music_gal said Expressive, highly demanding, years of enjoyment. This book is a must read for any advancing flutist. These highly demanding pieces require attention to counting, tone, articulations, phrasing, finger fluidity, etc. They each have slower, highly demanding tonal sections and faster, highly demanding technical sections and these often overlap. (I recommend listening to a recording to get an idea, though recordings are often played faster than the learning flutist will play it.) I learned these expressive pieces during high school through college and now, 10+ years later still love playing pieces from this book. If you are a flutist lookin. "Awesome pieces for a serious flutist" according to Sparta. I'm an intermediate flutist who is very serious, and these pieces are definitely challenging! I can't wait to get Faure's Fantasie up to speed! There are a lot of lesser known French composers in this book that are more than worth getting familiar with. There's no Debussy or Ravel, but you'll make a lot of new 'friends' along the way.Nicely printed, and even though I bought used, I received the Flute and the Piano parts. Score!. Want a hard solo and ensemble piece? This is it! I recently purchased this book to learn some more challenging pieces and when I compared it to the S&E list of 2015 the majority of these pieces were on there as level 6's and I am so excited! I am doing Cantabile et Presto and I am in love with it! I recommend this book for people who want a real challenge that they can work on.
