Gary Schocker

Flute Duets with Piano

Gary Schocker is the most published composer of flute music today, and this collection of four acclaimed works for two flutes and piano is sure to bring any flutist tremendous pleasure. The included pieces occupy a range of difficulty levels. Performed by Mr. Schocker on the primo flute, alongside virtuoso flutist Keith Underwood, and accompanied by stellar pianist Hugh Sung, each composition will give you extraordinary insight into this modern-day composer's acclaimed works, and even allows you the chance to perform them with Mr. Schocker himself! Beautiful complete reference recordings of each piece are followed by accompaniment versions minus the primo, secondo, and finally both flutes, giving you the opportunity to choose your part or to play with another flutist alongside Mr. Sung. Mr. Schocker has provided background and performance suggestions for each work. This album also includes slow-tempo accompaniments of selected compositions for your convenience as you learn them. Truly a marvelous edition!
