Big Picture, The

The Big Picture composed by Emma Rogers
Written for Alto flute solo
Includes SCORE ONLY

The Big Picture is a series of studies of varying difficulty for alto flute.  There are essentially four studies; however, there are two versions of each.  The second version of each study is a considerably more advanced rendition that builds on the ideas that were introduced in the first version.  The studies ask the performer to take the larger picture of the work into account by looking at the musical aspects of each study as well as the technical elements associated with the alto flute. The first four studies are designed for flutists who are familiar with the C flute, yet are picking up alto for the first time and wish to 'iron out the nuts and bolts' of handling the larger instrument.  The last four studies are for more advanced players and may also be used as concert studies.
