ROMBERG FLUTE CONCERTO

To Whom This May Concern:
You have purchased an orchestral score and a set of parts for the Bernard
Romberg Flute concerto, op 17. The product is marked: “for rental only”
because the previous distributor had a policy prohibiting purchase of these
materials. Only the Flute part and the Piano Accompaniment were available for
purchase. John Wion, discoverer of the work has authorized me to now sell the
score and orchestral parts. This enclosure is to provide you with a record of
your legal purchase in case keeping the parts in your possession was ever
questioned.
Also, please find below some comments from Dr. Jon Ceander Mitchell of the
University of Massachusetts at Boston who conducted me performing the
concerto in April, 2012. His suggestions and errata information will hopefully
lend assistance to you as you prepare for your concert.
Quoting five Major points:
1) There must be at least one very strong 2nd violin player as some melodies are
introduced from there.
2) Trumpets can double the horns at the octave, though only in spots and very
discreetly, and not playing at all in the second movement. It is most unusual to
have timpani but no trumpets.
3) 2nd movement halfway through, the descending viola line that needs to be
completed by a cellist. [p.38, 5 before E, one cellist to play f-B-Csharp 8ths]
4) An A sharp in the solo line in 1st movement that is critical; otherwise it sounds
bluesy [p. 30,5 after H].
5) Missed accidentals in 1st violin in the 3rd movement [p. 43, 2nd and 3rd mm
and p. 51, 3rd and 4th mm. C naturals].
