Nielsen - Flute Concerto for flute and piano

András Adorján talks about his new edition in Flöte aktuell - 2.2012

...There are of course musical, but first of all conceptional reasons for my new edition. A very important reason is the fact, that the cue notes are very much missing in the new Carl-Nielsen-Edition. This new Carl-Nielsen-Edition is on the highest scientifical level due to the recently gained insight of the newly discovered sources. Nevertheless many flautists prefer the first edition by Telmányi  for practical use, as the cue note are not just useful but almost essential in such a chamber musically written flute concerto. In my edition I have tried to combine the advantages of both editions... 

Carl Nielsen’s flute concerto is, together with Jacques Ibert’s, among the most popular and most widely performed flute concertos of the 20th Century.


"This is an intelligent edition which is clearly printed and provides effective study material ... an excellent practice tool, and is likely to be invaluable in the preparation of this piece ... Highly recommended".

"The new edition of the recent and young innovative Danish publisher Edition Svitzer combines the advantages of the two previous editions ... Included in the music there are exhaustiv comments about the work and days of Nielsen ... This edition was revised and corrected by Maestro András Adorján".

"The new edition of the Carl Nielsen Flute Concerto edited by András Adorján is remarkable for its originality and significance ... The graphic idea of printing the solo orchestral parts in red is very useful ... The edition is accompanied by an extensive critical and historical apparatus, and stands as an absolute reference point not only in relation to the Nielsen Concerto, but also as a guide for modern publishing".

"Every once in a while something comes along that is so brilliant and obvious, you wonder why it has not been done before. This is the case for the new edition of the Carl Nielsen Flute Concerto ... This new edition is printed on heavy stock 8.75" x 12" paper and careful attention has been given to page turns. It is a must have for every serious flutist".
