This publication contains the essential orchestral literature for alto flute. It is the only collection with the virtually complete alto flute parts of Stravinsky's Sacre, Ravel's Daphnis and Chloë and Boulez's Marteau sans Maître, as well as a number of smaller parts for works by Varèse, Britten and Holst. The introduction outlines the history of the alto flute in the modern orchestra.
