Jeanne Baxtresser : Orchestral Excerpts For Flute

Introduction :

'Orchestral Excerpts for Flute' is a definitive and essential resource for any flutist preparing for professional auditions or collegiate studies. Selected and annotated by Jeanne Baxtresser, former Principal Flute of the New York Philharmonic, this revised edition offers unparalleled insights into the most critical passages of the symphonic repertoire. Published by Theodore Presser Company, this volume stands out by including piano accompaniments (piano reductions by Martha Rearick), allowing students to practice these excerpts within their full harmonic context. This book is not merely a collection of scores but a masterclass in print, providing technical guidance and stylistic advice from one of the world's most distinguished orchestral flutists.

Product Features :

Comprehensive Repertoire: Contains over 50 of the most-requested audition pieces, covering a vast historical range from Bach to Prokofiev and Hindemith.
Pedagogical Masterpiece: Already a staple in flute pedagogy, this edition is packed with helpful tips, performance notes, and suggested tempi for all pieces.
Technical Enrichment: Includes updated errata, new and alternate fingerings, and professional insights tailored for Medium-Advanced to Advanced players.
Audition Readiness: Features two updated, professional principal flute audition lists, making it an indispensable tool for career-minded flutists.
Full Musical Context: Includes piano reductions by Martha Rearick, enabling a more complete musical understanding of how the flute part interacts with the orchestra.

Performance Tips :

Utilize the Piano Reduction: Practice with the provided piano accompaniments to master intonation and rhythmic placement within the full harmonic structure of the work.
Internalize Performance Notes: Pay close attention to Baxtresser's specific commentary on phrasing and tone color; these notes reflect decades of experience at the highest professional level.
Experiment with Fingerings: Use the suggested alternate fingerings to overcome technical hurdles in challenging passages like Mendelssohn’s 'Scherzo' or Prokofiev’s 'Peter and the Wolf'.
Focus on Character: Each excerpt represents a unique musical world. Use the performance notes to shift your stylistic approach between the precision of Bach and the lush impressionism of Debussy.
