Andersen: 24 Studies, Opus 15 for Flute

The "Andersen Studies" are an evergreen in the study of the flute. In fact, many teachers would rank it the number one book of studies. They are highly musical with wonderfully crafted harmonies, and with many of the musical problems set out for flutists to solve.

Andersen was a genius to have written such excellent studies. As Paul Taffanel remarked, "these Studies are as good as the 'Chopin Studies' for piano." The price has been kept as low as possible and reflects good value given the number of pages involved.

There is an optional audio version that contains the piano arrangement in two tempos, making them suitable for practice, for a total of 48 MP3s in all.
