Kummer Trios for free

Dear Flute Lovers,
On a beautiful spring day, when 'summer is a cumin in', I find that also coming in, in the form of free pdfs, are the romantic flute works of  Kaspar Kummer.

Yes, I was just hunting up trios and duets for free online, and I found a fantastic amount of Kummer which is thrilling, because trios that are melodious, interesting, and at the intermediate level were especially what I was hunting.

Have a look at this list of links below, and please help yourselves to downloadable pdfs for printing.
Kummer is lovely, operatic, romantic, tuneful and his etudes and trios and duos contain many great articulation and leaping techniques and are fun in their fully flutily-fingered passages.

Greatly interesting to play; so do help yourself.

Short biography:
 Kummer, Kaspar (also spelled: Caspar, Gaspard, and Jaspar) 1795 - 1870 
 Studied flute, numerous other instruments, as well as composition. In 1835 Kummer played in the Coburger Kapelle Orchestra.  Kummer's compositions are delicately scored and imaginative, particularly the Trios for three flutes and his chamber works for flute with strings and/or pianoforte.

One Flute Band:
And if you're missing duet or trio partners to play with, do use your recording device!!!
Record Flute 2 part into your recording device, with an audible metronome to keep you steady.
Give yourself two bars of count-in. If you make a mistake, just call out a bar number and count yourself in again. Don't worry; doesn't have to be perfect.
Play this recording back and play the Flute 1 part LIVE overtop.

If using multi-tracking with earphones and metronome function see: Jen's instructions for using a Zoom H4N. Quartet or Triple tracking on a Zoom H4N info. is here.

Way too fun playing duets and trios at home! Just love it!

Best, Jen
