Are you looking for a popular piece for a concert - Badinerie, with its bouncy tune and fast notes, is one of the best known and best loved of flute pieces (and often used as a cell phone ring-tone). It is paired in this edition with the charmoing and contrasting Minuet. Both dances are taken from Bach's famous  Suite in B minor (BWV 1067)

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.

*in the duet version, flute 1 has the complete flute solo, while the accompaniment is compressed into a single line for the flute 2.
