Variations on "Trockne Blumen" for Flute and Piano Op.post.160 D 802

Schubert Variations on "Trockne Blumen" for Flute and Piano Op.post.160 D 802

Since there is hardly a doubt that Schubert’s Variations hold the foremost rank among all Romantic flute compositions, it is not at all surprising that numerous editors have concerned themselves with this extraordinary work.  This publication is a performing edition based on the Urtext of the New Schubert Edition

Although the autograph still exists (Vienna, Stadt-und Landesbibliothek, MH 2035/c) and despite the fact that it is thoroughly marked by Schubert, many questions arise concerning various readings of the text, especially those regarding dynamic marks and articulation.  Moreover, with this publication a performing edition of the first, discarded version of Variation V has been made available for the first time.
