| I only have two pieces specifically written for Flugel.
As Mike said Michael Nyman's Flugelhorn and piano. I haven't tried it yet in earnest but it looks quite challenging - especially the last 4 bars which are hemi demi semiquavers (1/32ths for the North Americans - I actually prefer their system to be honest - must be the mathematician in me coming out!) but the tempo is mm = 72. Mike could comment on the level of difficulty in bringing this to performance standard. I would be interested in your thoughts on this Mike. In the Uk this is published by Chester.
The other one is Concertino for Flugel Horn and Brass Band of which I have the piano reduction. I have tried this and it is, I think, easier than Nyman's piece and I quite like it. In the Uk this is published by Studio Music Company.
Of course there is lots of trumpet music that suits itself to flugelhorn and I know that's not what you were asking for, but I think Allen Vizutti's Sonata #2 is lovely on the flugel - especially the first movt. I think this is a great piece of music, and the piano accompianament is good too which my accompianist says is not always the case when an instrumentalist composes.
Pat - I haven't heard of the piece you menthion - what is the level of difficulty of that and what is the piece like?
