An Icon of the Popular Repertoire
Although not a virtuoso showpiece, The Entertainer does require a fair amount of technique and experience on the flute.
Crafted with this arrangement tailored for flute and piano, “The Entertainer” takes on a fresh allure as it melds the lilting grace of the flute with the harmonious embrace of the piano.
This arrangement elevates the piece into a true collaboration of voices.
The partnership between flute and piano breathes life into Scott Joplin’s creation, evoking a sense of nostalgia and playfulness that has endured through generations.
Through your performance, you pay homage to an era while imprinting your unique interpretation onto a beloved composition.
The flute has about 80% of the melody; the piano provides rhythm and harmonic accompaniment all the way through, with the melody given to it about 20% of the time.
