Liszt once remarked, "One should sing more at the piano.. If we were to hear one evening, on a deserted beach, the singing of a Chopin Nocturne, what an emotion!" Drawing on piano music of Frédéric Chopin, world-renowned flutist Robert Stallman has created a unique compilation of Waltzes and Nocturnes arranged for flute and piano, providing twenty selections that invite flute players to enter into Chopin's poetic and expressive world-- an instrumental outgrowth of the bel canto school of singing. This marvelously prepared edition offers pieces for enjoyment, inspiration, study and performance-- a welcome addition to the scarce nineteenth-century repertoire available for the flutist.
