I recently worked on Samuel Robles's Dos Miniaturas for flute and piano with one of my undergraduate students. The 'cowboy' folk music is fun, melodic, and accessible to listeners. The composition is perfect to work on various technical abilities such as playing long phrases, moving evenly between large intervals, and keeping a light, continuity in style. It is a fabulous piece for intermediate to advanced players who want to program something short and fun on their recital.
