Description:
Kyle MacLeod writes: "When attending a colleague’s violin recital, the moment she began playing the first movement of the Cinq mélodies I fell in love with it. I could hear that it would sit extremely well on the flute and I realised there was only a single work by Prokofieff in the flute repertoire, Sonata no 2 in D Major op 94. This is also available for violin and piano, rearranged by the composer himself a year after the original publication. Just like the Sonata, we could now have the Cinq mélodies for flute or violin with piano accompaniment, providing more Russian music for flautists to enjoy. My adaptation stays true to the violin arrangement which Prokofieff himself based on his original version for voice and piano. Harmonic fingerings have been added to the flute part to create rich harmonic effects similar to those produced in the violin part, and double stops have been adapted to monophonic passages as befits the flute."
