Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite piece to practice on your flute?

Mine is Sonata for Solo Flute by Phillip Glass. It's simple and easy, yet sophisticated. I like it.

I couldn't just pick one!

I would say, at this moment, that it's the "Pièce pour flute seule" by Jacques Ibert.

But it may change without any notice... :-)

If there is a window for another one, I would pick indubitable "Syrinx". A classic piece that seems so simple but hides so many possibilities...

true true...it could be hard to pick just one. How about your favorites. =)

I agree with Kara.
It's the one that I'm playing at the moment.
I prefer to have favorite tones. Right now it's the high E3...tomorrow it may be the high A3.

I really love practicing Celtic music and the piece "Poem" by Charles T. Griffes.

Right now, I love playing Image by Bozza. There are so many different ways to interpret it and abrupt changes in personality, so it doesn't get old.

CPE Bach solo sonata
JS Bach solo partita
Syrinx by Debussy
Bozza Image
HIndemith Achte Stucke

and many more..

One of my all time favorites is Faure's Fantasie.

i like playing the irish flute part of titanic theme, but i like tambourin by rameau and popps study in d minor

Doppler Fantaisie, Ibert Concerto, Poulenc Sonata, Griffes Poem...and SOOO many more. You cannot just pick one.

I couldn't pick one... maybe Sonata for flute and piano by Poulenc or Chaminade - Op. 107 concertino

And CPE Bach 1st and 2nd movement I don't know wich sonata

the prokofiev and faure sonatas!
and mouquet's la flute de pan

It's natural to evolve the subject, but I think in this case the topic was about Flute Solo pieces only (without any accompainment).
In this direction I would join Patrick and point also the Partita by J.S.Bach. It's very difficult to play fully and well this piece. Demands many aspects of the flute technic and lots, lots of expression.

sorry "accompaniment"

overture to candide flute solos and celtic jigs
