Air a l'Italienne translates as 'song in the Italian style', (meaning Bel Canto) and indicates that this piece should be played with a simple, lilting quality in the tuneful first section followed by a contrasting bravura style in the second section.

SAMPLE:

The included flute duet is the special feature of this edition, allowing the work to be performed by 2 equal flutes with or without a piano. For contextual awareness, the play-along mp3 has orchestral sounds.  In the duet version Flute 1 plays the original solo, and the accompaniment is compressed into a single line for Flute 2.
