The "DIE SOLOFLÖTE" collection, both the Edition Peters publication and these recordings, provides an overview of the solo flute repertoire from the Baroque to the modern era for professionals and amateurs.
Album & Artwork
This recording is the second of four CDs that correspond to the Edition Peters publication "DIE SOLOFLÖTE," a collection of original music for transverse flute.
Recording & Production
Many of the works on this album are premiere recordings, meaning they have never been recorded or published before.
Performer Biography
Mirjam Nastasi, the flutist on this album, is also the editor of the "DIE SOLOFLÖTE" series published by Edition Peters.
Instruments
Innovations in flute construction during the Classical period, such as adding keys and extending tonal range, were driven by the need for louder sound in larger public concert halls.
Instruments
The one-keyed transverse flute, or 'traverso', gradually replaced the recorder in the Baroque era and became popular among the bourgeoisie.
Historical Context
During the Classical period, the transverse flute's status was challenged as composers focused more on symphonic repertoire, requiring the flute to adapt to orchestral demands.
