Magic Flute Fantasy

Description

Flute, Piccolo, Clarinet in Bb, Piano — See the program notes (with musical excerpt included) on the first page (title page) of the full score. In the spirit of the great 19th-century virtuoso fantasies on famous arias, Michael Webster has created a concert trio on the many great arias from Mozart's The Magic Flute, combining the most exciting and satisfying features of opera medleys and characteristic variations. Webster makes the most of the flute (doubling piccolo) and clarinet as versatile performers equally suited to deliver Mozart's beautiful vocal writing, and to ornament and embroider the themes in elegant Mozartean style. For advanced performers.
