Arrangement: Solo 1, Movement 1, from Trois Grands Solos by Friedrich Kuhlau

(L) This piece was not arranged, rather, "put together" for flutetunes.com using MuseScore. The reason for re-uploading it is because Flutetunes requested it for their database. I primarily used the Litolff edition, but there some mistakes, so I fixed them (for example, the trill that should be flat at the end of measure 22, or the F natural that should be sharp at the end of measure 88).

About: Friedrich Kuhlau was a Classical-Romantic composer, alive 1786-1832. Although he was born in Germany, he fled to Denmark in 1810 to escape being drafted into the Napoleonic Army. Many of his works are operatic, but he also composed for piano, flute, and other instruments. Kuhlau's style is very similar to Beethoven, and he actually knew him personally. The Trois Grands Solos were published in 1824, placing them on the border of the Classical and Romantic periods. It was composed for solo flute and optional piano accompaniment.
