Harvey Sollberger presents the Grand Quartet (In Memoriam: Friedrich Kuhlau), for four C flutes.
From the composer: ’My Grand Quartet for flutes was written in the summer and fall of 1961. It began as a project to compose a brief, ‘occasional’ piece to play with friends, taking as its model the Grand Quartet of the nineteenth-century Danish composer, Friedrich Kuhlau (renowned among flutists as the author of many amiable flute ensemble pieces). In the course of being composed, Grand Quartet took on a life of its own, and, while retaining its inscription to Kuhlau (the score is headed: ‘In memoriam: Friedrich Kuhlau’), it became more fire-breathing than amiable.
What strikes me today, close to thirty years later, is how ‘performable’ the piece has become. Current performers, such as those in Flute Force, take it in stride, while at the time of its first performance it was seen as extremely difficult, un-performable in fact, without a conductor. Performances today are numerous in comparison with those of earlier years, and are as often as not done by student groups!’
Duration: 8'30. Score only. For advanced players.
