Cecile Chaminade: Concertino For Flute And Piano Op.107

Cecile Chaminade's Concertino For Flute And Piano provides quite a workout for the flutist with its wide-ranging, highly decorative solo part. A broad and graceful melody opens the work. After a more active central section, marked Più animato agitato in the score, a short oboe phrase leads into a cadenza for the soloist. A reprise of the opening melody and a rousing coda conclude this melodic and attractive work.
