Arabesque 1 for flute ensemble

Debussy (1862-1918) wrote this beautiful piece originally for piano, and it is often played by the harp. With a flute ensemble, one has the chance to imitate the floating, enchanted atmosphere emitted by these instruments, providing flutists with a perfect study in sound balance and blending of all parts of the music. Take care that all long notes fade away (in the style of a piano) and that each arpeggio is supported within the phrase expression.
