Bach had a predilection for creating solo works for instruments that were more usually supplied with a keyboard accompaniment. It is thus only logical that as well as the violin and cello he also thought of making use of the typical melodic character of the flute in this way. Through the skillful use of broken chords he even succeeds in creating the illusion of polyphony. It soon becomes clear that Bach’s lyrical cantilenas are convincing even without the support of accompanying chords on a keyboard instrument. A high point in flute literature!

The Saeviat Tellus Inter Rigores makes substantial virtuosic demands in the Soprano solo part. It is written in six movements very specifically for the Order of Carmelites.Handel's early musical life in Hamburg led him to an encounter with a member of the de Medici family who may have inspired him to make his seminal visits to Italy beginning in 1706.

Favorite 50 American Traditional Fiddle Tunes For Flatpicking Guitar Vol. 1: A-F-This collection of fiddle tunes originally appeared in Kaufman's Collection of American Fiddle Tunes for Flatpicking Guitar. Steve Kaufman says he can't emphasize enough the importance of developing a large repertoire of tunes. Fiddle tunes give us melodies that eventually allow us to begin to improvise. Sometimes without even knowing it. The more tunes you know the more melodies and intersecting melody lines you know. This allows you to eventually cut and paste portions of the melody line into another song. In the beginning you will probably unknowingly replace an ending run. These are the last two measures of the section of a tune. Many of them in the same key areinterchangeable unless they are specific to the melody of the song. After a while you will cut out measures in the middle of the song and then you will be able to take the snips of melodies and play them in another song in a different key thus beginning to improvise. All of this is possible because you built up your repertoire of tunes. Includes access to online audio.
