Okay, so, now that the zombie uprising is done with*, I've got a question to ask!

See, I'm a (lapsed) flautist. But... the last group I played with, in high school was actually sort of dominated by strings. So, I know jack about actual flute music - we never played anything with an actual flute part, I would be given the violin part and have to transpose from there.

I have just added to my list of projects a short doujinshi in which a hobby flautist plays a couple of pieces for practice in the morning.

So, uh. I know there are music-educated entities on my flist. Anyone know of a couple nice, preferably classical, flute pieces that Miles Edgeworth would probably enjoy playing? ♥

*Thanks to everyone who blogged it. It was AWESOME to wake up and find half my flist raving about zombies. ♥ Best apocalypse ever.

I was kind of in the opposite situation for two years: no string/full orchestra, but the school across town had a wind ensemble, so I was given bassoon parts. Cellos and bassoons have similar ranges, so they're written in the same clef, but bassoons can go a whole step lower than cellos; our lowest note is the open C string and I kept running into low Bs and B flats, so I'd have to play those up an octave. That was weird. [/babble]

Uh...flute pieces. I should know more, especially since a flute player was my carpool ride for those two years, but I don't. Mozart wrote a double concerto for violin and flute...there are a lot of other flute sonatas or concertos; I just don't know enough by composer.

Yeah, that's the situation I was in all the time... violins have insane ranges, especially in the high notes, as compared to flutes. I think the highest I could go was a high F? G? Man, I don't remember... It was an adventure, though.

Ah, well, thanks anyway. :D
