We consulted our star chart and came up with the perfect flute/piano duo for each zodiac sign.
Read on to find your sign, and take a listen to the list on Spotify.
For bold and ambitious Aries, we recommend the Liebermann Sonata. You’ll love the both the expansive first movement and the driving, finger-twisting second movement.
Earth-bound Taurus gravitate toward comfort and luxury, and will feel at home in the rich sonorities of the Franck Violin Sonata. Plant your feet and enjoy the sweeping melodies of this masterwork.
Copland Duo for flute and piano
Known as the twins, Gemini has enough ideas and chatter for two people! We recommend the Copland Duo for flute and piano. Written using quotes from many of Copland’s earlier works, the Duo changes tempo, mood and melody quickly, and utilizes the piano as an equal partner to the flute.
Cancer is a highly intuitive water sign, overflowing with emotional intelligence. The Reinecke Undine Sonata will give you the chance to stretch your story-telling, capturing the myth of Undine (it’s basically the original Little Mermaid.)
Passionate and vivacious, Leos feel most comfortable in the spotlight. That’s why we recommend Borne’s Fantaisie Brilliante on Themes from Bizet's Carmen. You’ll love the sumptuous melodies and exciting variations of this operatic solo.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos are logical and practical, so we know you will appreciate the straightforward form of Quantz Sonatas for flute and continuo. Studious Virgo will appreciate the opportunity to choose the perfect Quantz sonata for them.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libra’s fixation with balance and harmony make Classical-era compositions perfect. Try Frederick the Great’s Sonatas for a perfectly balanced experience.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Incredibly passionate and powerful, this water sign needs a piece that matches its intensity. Enter the Zyman Sonata No 1. With its driving rhythmic motives and powerful melodies, we think Scorpios will have trouble putting it down.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius will love the Griffes Poem for it's optimistic, adventurous themes. This single-movement flute concerto works well for flute and piano, but with your ambition, we have a feeling you'll end up in front of an orchestra soon enough.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorn’s discipline and persistence will help them perform every note of the Prokofiev Sonata with conviction and poise - from the fast-paced, dizzying second movement all the way to the last high D in the final movement.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 19
Humanitarian Aquarius often find themselves focused on social justice and bettering our world. Valerie Coleman’s Fanmi Imen will give you the chance to make a statement, depicting Maya Angelou’s famous work, Human Family. Both the musical and literary poems acknowledge differences within mankind, either due to ethnicity, background, or geography. "We are more alike, my friends, than we are unlike,” reaffirming our humanity as a reminder of unity.
Pisces (February 20 - March 20)
Imaginative Pisces will love the dreamy Sancan Sonatine for its light and fanciful introduction, and your audience will love hearing your creative tone color and phrasing decisions.
