Adam Walker adapts a Mozart piano sonata for flute, plus works by Schubert and Doppler.

Adam Walker adapts Mozart's Piano Sonata No 17 in B flat for flute, plus works by Schubert and Doppler.

Adam Walker performs Mozart Piano Sonata No 17 in his own arrangement for piano and flute duo. Schubert himself wrote the brilliant and virtuosic Trockne Blumen variations for flute & piano based on his song from Die Schone Mullerin. It was written at the request of his friend and flautist Ferdinand Pogner and is in the form of a theme and variation for maximum opportunity to demontrate the flautist's virtuosic prowess no doubt. Adam Walker and James Baillieu complete their recital with a showpiece from another virtuoso flautist of the 19th century, Albert Doppler.  Doppler was born in Lviv in Ukraine and together with his flute-playing brother dazzled European audiences as a duo. Multi-talented, Franz Doppler wrote seven operas and fifteen ballets on top of countless pieces for flute and he had a distinguished career as Chief Conductor at the Vienna Court Opera at the same time as holding the position of Professor of Flute at the Vienna Conservatoire.
