Flötist/inn/en und ihre Begleiter/innen dürfen sich deshalb über diese Henle-Neuausgabe auf chamoisfarbenem Papier mit dem bekannten blaugrauen Einband freuen: Sie ist - ich bin geneigt »natürlich wieder« zu sagen - vorbildlich klar und übersichtlich gesetzt, mit Rücksichtnahme auf günstige Seitenwendestellen. Und sie enthält als weitere Komposition ein kleines Morceau de lecture, also ein Blattlesestück, ebenfalls - wie die Fantaisie - für den »Concours de flûte« am Pariser Conservatoire komponiert.

Das Liebhaberorchester, 2018

Inutile de vous présenter la Fantaisie Op 79, un des classiques du répertoire (...) Chez Henle Verlag, elle est couplée avec le morceau de lecture publié dans sa version originale (19 mesures), la préface d'Annette Oppermann précise remarquablement les circonstances de la naissance de ces deux oeuvres que les huit élèves de Paul Taffanel au conservatoire de Paris durent exécuter le 28 Juillet 1898 au concours annuel.

Traversières, 2017

Das Autograph der Fantaisie ist leider verschollen. Für die neue Urtext-Ausgabe stand deshalb als Quelle nur die Erstausgabe zur Verfügung. Die darin enthaltenen Druckfehler und Ungenauigkeiten wurden jedoch von der Herausgeberin sorgfältig korrigiert und detailliert aufgelistet. Schon allein deshalb lohnt sich die Anschaffung der neuen Urtextausgabe, selbst für Besitzer einer der älteren Editionen. Ein weiteres Argument für den Kauf der vorliegenden Neuausgabe ist das Morceau de lecture, das quasi als Zugabe in die Ausgabe aufgenommen wurde.
