Exploring Sound (v.2)

Exploring Sound, Volume 2
Tone Development Through Orchestral Repertoire
by Mark Sparks
Edited by Amy Greenhalgh

Piano Concerto No. 2 in c minor by Sergei Rachmaninoff

A series devoted to the flutist’s development of artistic tone and phrasing through the playing of melodic passages from great orchestral works.

Author’s Note:
This book grew out of my love for the orchestral repertoire. I hope it inspires flutists to truly find their own voice, transcend their instrumentalism, pursue their imagination and curiosity, and to become more well-rounded musicians.
