Flight of the Bumble Bee from the opera 'The Legend of Tsar Saltan' based on a text by Pushkin is, without doubt, the best-known work in the oeuvre of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1906). The musical droning of the bumble bee has wedged its way into the concert halls and radio stations in different arrangements and interpretations. Uwe Korn now presents a new arrangement for flute and piano. The well-balanced and nice-sounding setting is of medium difficulty and makes Flight of the Bumble Bee accessible to pupils for private music-making or auditions.
