The pieces for 2 flutes and piano op. 65, which have now been re-published for the first time and which were printed in 1909 under the somewhat cumbersome title “16 characteristic pieces for 2 flutes and piano”, are among the composer's mature early works and with the opus number 65 to his penultimate printed work. Reduced in the requirements for the two flute parts and the piano, but extremely accurate in its musical statements, the pieces were probably written with educational intent for young, aspiring musicians and therefore represent a great discovery for this line-up from today's point of view These two volumes are wonderfully enriching the repertoire at this level of difficulty.
