Transcribing an established piece of repertoire for a new instrument unlocks new colors and expressions the original composer may have never dreamed of. On ART OF TRANSCRIPTION, flutist Alexander Lipay explores Brahms’ Sonata No. 1 in E minor, Schubert’s Sonatina No. 2 in A minor, and Franck’s Sonata in A major with a fresh perspective, swapping the string instruments out for the liquid, ethereal sound of the flute. Together with the celebrated pianist and “striking interpreter” (Musical America) Fanya Lin, Lipay unearths exciting qualities within each piece, and breathes new life into well-known notes.
