Luis Hernández Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Hi, I like it. Nice variations. I think it's not easy writing for 4 flutes. The writing is very "classic", but also the style. The Alto flute should be written in transposition. I don't think that "Dynamics to be added at the players' discretion" is a good idea. In this form and style, if the 4 players add dynamics each one at his/her convenience this could sound as a XXI century contemporary piece. OK, even if the players may be cautious, the chance that they do not coincide is there. That indication is good for a solo player, or in contemporary music, in my opinion. Quote

I see. I comment on this in case you are interested: 1. For the composer it's easier in concert pitch. 2. For the player it's much easier in transposition. 3. If the Alto Flute is in concert pitch, you should indicate it. Otherwise the player will play in transposition. I made these mistakes more than once. Now, lesson learnt. Quote
