Flute repertory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flute repertory is the general term for pieces composed for flute (particularly Western concert flute).
The following lists are not intended to be complete, but rather to present a representative sampling of
the most commonly played and well-known works in the genre. The lists also do not generally
include works originally written for other instruments and subsequently transcribed, adapted, or
arranged for flute, unless such piece is very common in the repertory, in which case it is listed with
its original instrumentation noted.

Orchestral excerpts
Pulled from the Symphonic Orchestral literature, "Orchestral Excerpts" contain major solos or
technical passages for the flute (and piccolo). These are compliled into lists by orchestras when
posting a vacancy for the performer to play in order to obtain a job as an orchestral flute player.
Collections
= John Wummer, Orchestral Excerpts from the Symphonic Repertoire, Volumes I-IX, published
by International Music Company. This nine-volume 1967 collection contains some 500 pages of
flute music, comprising the distinctive flute parts from the majority of the most frequently
performed concert pieces to that date.
Jeanne Baxtresser (with piano reductions by Martha Rearick), Orchestral Excerpts for Flute
with Piano Accompaniment, published by Theodore Presser Company. Although containing
many of the same excerpts as the Wummer collection, Ms. Baxtresser's more modern collection
is enhanced by her own commentary on the material and use of the original parts [not re-
engraved parts]. Also available is a recording by Baxtresser discussing and performing the
excerpts.
