Pualani Flute

Although the modern piccolo was invented in the mid-1800s, we don’t see a lot of piccolo music by women composers until about a century later. If you prefer playing historical repertoire, check out the Baroque flute sonatas on the main VFS page – many of these will also work well on piccolo.

While many of the pieces below have recordings on YouTube, there are also several that do not. Most of the solos that are not in the YouTube playlist for this section have SoundCloud recordings, and I’ve noted the account name you can find them under in the “Description” column.

Like the alto flute section, many of the pieces below do not have recordings on YouTube. Most of the solos that are not in the YouTube playlist for this section have audio recordings on the composer’s website or SoundCloud. For the latter, I’ve noted the account name you can find them under in the “Description” column.

Many of the pieces below are intended for a single performer who plays a different flute in each movement. However, several are also available for c flute, in order to help make them more accessible.

I haven’t been able to find recordings yet of all of these pieces; however, since recordings are an important part of making compositions more accessible to the flute community at large, I hope to be able to expand the corresponding playlist in the future.
