The composer states that his intention was to look back towards the French wind school epitomized by Poulenc, that quintessential melodist. Maslanka clearly loves melody, too, and this work is mildly redolent of the French master, although I think it owes more to Ibert than Poulenc. Its harmony actually sounds as much American to me as it does French, and its opening movements of quiet undulating arpeggios and lullaby morph into boisterous good humor and enthusiasm by the conclusion of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - David DeBoor Canfield; FANFARE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor advanced players.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carl Fischer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46966452486438,"sku":"798408096625","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/C000798408096625_d.jpg?v=1697476069","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/maslanka-d-quintet-no-4","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
