Eldin Burton : Concerto for Flute (edited by Simon Reeves)

Subtitle : Romantic 20th-Century Concerto for Flute and Piano

Description :
The Concerto for Flute by Eldin Burton (1913–1979) is a lyrical and expressive 20th-century masterpiece that has become one of the most beloved concertos in the modern flute repertoire. Originally composed in 1948 and awarded first prize in the New York Flute Club Composition Competition, this work remains a concert favorite due to its blend of lush Romantic harmonies and brilliant virtuosity.

Edited by Simon Reeves and published by Carl Fischer Music, this edition features both flute and piano parts, faithfully reflecting Burton’s original intentions. The concerto’s three movements—marked Allegro moderato, Andante con moto, and Allegro con fuoco—offer a captivating mix of lyrical beauty, rhythmic vitality, and technical brilliance. Burton’s writing showcases the full expressive range of the flute, from tender lyricism to dazzling passagework.

The work is dedicated to flutist John Wummer and has been performed worldwide by generations of flutists as a cornerstone of mid-20th-century American repertoire.

Performance Tips :

Flutists should emphasize the warm, singing tone of the first movement while maintaining rhythmic precision. The Andante con moto requires expressive phrasing and smooth breath control to sustain long lyrical lines. The finale, Allegro con fuoco, demands technical agility and energy—use dynamic contrast to highlight the interplay between the flute and piano.
