The Edition·S catalogue holds a great selection of music for flute: solo pieces, various chamber music constellations and concertos for solo flute and orchestra.
Carl Nielsen's Flute Concerto / Koncert for Fløjte og Orkester(1926) is a classic keeping students and professionals busy world wide. It is a marvelous example of Carl Nielsen’s late style: restless but precise, with incisive humour but a warm heart. The flow is quick and varied, the omission of all the brass but one makes the soundscape quite transparent, but Nielsen pulls no punches, and his Flute Concerto is unusually dynamic.

Bára Gísladóttir is one of the most remarkable composers of her generation. VÍDDIR for nine flutes, percussion trio, bass guitar and double bass has been praised as a "unique, special, haunting and above all stunning piece of music." Besides from VÍDDIR the flute plays a vital role in her recent catalogue of solo pieces and chamber music.
Most recently a new solo piece by Bára Gísladóttir has been commissioned by the Léonie Sonning’s Music Foundation for the French-Swiss flautist Emmanuel Pahud who will receive Denmark’s largest music prize, the Léonie Sonning Music Prize in 2024.
