Flute repertory
Flute repertory is the general term for pieces composed for flute (particularly Western concert flute). The following lists are not intended to be complete, but rather to present a representative sampling of the most commonly played and well-known works in the genre. The lists also do not generally include works originally written for other instruments and subsequently transcribed, adapted, or arranged for flute, unless such piece is very common in the repertory, in which case it is listed with its original instrumentation noted.
Flute alone
Solo flute with piano
Pieces with an "(O)" originally for flute and orchestra. Opus numbers omitted unless necessary for identification.
