Doppler Sonata Opus 25-2 flutes and Piano-Schott
Doppler Sonata Opus 25-2 flutes and Piano-Schott
About
Suitable for advanced players. This sonata for two flutes and piano by Franz Doppler was rediscovered by Prof. András Adorján in the former production archive of the Schott music publishing house and is now published for the first time.
An undated handwritten note on the title page of the manuscript solves the riddle: “NB. Von dieser Sonate nur Andante u. Rondo stechen zu lassen und das Stück demgemäß zu titulieren“. [NB. Engrave only Andante a. Rondo of this Sonata and name the piece accordingly.]
This is why only the last two movements were printed by Schott and this composition survived as a fragment. Andante and Rondo are very popular among flautists. Now they can enjoy the whole sonata including the first two movements Moderato and Menuetto.

Flautist/Composer-Franz Doppler
Composer and virtuoso flautist, Albert Franz Doppler (1821-1883) was born in Poland. He wrote an array of ballet and operatic works but was best known for his flute music.
In 1828, Franz Doppler began studying the flute with his father, Joseph Doppler and later formed a flute duo with his younger brother Karl. The Doppler brothers proceeded to tour Europe as a flute duo for many years, performing a number of their own arrangements which proved popular with audiences. Both brothers became members of the Orchestra of the German Theatre, Budapest.
Alongside their touring, they also founded the Hungarian Philharmonic Orchestra. Franz Doppler was the Principal flautist at the opera in Budapest and deputy conductor. He then became chief conductor of the Vienna Court Opera as well as Professor of Flute and the Vienna Conservatoire.
Franz Doppler composed an array of popular virtuosic pieces for flute including flute duets, concertos and showpieces. Many of his works include Russian and Hungarian elements as well as operatic themes.
