A repertoire gap provided the impetus for a genuine new discovery: there is plenty of repertoire for the flute from the Baroque period and again since the 20th century. However, the productive Romantic era treated this instrument somewhat neglected. The Terragni/Sarasin duo wanted to remedy the situation and resorted to the tried and tested means of adaptation, which has been common in music for centuries. The object of the adaptation to the flute was not a well-known work, but a real trouvaille: the violin sonata by the composer Emilie Mayer, who was sometimes described in her time (although much younger) as the “female Beethoven”. Only a few interventions in the original text were necessary to make this energetic work appear in a new guise. The sonata is complemented by an original suite by Laura Netzel, who is also little known today, and several smaller pieces by the two female composers, which once again impressively prove what repertoire treasures there still are to be unearthed off the beaten track.

It all began with a fascinating find in the well-known antiquarian music shop Schlohlein in Basel, where Miriam Terragni came across a substantial but previously neglected Romantic flute sonata, an era which offers a fairly slim repertoire for flute soloists. The sonata was composed by Max Meyer-Olbersleben and it is a mystery to Terragni that this romantic bravura does not belong to the flute repertoire. The other recorded works are true but forgotten pearls of literature for the instrument. Miriam Terragni is the solo flutist of the Argovia Philharmonic under the baton of Douglas Bostock. Her work as solo flutist was influenced by her work with the Orchester Philharmonique Suisse. There she worked together with renowned conductors such as Mario Venzago, Charles Dutoit, Gerd Albrecht and Nello Santi. As a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra musician, Miriam Terragni celebrates success throughout Europe. Productions for radio and TV emphasize her versatility. In addition to her busy activity in orchestras and as a passionate chamber musician, she teaches at the music schools at Laufen, Allschwil and Reinach.
