Flute and violin concertos: do they exist?

Post by zooflute »

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a flute and violin concerto out there.

There probably is. And if not, you can probably take a piece made for piano and make it into a violin accompaniment. For my flute recital, I played Ave Maria with a harp accompaniment that was originally written for piano.

There is at least Martinu concerto, H. 252, Vivaldi RV 84, Vivaldi RV509, and JS Bach BWV 1044 (in a minor, I think). Also look for more Vivaldi, as well as Telemann. You might look, too, for double violin concerti, though these would need a little editing for the flute--no double stops (Robert Dick multiphonics, anyone?) or low As and Gs, for example. Is the Bach one actually a triple concerto, with harpsichord, maybe? I think there's a Milhaud one , too. Also, get on the Flute World and Shar (string music) sheet music pages and search for, respectively, "flute and one string" or "violin and _______". :D
Oh, yeah; the numbers are from the composers' catalogs of compositions.
