Flexible pieces may be performed in many ways, from one instrument alone, one instrument with keyboard accompaniment, combinations of brass, woodwind and strings to full orchestra. The possibilities are endless. Download the parts you need from the list—they all fit together. If you can’t find the part you need, you may request a new one (premium subscribers).
When choosing parts, remember that part 1 will normally contain the melody. For the harmony to be complete, you should also have at least one player on each of the parts, UNLESS you have chosen to include a keyboard instrument, which will contain the complete harmony. So possible combinations may be:
1. Solo instrument (part 1) + keyboard.
2. Solo instrument (part 1) + second player (either part 2, 3 or 4) + keyboard.
3. Instruments on all four parts (no keyboard).
4. Instruments on all four parts + keyboard.
Remember, you can build out very large combinations by doubling parts. For example, a symphony orchestra would look something like this:
Part 1: flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, violin.
Part 2: flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, violin.
Part 3: clarinet, bassoon, horn, trombone, viola.
Part 4: bassoon, bass clarinet, trombone, tuba, cello, double bass.
