Carl FischerOrchestral Excerpts For Flute
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A book of orchestral flute excerpts collected in one volume. Built for audition preparation and section work, not for learning the instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Flutists preparing orchestra or all-state audition lists
- Section players learning the standard passages before rehearsals
- Advanced students building a practice list with a teacher
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still working through a first method book
- Players wanting complete pieces rather than short passages
- Piccolo-only players — coverage centers on flute parts
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Audition-standard repertoire in one volume
Replaces hunting down individual scores when a list drops weeks before a date.
Detail 03
$58 price
Higher than a method book because it compiles passages from many separate published works.
Detail 04
No accompaniment
Practice is solo with a metronome. Play against recordings to learn tempo and context.
Detail 05
Print format
Takes breath marks and fingering notes in pencil, which is how most players prepare an excerpt.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No audio or play-along tracks — pair with recordings to learn context and tempo
- 02Check the passages against your specific audition list before relying on it
- 03Assumes solid tone and technique already; it is not a teaching method
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this cover my audition list?
It gathers standard orchestral flute passages. Compare it against the exact list you were sent, since committees sometimes request items outside the usual set.
02Is this for beginners?
No. Excerpts are drawn from professional orchestral parts and assume you already read fluently and have a developed tone.
03Does it include piccolo excerpts?
The focus is flute parts. If your audition requires piccolo, plan on a separate source for those passages.
04Are there recordings included?
No. It is printed music only. Most players work with a metronome and listen to full recordings to hear where each passage sits.
