Sheet music for flute:
pour Roland Cavin
(piccolo, flute, alto flute)
Schott Verlag, FTR 196
Rating: difficult
- Viertel ca. 84
Complicated rhythm without a time notation. Everyone has a score of his own.
Not as hard to play as it looks at first sight. A good training for communication and listening of the musicians.
