noteworthy Sheet Music
Piano Score and Flute Part, PDF $9.99
Charles Nicholson (1795-1837) was a masterful, hugely popular, and highly influential English flutist and teacher, famous for his individual style and powerful tone. Among Nicholson's compositions are 13 fantasies and 15 airs with variations, including Coolun. A favorite Irish Air with Four Variations arranged for the Flute with an ad libitum Accompaniment for the Piano Forte, or Harp. The "Coulin" or "Coolan" was described in an 1833 letter to the editor of the Dublin Penny Journal (www.libraryireland.com) as "an air, that once heard even in the earliest infancy, can never be forgotten—a melody which breathes the most touching tenderness and exquisite sensibility, and the memory of which, enables the Irish to hear Scotland's 'O, Nanny wilt thou gang with me,'—or her 'Banks and Braes,' without envious repinings."
Nicholson's consummate rendition of Coolun is highly effective when played either as a solo for flute alone or by flute with accompaniment of piano, lever harp, or pedal harp. The Gassett Collection print from which our facsimile was created consists of a score for piano forte and flute, without a separate flute part. The flute part included in our edition was created from the score using a modern music notation software program.
Noteworthy Sheet Music's publication of Coolun was favorably reviewed by Katherine Borst Jones in the January, 2014 issue of Flute Talk magazine. You can read the review, reproduced on our website for your convenience, or at Flute Talk (subscribers).

Vercoe - To Music - Flute Alone
To Music, by Elizabeth VercoeContemporary Composition for Solo Flute, PDF $6.99
Dr. Elizabeth Vercoe has been a composer at the St. Petersburg Music Festival in Russia, the Cité International des Arts in Paris, and the MacDowell Colony, and held the Acuff Chair of Excellence at Austin Peay State University in 2003. She has won many awards, commissions, and publications along with grants from the Artists Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Her music is recorded on the Centaur, Capstone, Owl, Leonarda, and Parma labels and is published in print edition by Arsis Press.
To Music (2003) is a short, atmospheric solo for flute in four contrasting sections. At times the music is virtuosic, occasionally calling for multiphonics and other special effects. The titles of the four sections are taken from the haunting poetry of the Russian writer, Anna Akhmatova, a poet deeply interested in music.

La Pasta! Op.36, by Reissiger & SedlatzekConcertantes Variations sur la Cavatina de Rossini, No.3
Gassett Collection - Facsimile Edition by C.A.Vater/Noteworthy Sheet Music, with a Foreword by Peter H. Bloom
Flute and Piano Parts, PDF $13.50
Reissiger and Sedlatzek's work La Pasta is a particularly effective concert piece with which the accomplished flutist can enthrall a diverse audience by evoking the dramatic majesty of grand opera while applying the scintillating techniques of the 19th century virtuoso. La Pasta is flutist Johann Sedlatzek's homage, celebration, and souvenir of the redoubtable mezzo-soprano Giuditta Pasta (1798± - 1866±), arranged by the superb composer/conductor Carl Gottlieb Reissiger. Pasta (nee Negri) was a cynosure of Italian opera who created brilliant dramatic roles for Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini. Legendary Maria Callas (1923-77) is often compared to Pasta by opera aficionados, but few are likely to have heard both in their prime. — P. H. Bloom, 5/23/2011

Berbiguier's Nouvelle Fantaisie (Opus 80), like his Grande Fantaisie (Opus 77), was composed on melodies from Carl Maria von Weber's genre-defining opera Der Freischütz. Both pieces were published around 1825. Enthusiasm for Der Freischütz continued to build in subsequent decades, as evinced by the nearly numberless fantaisies, paraphrases, souvenirs, and variations that have been published. Melodies from Freischutz pervade the classic repertoire of instruments from aeolian pianola to zither, including examples for concertina, mandolin, saxophone, and ocarina quartet.
