The Emperor's Gardener

The Emperor's Gardener (for solo flute and piano) by Kenneth Baird The sounds of Japan as interpreted by an American composer. The flute is featured with many rubato cadenza-like passages. Quite virtuosic-sounding at times and very audience-friendly. Excellent for those seeking an Asian-styled flute solo for festival, contest, or recital. Difficulty level: Medium Advanced to Advanced. The piano accompaniment is not difficult. Here, the sheet music for this solo is available separately, but The Emperor's Garden is also included in the collection "Artistic Solos for Flute" and piano, by Kenneth Baird.
