Professor Gergely Ittzés invites you to an expedition exploring the instrument flute, with a focus on sounds and playing techniques beyond classical flute playing. This journey requires curiosity, playfulness, imagination, perseverance, and patience. As a reward for your efforts, you can be certain that the journey will be worthwhile, regardless of how far you wish to go. You will make new discoveries and experience previously unknown sensations and sounds. Throughout this process, you will acquire knowledge that will benefit you directly or indirectly, even if you are performing traditional tasks. The edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the flute, whether for instrumental practice, composition, or the intensive study of this versatile instrument and its sound worlds. Gergely Ittzés presents 42 imaginative miniature studies that lead the reader into new worlds of sound. His precise instructions and fascinating interpretation of the pieces make Ittzés' Flute Expedition an indispensable travel companion. Ittzés is deeply influenced by Hungarian music and continues the tradition of Mikrokosmos (Bartók), Fingerlarks (Veress) and Játékok (Kurtág). Ittzés is a reliable and trustworthy artist when it comes to playing and performing the most demanding flute repertoire of our time. He provides guidance and inspiration for every nuanced gesture, explicit fingering, and technical, acrobatic, and polyphonic requirement. His latest work offers a guide to modern flute playing. Additional material, including explanatory texts in English, German, and Hungarian, as well as notes on fingering notation and symbol legends, is available for download at Schott. To implement the techniques used in this Flute Expedition effectively, accompanying video material is also available through the edition. There is also an opportunity to directly contact the author and discuss ideas and experiences of using Flute Expeditions with other musicians in an online group.
Gergely Ittzés Flute Expedition invites curious flutists to explore sounds and playing techniques that are not part of classical training, but are essential for a contemporary approach to the instrument. The 42 'Imaginative Studies' also make for brilliant concert pieces.
