"The music is allowed to sing and there is no surrender to self-indulgence."
(MusicWeb March 2009)
Written for the virtuoso Ferdinand Bogner, the Variations on Trockne Blumen from Die schöne Müllerin , Schubert's only original composition for flute and an instrumental tour de force , takes its theme from the climactic song of the cycle The Fair Maid of the Mill . Six other songs, from Schubert's final cycle, Winterreise, and the posthumous Schwanengesang, arranged for flute and piano by Theobald Boehm, complement a highly effective transcription of the much-loved Arpeggione Sonata by flautist and conductor Uwe Grodd.
Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D. 821 (arr. U. Grodd for flute)
Winterreise, Op. 89, D. 911 (excerpts) (arr. T. Boehm for flute)
Schwanengesang, D. 957 (excerpts) (arr. T. Boehm for flute)Introduction and Variations on Trockne Blumen from Die Schone Mullerin, Op. 160, D. 802
