A logical and thoughtful addition to the previously published 24 Etudes, Op. 15 of Joachim Andersen edited by Carol Wincenc and Bryan Wagorn, the Op. 33 set of 24 Etudes explores and solidifies the rudimentary building blocks found in Andersen's earlier opus. In this present edition, Professor Carol Wincenc and Bryan Wagorn continued in the tradition of Marcel Moyse, a pivotal mentor of Professor Wincenc. As a young boy, Moyse played for Andersen himself. In lessons, Moyse would accompany the student in these etudesby creating a counterpoint to the original study, often vocally improvising melodies and or lyrics. This edition contains a flute 2 part with counterpoint inspired by Moyse.

Telemann's sonatas, published in 1728, are “methodical” according to the meaning of the word in his own day, since in addition to the plain melody line given to the soloist in the first movements they also provide an ornamented variant each time. Henle publishers commend this instructive and, at the same time, very enjoyable music to today's flautists and violinists. G. Henle's luxurious new publication offers a solo and basso-continuo part in which the two instrumental lines are aligned for orientation, plus another part that gives only an unrealized (but figured) bass line. The Henle edition also includes a full score with a stylistically appropriate continuo realization.
“These six sonatas in Volume 1 (of the twelve) are gems which provide flutists the opportunity to study the art of ornamentation. Telemann has ornamented the first movements of each sonata. This beautiful edition includes a basso continuo part to aid in understanding the harmony.” –Flute Talk

Modern Studies for the Flute is a set of sixteen studies by Paul Jeanjean (1874-1928). Composed in 1868, and initially composed for clarinet, these studies would fit advanced players. Each one of these Modern Studies is 3 or 4 pages long and extremely technically challenging. They all require strong attention, good endurance and they could be used to prepare the player for combinations of chords and rhythmic figures of contemporary music. Paul Jeanjean (1874-1928) is a French composer known for his clarinet compositions. He also composed 'Vade-Mecum of the Clarinet Player,' 'Arabesques' and 'Clair Matin.'
