Oh rondo, I'm afraid I can't answer that because my familiarity with classical flute pieces is so limited...and I can't remember names of pieces or composers well, either.
My knowledge of classical music is mostly limited to music I play in an orchestra as a violin player. I have shreds of flute passages floating through my head, but I can't remember what piece they were in or who composed them!
I hope Burning Down or someone else who is very knowledgeable about classical music will be able to give you a good opinion, because I wish I could! Your question is an interesting one.
I do like the flute (and violin!) passages in Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun very much, though!
(I *had* actually heard that piece before listening to it again in your Impressionistic music thread.)
Maybe I'll cheat and ask my dad what HIS favorite flute pieces/passages are...he may remember many more than I do! I'll also try listening to some of the ones Burning Down mentions earlier.
