Hey just wanted to know if any body knows of a good technichal yet melodic solo piece for piccolo. I am about to do a major music exam and have to play four pieces. On flute I am going to play the difficult version of Pachelbel`s Canon in D with cello and piano accompaniment, and Riverdance(a challenging fast piece with lots of jumps). I am also going to play two on piccolo one is Debussy`s Cake Walk from Children Corner and the other I need your help. So any body got any ideas for a good piece I can learn in about two weeks?

Thanks

I recommend any of the Vivaldi piccolo concertos and Rossignol de Opera by Damare.

I like the Bartok Suite for Piccolo and Band.

oops! I meant Piccolo and Piano...why did I write band?

Try this piece that i found on Manhattan Beach Music.com. Its Fantasy on "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" for Piccolo (or Flute) and Piano by Robert Starer. its sounds amazing...u should definately try it out!!!!

Look into The Noisy Bird by Louis Balleron for Piccolo and Piano. It`s a semi-long piece, but the rythms are not too challenging and it`s fun to play.

Nightengale Serenade by Popp

Piccolo Espangol by Christenson

they`re both really cute piccolo solos!
