Classical lit - The top 5

[eddierich]

Before I came to China, I was taking flute lessons for a few months. In that time, I worked on Taffenel-Gaubert, Moyse De La Sonorite, and a couple of etude books. I didn't get to work on any literature and I'd like to any flautists to comment on the top 5 pieces in the repertoire. By top 5, I mean the 5 pieces every flautist knows. Feel free to list more or less.

=========

I'm not a flautist and I don't try to play one on TV, but I've played a few transpositions on sax and/or clarinet. I seem to remember heavy Mozart works, such as Concerto in D. And "The Magic Flute".

However, your mileage may vary. I'm just wanting someone to send me an MP3 of Shickele's "Spring Serenade".

Mozart Concerti (2)
Bach Sonatas (6)
Poulenc Sonata
Ibert Concerto
Prokofiev Concerto
Debussy Syrinx
Chaminade Concertino
Faure Fantaisie
Enesco Cantabile et Presto

[bpimentel]

Some "easier" ones. Within the technical abilities of a motivated high school player.

Hindemith Sonata
Debussy Syrinx
Telemann Suite in A minor (originally for recorder - now frequently done on flute)
Handel Sonatas
selected movements from the Bach Sonatas?

After 2 years, it's up on YouTube. I think if you wait long enough, everything'll be posted there.

Not the best quality, but you can't have everything. Where would you put it?
