Duruflé - Prélude & fugue sur le nom d'Alain

Hello,

Page 7, 2d measure, the score mentions an addition of the flute 4’ at the choir. But this stop is already engaged! I don’t see where the mistake is in this publication. Has somebody an idea about that?

Cordially,

I think that the piano two bars earlier is meant to be done by pushing off the 4'

Hansmartin.

Yes , that's possible, in the case of a non expressive choir and therefore without the 2'.

Hi,

Ludu is right - I have a note in my score (probabyl from my teacher) to put off the 4' flute, if the Positif is under expression and the registration is 8' 4' 2'. That means that the p measure is 8' 2' with box closed.

I am not sure that 8' 2' is appropriated, because putting the 4' off is not really conform to the piano written before the addition of the 4'.
