Many of these compositions are acknowledged as pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral repertoire. Despite his short life, his rapid pace of composition resulted in more than 800 works of virtually every genre of his time. This piece is a very common addition to orchestral piccolo auditions.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. These are some of the most widely performed recital works and are great pieces to use in an orchestral audition as “contrasting works.” If you would like to make a name for yourself as a piccolo player, I would also memorize the Vivaldi Piccolo Concerto in C Major. Other essential pieces include the Bach Flute Sonatas in C Major and E minor, the Chaminade Concertino, the Hue Fantasie, and both the Ibert and Neilson Concerti. It is a great idea to memorize at least the opening movements of both works as you will be asked to play these movements numerous times over the course of your career. I often refer to these as the “bread and butter” of flute repertoire. These two pieces are requested quite frequently on auditions of all varieties (from summer programs to professional orchestras). Thank you for your excellent question! Both Mozart flute concerti (G and D) are, in my opinion, #1 and #2 of the most essential pieces in flute repertoire.

Today’s blog will feature a sample repertoire list for those of you searching for new pieces to try, listed according to compositional era. Repertoire lists are great resources as they help jog your mind for pieces that you may have heard in the past that you found interesting, or exciting pieces by a particular composer that you may want to listen to or learn more about before reading through and programming. Sometimes what helped me the most, however, was simply browsing repertoire lists on the internet. That often meant taking an adventure to the music library, flipping through numerous scores, listening to flute CDs, and chatting with my fellow flutists for recommendations. There are so many to choose from!!! My go-to recital approach was to select a piece from each of the 4 major compositional eras (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary) with maybe another more off-the-wall contemporary piece or an additional French Flute School showstopper to keep things interesting. When I was a younger student, I was always a bit overwhelmed when searching for new pieces to work on over the summer or selecting a program for a future recital.
