Friedrich Kuhlau

Grand Quartet in E Minor op. 103

This newly-engraved reconstruction of the Grand Quartet in E minor, Op. 103 by Friedrich Kuhlau for Four Flutes includes a full score and all four parts. It was created with a return to the original 1830 published material and comparisons with contemporary publications, most of which contain only handwritten facsimile or pre-1900s engraving. Numerous errors and inconclusively-placed notes have been clarified and dynamic and expressive markings consistently matched across parts and score. It is hoped that this freshly-engraved, clean edition allows for a new generation of flutists to more easily, and more satisfyingly, integrate this work into their repertoire. Grand Quartet in E minor, Op. 103 is in four movements: Andante maestoso - Allegro assai con molto fuoco; Scherzo; Adagio molto; and Rondo.
