Giacomo Susani Doberman – Yppan : Score and separate parts (20, 9 and 12 pages respectively ) Susani, a London – based player, composer, and performer has produced here a three – movement work in a modern but tonal style.

Scott Fields : Sense Upon The Blackened Starfish for Flute and Guitar : Bergmann
Scott Fields Bergmann Edition : Score and separate flute part : 12 and 4 pages respectively This composer is a new name to me, but he is an American guitarist who has a number of bands who concentrate on modern elements such as the avant – garde and to a certain extent the experimental music .He also likes mixing notation with improvisation in some works so I was wondering just what I was going to be in for here, with this 90 odd bar piece for flute and guitar. The first t
