A Flute can be played solo or as part of an ensemble. When played solo, the flutist typically performs alone without accompaniment. Solo flute repertoire includes pieces specifically written for the instrument, such as concertos and sonatas, as well as arrangements of music originally composed for other instruments or ensembles. The flute's versatile range and expressive capabilities make it well-suited for solo performance in various musical genres.
Both Syrinx or the flute solo from l'après midi (both incidentally by Debussy) are quite famous.
The solo was played by Jim Horn. He writes about it on his website. Incidentally, Bud Shank is the flute player on "California Dreamin,'" in case you're wondering about that as well.

The flute family primarily consists of three members: the concert flute, the piccolo, and the alto flute. The concert flute is the standard member, typically made of metal and played in a range of orchestral and solo settings. The piccolo is a smaller, higher-pitched version of the flute, while the alto flute is larger and tuned to a lower pitch, offering a richer, mellower sound. Each member has unique characteristics that contribute to their distinct roles in music.
