Edited by Stephanie Jutt and Carmit Zori. From the editor's notes: "Franz Doppler was the Professor of Flute at the Vienna Conservatoire and became chief conductor at the Vienna Court Opera, the first flutist to ever hold that position. His duo with his flutist brother Karl Doppler toured throughout Europe and performed the many works that Franz wrote for the two of them to play. One of those pieces, a true "novelty piece" in the most charming setting, is the "Duettino Americain" for flute duo or flute and violin, with piano. It features melodies that Franz felt were the "most American" from the popular songs of the day, and audiences today will still be amused and delighted with its virtuoso salon music style." Uses themes from Hail Columbia, The Star-Spangled Banner, Boatman Dance and Yankee Doodle.
