"This arrangement of "Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche" is based on Richard Strauss' work for a huge orchestra with a broad variety of instruments. I dared to make this reduction for five flutes and one ratchet, because I believe that the crucial character of Strauss' hero, Till - a  witty rogue, a mischievous jester of lively agility, as well as of south Bavarian charm and a happy disposition - matches miraculously the character of the flute!"

Instrumentation:

• Flute 1
• Flute 2/Piccolo (and Ratchet/Rattle)
• Flute 3 (doubles on Schnarrkopf/buzzing-headjoint - optional)
• Alto Flute
• Bass Flute
