Flute & Piano (E-G)

Sonata

Eads, E

This sonata opens with a Preface employing two theme areas—one in an oddly subdivided four, and the other in a lyrical 7/8. Some of these themes are transformed and appear later in the Epilogue. The following movement, "Edna," was written in homage to Edna St. Vincent Millay and her poem "The Concert." This section is through-composed, and uses the poem's structure and words as musical inspiration- the flute's lines expressing the words, the pianist acting as accompanist to a "singer." You could literally read the poem whilst listening to the flute's lines and imagine the flute singing the words. Edna is followed by a tranquil Meditation. The final movement, Psalm (or Epilogue), seeks to find closure to The Concert. Edna tells us at the end of The Concert, that "I will come back to you, I swear I will; And you will know me still. I shall be only a little taller, Than when I went." So the final movement tells the story of the return. Both flute and pianist attempt to find their way, sometimes losing the tonality of the other, but eventually "singing" together the secondary theme.'

Sonatina Semplice

Eben, P

Petr Eben's 1955 Sonatina Semplice, for flute and piano, is an appealing and uncomplicated piece for home music-making and amateur musicians - though, of course, its inherent charm makes it eminently suitable for any light recital. In three movements, with plenty of catching ideas and melodies.

For the intermediate to advanced intermediate player.

The Sonata op. 29 is Anton Eberl's only work for flute and piano. It was composed no later than November 1805; Jin-Ah Kim places the work in 1804, a productive year in which Eberl also wrote the Grand Duo op. 26 for cello and piano and the Symphony in D minor op. 34. Exceptionally for a work from this period, there is no alternative violin part. The sonata reveals Eberl's subtle sense of sonority and tone color as the work progresses from the serious demeanor of the first movement, to the songlike character of the second movement, and the playfulness of the third movement.

Idyll

Eggar, K

Katherine Eggar was an English pianist and composer, born in 1874 in London, England. Eggar was an active member of the feminist movement and at the inaugural meeting of the Society of Women Musicians, Eggar stated, The conventions of music must be challenged. Women are already challenging conventions in all kinds of ways We believe in a great future for women composers. Her Idyll for Flute and Piano was composed in 1910.

Alexandre Eisenberg s 'Arquichorinho', written for the Brazilian National Flute Competition in 1997, is an incredibly charming, colorful moto perpetuo. With rapidly shifting rhythms and time signatures, and vivid, playful interplay between the flute and piano, 'Arquichorinho' combines the best of the Brazilian choro and the best of the agility possible with the Western concert flute. Appropriate, especially, as a tongue-in-cheek encore.

For the advanced player.
