This List has been compiled to help students to purchase  music wisely. It can be considered as the basis of a good professional library, one that will be useful for all events from a formal evening recital to a children's concert. Not all the pieces will appeal to every player everywhere, though the list would be considered by most professional flutists as a good performing library for both performers and teachers. It includes useful arrangements which work well on the flute and concerti with piano reductions.  
Where specific editions have been indicated, these are suggested as the best available. The criteria for recommending a particular edition are (a) it follows the original exactly or most nearly, (b) it interferes least with what the composer wrote, and (c) it is the most sensible performing edition from the viewpoint of both players. The list is divided into FLUTE AND PIANO and SOLO FLUTE, the Flute & Piano List being divided into A REPERTOIRE LIST, and SECONDARY  USEFUL REPERTOIRE.
