Dear all,

Can you please tell me all the concertos you know of (i know wuite a loose topic) but i know quite a lot of them and i want to play an unfamiliar one for this upcoming competition!

Thanks
Regards

depends on the period you are playing from..

the Devienne concerti are very nice and fun to play, as are many of the italian concerti by Pergolesi and Tartini, etc..also the concerti from the 18th cen. french courts by Naudot, Loeillet or ones by Quantz and CPE Bach..

ok thanks all!

i was just wondering as i have played the mainstream ones i.e. nielsen, ibert etc and just want a special one that few have heard!

thanks

the mercandante seems nice..i just got the music and sight read through it and it is very playable

mercadante....sorry musician wanting to turn everything into music terms (andante) lolol

oops the one in e minor is what i am talking about..

Another suggestion..it is not a "concerto" but I have seen it classified and called one before.

Fantasia para un gentlehombre by Rodrigo..this is an amazing piece. So fun to play

yesw thankyou! i love the rodrigo concierto pastorale and am sure i will like the gentilhombre, will check it out thanks!!

It is a lovely piece..it is 4 movements based on 6 spanish dances (first 2 movments are 2 dances each). It is originally for guitar and orch but james galway transcribed it for flute because he really liked the piece..there is a galway recording of it (also joan g'froerer v on on naxos)

it is easier than the concerto partorale for sure, but I find it more musically satisfying
