• Glazunov - Elegy - Flute or Alto Flute

  Elegy, Op.44, by Alexander Glazunov

  Transcribed for Flute or Alto Flute (and Piano) by John W. Pratt

  Parts for Flute and Alto Flute, PDF $5.99

  Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (1865-1936) was a major composer in the late Russian romantic tradition.  His Elegy, Op.44, was written for viola and piano in 1893.  The viola melody is readily adaptable for other instruments, since it is without double stops, and has been transcribed here by John W. Pratt for either flute or alto flute.  The piece is about 6 minutes long, elegiac but not lugubrious.  It consists of a lovely melody in 9/8 time, enhanced by a simple but warm piano accompaniment.  The NSM edition includes a flute part and an alternative alto flute part, but does not include one for piano, since a suitable score is freely available at IMSLP.org.

  Flute part, 2 pages; Alto Flute part, 2 pages; Total, 8 pages.

• Scriabin - Romance - Transcribed for Clarinet, Flute, or Alto Flute

  Romance, by Alexander Scriabin

  Transcribed for Clarinet or Flute or Alto Flute (and Piano) by J. W. Pratt

  Parts, PDF $0.00

  Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915), the mystic Russian composer with music to match, wrote nine mind-bending orchestral works and myriad mostly miniature piano pieces. He began as a "Russian Chopin" and ended planning a week-long "Mysterium" to be performed in the Himalayas using "an orchestra, a large mixed choir, an instrument with visual effects, dancers, a procession, incense, and... mists and lights" (Wikipedia).

  The Romance of 1890, his only chamber work except one variation for string quartet, is nearer the Chopin end of that spectrum, though the piano part adds harmonic and rhythmic complexities not evident from the solo part alone.

• Tchaikovsky - Arab Dance - Alto Flute & Harp/Piano

  Arab Dance, by P. Tchaikovsky

  Arranged for Flute and Harp or Piano by Mary Jane Rupert

  Transcribed for Alto Flute by C.A.Vater

  Alto Flute Part and Harp or Piano Score, PDF $7.99

  Mary Jane Rupert's arrangement of The Nutcracker for flute and harp or piano includes all of the pieces from the original Suite, Op. 71a, except the Overture.   Dr. Rupert stayed as close as possible to the original orchestration, in terms of key, harmony, register, and color.  Originally published in 1988, the arrangement was re-edited by Dr. Rupert in 2013 for publication as separate flute/piano and flute/harp editions by Noteworthy Sheet Music.  After creating the new flute editions, Noteworthy Sheet Music's editors realized that one of the pieces of the suite in particular, Arab Dance, would work beautifully on alto flute.   We created an alto flute transcription of the flute part, both for ourselves and for our alto flutist friends.
