Postkarten [Postcards]

Universal Editions presents composer Tilmann Dehnhard's Postkarten, or Postcards, for flute alone. For those who claim writing postcards is no longer in keeping with the times in our digital world will be wrong with this publication. Dynamic, enthusiastic, rapturous, dancing - is the focus of these 14 short pieces for solo flute. The idea came from a composition commissioned by Wally Hase to the Berlin flutist, who wrote this series during the pandemic. One can send the musical greetings all at once, vary them in order, or even rearrange the order. A performance between several players could be interesting. Modern playing techniques, dynamic contrasts or rhythmic surprises turn the character pieces into combinations rich in contrasts, which are not only effectively convincing on stage, but can also be impressive competition entries.
