About
In the 19th Century, nationalist themes came into fashion. Composers drew on songs and dances from their native lands, working them into paraphrased adaptations, potpourri arrangements and sets of variations or incorporating folk elements from various cultures in their compositions.
In this collection, seven of his ‘easily playable’ compositions have been chosen with musical links to different European countries. Popp shows his ability to distil the essence from musical styles and fashions of his time, setting lyrical and virtuoso passages so well for the instrument that their effectiveness far outweighs any difficulties.
The popularity of his pieces for tuition purposes, school concerts or youth music competitions remains undiminished to this day. This edition is essentially based on the first printed versions of these pieces – with just a small number of printing errors and inconsistencies corrected without comment.
Composer-Wilhelm Popp
German composer, Wilhelm Popp (1828-1903) was a talented flautist and pianist. He wrote over 600 works, many of them for the flute. Popp studied under Caspar Kummer and Louis Philippe Drouet. In 1860, he became Principal Flute of the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra. During this time, he composed an array of virtuosic works for flute based on Verdi’s Rigoletto Fantasie, Liszt’s solo piano paraphrase and ‘La Traviata’ Waltz amongst others.
