Selected Duets For Flute Podcast

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 42 Number 2, Tempo di Marcia, performed by David Summer. The tempo marking "Tempo di Marcia" translates to "March Tempo". This is a stately duet; full of staccato dotted eighth-sixteenth rhythms. Even without the staccato markings, these dotted eighth-sixteenth rhythms, in a march like this, are usually interpreted with a good-sized silent space after the dotted eighth note. At times, the flute 2 part takes the melody. This duet would be appropriate for a two flute processional performance. Perhaps at a wedding or graduation, for example where 2 flutes are playing alone. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 96.
