REVIEWS
This piece is a good piece for me to introduce alto flute to my students. Your piece will be the third piece played by my student during her ALCM exam in April 2018. The melody is very suitable for alto flute. Your …in the quiet evening hours is a brilliant work for alto flute. It suits the range of the instrument and is reasonably technically demanding for young performers. My sincere thanks for your work. We enjoy playing this piece very much.
