Arrangements of familiar pieces for two flutes were very popular in the romantic era. This enabled works which were current at that time to be played in salons and at home. Folk songs, opera arias, piano and concert pieces were arranged by such figures as Giuseppe Gariboldi, Kaspar Kummer and Ernesto Köhler. Elisabeth Weinzierl and Edmund Wächter have selected and arranged the most beautiful and bestknown pieces for this edition making these melodies accessible even to the less experienced musician.
