Set of Parts
Another volume of Emmanuel Pahud’s highly acclaimed series The Flute Collection: Dvořák’s “String Quartet F major op. 96” in an arrangement for flute, violin, viola and cello.
Dvorák’s “String Quartet No. 12” was created during a three-year stay in the USA. In this work he skilfully developed original melodies and peculiarities, which for him embodied the music of the American natives and integrated them into his Central European influenced romantic musical language.
The spirit of this quartet fits perfectly into the natural sound of the flute, which, in this arrangement by Stephan Koncz, subtly and artistically replaces the voice of the first violin and, with respect to the original, exploits the tonal possibilities of this instrument.
