fluten quartet (Piccolo, Flute, Alto-Flute in G, Bass-Flute)
A three mouvements piece for the steady combination piccolo, flute, altoflute in G and bassflute.
All parts are equally demanding, therefore it is an ideal enrichment of the repertoire for flutequartet.
Rhythmical concise passages alternate with calm passages, which are defined by tonal and tonal not fixed tone language. No use of contemporary techniques. Difficulty: medium / advanced
Each mouvement, about 4 minutes of duration, can also be performed separately.
A very expressive 6 minutes piece, which is technically and soundwise highly demanding to the performer. Contemporary techniques fit naturally in the musical context. Melancholic melodic passages contrast with virtuos expressive parts. An ideal piece for exams!
Hints about the realization of the contemporary techniques are included in the edition.
