Casella, A. - Barcarola et Scherzo

BARCAROLA ET SCHERZO has been a staple of the flute repertoire ever since Casella composed it for Gaubert while studying at the Paris Conservatory. Equally inspired by Italian vocal style and French impressionism, Casella takes advantage of the flute’s colors from the top range down to its rich low C. 

This publication is the first and only modern edition, correcting the original’s errors and clarifying ambiguous notation. It is easy to read and includes a substantial preface by Nicola Mazzanti addressing long-standing questions about tempo and articulation.
