I am a music educator. The flute solos are wonderful. I love the fact that the book can be used for both solo and duet playing since it comes with a second separate solo book for flute. I am primarily a pianist and enjoy all of the accompaniment parts to the solo flute. This collection is outstanding. There are 55 duet pieces by 29 different composers. Included in this collection are some of most well-known compositions from Bach, Mozart, Bizet, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, etc. I recommend this book highly to all of my advanced students - those playing at least 3-4 years. These selections range from intermediate to a bit more challenging. There are a few unfamiliar melodies which are absolutely delightful. I would also like to add that this book is bound together with a durable spiral binding which makes it stay firm on the piano or music stand. The print is also quite legible and easy on the eyes. This book is a very good value.

Great selection of intermediate songs for the flute with beautiful piano part as well. Very convenient spiral-bound accompaniment book. Would definitely recommend for any flute player to add to their collection.

Very good chalenge, well graded
Ince selection
Would be even incer with accompagnying CD...

Just based on what the "look inside" feature displays, these solos appear to be incomplete versions. The Andersen Scherzino that's the first solo in the book is actually only the much simpler middle part of that piece. The more technical parts of the solo at the beginning and the end are not there! This is fine -- if you know ahead of time what you're getting. I'd have been VERY annoyed to have bought this book (hoping for a piano accompaniment to the entire Scherzino), only to discover that the solo is incomplete!
