| Title Name | 24 Etudes for Flute (Urtext Edition with Flute 2 part), Op. 15 |
| Marketing Copy | This edition immortalizes Ms. Wincenc’s inspiring sessions with the great French flutist Marcel Moyse by creating a second flute part playable by the teacher or a fellow student. This unique approach underscores the musical elements within the lines and teaches the student rhythmic stability, phrasing, intonation, and quality of sound by playing with the master. The edition also offers a unique glimpse into Andersen's brilliance and creativity with the included manuscript fragment and sketch from his Etude Op. 15 Number 1. |

| Program Notes | For over a century, the 24 Etudes, Op. 15 of Joachim Andersen have formed a much beloved and core component of the flute repertoire. Far from being pedantic exercises, the merit of these etudes lies in their powerful musical quality as well as their systematic approach to developing a complete technique. A renowned flutist, soloist, and teacher, Andersen turned to composing after suffering a debilitating paralysis of his tongue, which ended his international career as a virtuoso. A devoted pedagogue, he wrote over one hundred etudes for flute, most of them unpublished. Throughout the many hours of work spent devising the second flute part, we became interested in Andersen the man. Through research and discovery, we learned that Joachim's widow moved to New York City, and donated his scores and papers to the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Not only did we have access to Andersen's own copy of Op. 15, with his pencilled-in markings, but also to a manuscript fragment of Op. 15 Number 1, housed at the Pierpont Morgan Library (as depicted on the opening page of this edition). Sifting through these materials offered us a unique glimpse into Andersen's personality: brilliant, creative, quirky, and humorous. The idea for this edition has its foundation in the teachings of the great French flutist Marcel Moyse (a pivotal mentor to Professor Wincenc) who as a young boy played for Andersen himself. In lessons, Moyse would accompany the student in these etudes by creating a counterpoint to the original study, and often vocally improvising melodies and / or lyrics (most poignantly in Etude #3, whose first three melodic notes were for him, "Je t'aime ...Oui, Je t'aime!"). In adding his second line, Moyse was able to underscore the harmonic, melodic, rhythmic structure and shape of the lines in a way which went far beyond any possible verbal explanation. This way, the student learned about rhythmic stability, phrasing, intonation, and quality of sound by playing with the master. In this new edition of the 24 Etudes for Solo Flute, Op. 15, Professor Wincenc not only wishes to take Moyse's improvisations further but to immortalize her inspiring sessions with him, by creating a second flute part playable not only by the teacher (to assist in guiding the student in his or her development) but in some cases by a beginner student. The additional part can be a mere skeleton of the original (Numbers 3, 14), designed to propel the student's line forward, while in some, the part is characteristically akin but compositionally quite new (Numbers 6, 18,24). We hope that this edition will inspire the creativity of teacher and student alike, and lead to radiantly musical and fluidly brilliant flute playing!
