Contemporary flute repertoire list
A contemporary flute repertoire list is a collection of music pieces composed in the 20th and 21st centuries. These pieces are often characterized by their innovative styles, techniques, and sound effects, and they reflect the artistic trends and movements of their respective times. The repertoire includes compositions for solo flute, flute with piano or electronics, and chamber music and orchestral pieces that feature the flute as a solo instrument or as part of an ensemble.
Contemporary flute music often includes extended techniques, such as multiphonics, microtones, and flutter-tonguing, which require advanced technical skills and experimentation from the flutist. Knowing and mastering a wide range of contemporary flute repertoire is essential for any serious flutist who wants to stay current and relevant in the modern musical landscape.
