Alto Flute Part, PDF $11.79
The following notes are excerpted, with permission, from the complete copyrighted foreword written by Peter H. Bloom for the Noteworthy Sheet Music edition of his transcription:
"The career of Marion Eugenie Bauer (1882-1955) as a composer, editor, writer, teacher, supportive colleague and mentor continues to assert a significant impact on the trajectory of American Music. It's mysterious that her legacy has been so rarely recalled and her music so infrequently performed in the six decades following her death. ... In 1906 she was the first of generations of American composers to study in Paris with the redoubtable Nadia Boulanger. ... We're fortunate that the composer crafted her own superb transcription of this sonata for clarinet and piano. In order to achieve the equivalent musical impact, her viola and clarinet versions differ in some places. The piano part, nevertheless, remains unchanged. Sometimes we've opted for the clarinet version, sometimes the viola version, and sometimes a conflation of the two. We have also made a few adaptive

Transcribed for Alto Flute and Piano by C.A.Vater
Piano Score and Alto Flute Part, PDF $10.50
Amy Marcy Cheney was born in Henniker, New Hampshire in 1867 and began composing music at the age of four. Initially home-schooled as a pianist, she continued her music studies in Boston and made her professional debut as a pianist at age 16. She later became a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. At 18, she married the prominent Boston physician Dr. Henry Harris Aubrey Beach and began using "Mrs. H. H. A. Beach" as her professional name. She continued to perform occasionally as a pianist, but for many years she focused her musical skills primarily on composing. After her husband's death in 1910, Mrs. Beach resumed her performing career, beginning with a three year tour of Europe, while also continuing to write music. Her works were received with great acclaim, and Amy Beach became one of America's leading composers and the first American woman composer to achieve widespread recognition in the United States and abroad. During her lifetime, she wrote more than 150 numbered works, spanning a variety of genres that included piano pieces, chamber music, orchestral works, sacred choral music,

Bloch - Petite Fantaisie Hongroise - Pf & Afl
Petite Fantaisie Hongroise No.1, Op.21, by J. Bloch
Transcribed for Alto Flute and Piano by C.A.Vater
Piano Score and Alto Flute Part, PDF $5.99
József Bloch (1862-1922) was a Hungarian violin virtuoso, composer, and professor at the National Academy of Music and the National Conservatory (www.jewishencyclopedia.com). His Petite Fantaisie Hongroise No.1, Opus 21, was written for piano and violin and published by Bárd, ca. 1901. We thought this piece would work beautifully on alto flute, so we created a transcription of the violin part. In the range written for the Petite Fantaisie Hongroise, the alto flute may evoke the dark, mournful tone of the modern tárogató, which is often referred to as the Hungarian national instrument. We provide both our transcribed alto flute part and a re-notated edition of the piano score.
Alto Flute part, 3 pages; Piano Score, 6 pages; Total, 12 pages.
