Extraordinary Encores for recorder and piano

Zugabestücke | Morceaux brillants arranged by Piers Adams.

A selection of stunning encores, including Monti’s Csardas.

I hope that these pieces give as much pleasure in their new form to recorder players as they have done in the past to violinists, pianists and flautists.  They should help to prove that the humble flauto dolce is capable of much more than the occasional Handel Sonata.
