Gubaidulina, S :: allegro rustico | klange des waldes [allegro rustico | sounds of the forest]
In spite of the fact that these two pieces for flute and piano by Sofia Gubaidulina were published at the same time, they hardly have any connections in musical style and language. Both pieces were composed during the years when Gubaidulina lived and worked in the Soviet Union with very few contacts with the West. Allegro Rustico is written in a kind of 'post-Shostakovich' style, with an energetic, rhythmical piano part which vitalizes the expressive flute.
'Sounds of the forest is written in a style rather close to that of the two other famous Moscow composer of that time, Edison Denisov and Alfred Schnittke- style where the composers use a musical language well-known to the listener but in a totally new way. The beginning of Sounds of the forest is what might be called a pastoral feast, with links to the flute concertos of Vivaldi as well as to the flute solo in Beethoven’s 6th Symphony.'
