This tune is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. It is a variation on an older tune, “Jackson's Coggie in the Morning”, which had appeared in O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes around 1805.
This étude in D minor is taken from the second book of Twenty Easy Melodic Progressive Studies by Italian composer Ernesto Köhler.
Today's piece is the central air from Johann Sebastian Bach's second French Suite for harpsichord, composed around 1722. Originally in C minor, this movement has been transposed to F minor to better fit the range of the flute.
Many thanks to Joyce Kai for contributing this arrangement!
Originally written for violin and piano, this well-known “Cantabile” in D major seems to have been composed not for public use but rather for the private enjoyment of Paganini and his circle. Here we find the composer's virtuoso fireworks tamed, his bag of tricks closed. Far removed from the pyrotechnic “Caprices”, the Cantabile is instead a gorgeous Italian vocalise.
Thanks to Mauro from Italy for suggesting this piece!
This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland, published in 1903. O'Neill's source was Chicago fiddler, dancer and police patrolman Timothy Dillon, originally from County Kerry in western Ireland.
This blazingly fast 4/8-time moto perpetuo is the fourteenth étude from Sigfried Karg-Elert's 30 Caprices: a “Gradus ad Parnassum” of the modern technique for flute solo. It is marked “Il più presto possibile”, which literally means “As fast as possible”!
Here is another duet in E minor from the 55 Easy Pieces by Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. The title “La Champenoise” refers to the French province of Champagne, now best known for the sparkling white wine that bears its name.
