January 6Jan 6 Hello! I was working on a movement and I wanted to go for a lake-theme so I was wondering whether C or G Major sounded better for this. I also provided scores for each major key. Edited January 6Jan 6 by Crescent Roulade wrong files on accident
January 7Jan 7 Hi @Crescent Roulade! Just a personal preference but I will put it in Db major for a calmer atmosphere. One thing to consider is that, if you really want to use flute as the solo instrument, the G major one contains notes lower than the middle C and won't be playable by the flute (not even an alto flute with the F#3).

Edit: Perhaps a Bass Flute could be used if the G major one were sought after. Or you could transpose it up an octave.
