Six Sonatas Op2 (ed.Tickton) (A,C) (2 scores)

6 Sonatas for Two Flutes, Op. 2
by Georg Philipp Telemann
Arranged for C Flute and Alto Flute by David Tickton
Published by Falls House Press
Includes 2 scores

These are considered by many to be among the best duets ever written for any instrument.  Telemann's superb use of counterpoint, the equality of the two parts, the abundance of ideas and the overall sheer beauty of the writing, have made these duets a longtime favorite of all flutists.  This edition has two sections.  The alto flute will play the 2nd part in the first section, then become the top part in the second.  The C flute will play the opposite of the alto in each section.
