Valse des Fleurs: Reprint of the first edition. op. 87. 2 flutes and piano. Sheet music – January 1, 2002

In 1876, Julius Zimmermann (1851-1923) established a music publishing company in St. Petersburg. He entertained friendly relations with Ernesto Köhler as well as with other musicians, and printed a great number of Köhler's more than 100 flute compositions. Most of the compositions are romantic salon pieces with imaginative names, written for flute and piano, including highly virtuoso works but also compositions for technically less skilled flute amateurs. The Blumenwalzer op. 87 (flower waltz) - one of the few Köhler pieces for 2 flutes and piano - is less difficult as regards fingering. Young flutists with a beautiful tone can use it to sense the fine melodies of this charming and entertaining kind of music. Instrumentation: 2 flutes and piano op. 87 Read more
