Furrer, B :: Melodie
Barenreiter presents 'melodie' for flute solo by composer Beat Furrer.
'melodie' was commissioned for the ARD Music Competition as the compulsory piece for the semifinals in 2022. It is a virtuoso piece and demands the full spectrum of playing technique and expression from the flautist. A variety of special playing techniques poses particular challenges, such as abstract sounds, changes in air flow, different vocal colorations, extreme registers, and multiphonics. The work is notated in two independent systems, one for articulation and one for fingerings. After a beginning of abstract sounds, the tone pitches become more and more defined. A section of fast, nervous figures is followed by a long, quarter tone coloured melody, which gave the piece its name and which is heard about halfway through he approximately eight minute piece.
