Louis Drouet (1792-1873) was a significant European flautist of his time. Born in Amsterdam, Drouet was a performer, composer, and conductor. These Three Little Sonatas are drawn from the end of the third section of Drouet's Method. With notes on the sources. A pianist would not need to be terribly advanced to perform these parts, making these pieces practical choices for studio recitals and solo competitions...Schott's edition comes with a well-written preface that helpfully places the pieces in history and explains corrections made to the urtext. It also includes a brief biography of Drouet and quotations from his other writings instructing students on the proper approach to tonguing, which comes in very handy in these sonatas and helps encourage a general intellectual curiosity about a historical performance practice...It is a fine set of sonatas for teachers and young players alike to own and enjoy.--The Flutist Quarterly
