Flutists selected to the semi-final and final round
will prepare a 25-minute program of their own choosing. The program should
include pieces which reflect a wide variety of styles and periods. This may
include single movements of works, sonatas, concerti, and unaccompanied pieces.
It is not necessary to perform all movements of a single work but any
individual movement of a work must be performed in its entirety. Cuts may be
made in the accompaniment and repeats may be deleted. Entire variations may be
omitted, as long as a minimum of 75% of the piece is performed.
The Semi-final round required 15 minutes of music from the 25-minute program
chosen by the performer and must include the required piece.
The Final round will be a 25-minute program.
