Clinton F. Nieweg, Principal Librarian of the Philadelphia Orchestra (retired), justifiably renowned in the field of music library science for his critical editions of major orchestral works in the classical canon, has now trained his critical eye on music for Flute or Piccolo soloist with Band or Wind Ensemble accompaniment.
It is a reference book of over 1,000 titles, created by more than 700 composers: from 1625 to 2025; from Mozart to Mancini, to guide soloists, teachers, and music directors in selecting the best repertoire for performance.
The result is "an indispensable resource for performers, conductors, and educators alike" that "should sit on every reference shelf". Compiled from websites, catalogs, and other references sources, and painstakingly cross-checked for accuracy, this 239-page book is the result of over 15 years and hundreds of hours of diligent sleuthing.
