Bernhard Heiden was born in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany and became interested in music at the age of five, and a year later composed his first pieces. He was admitted to the Hochschule for Musik in Berlin in 1929 to study composition under Paul Hindemith. Strongly influenced by Hindemith's devotion to craft, Heiden's music is described by Nicolas Slonimsky as 'neoclassical in formal structure, and strongly polyphonic in texture; it is distinguished by its impeccable formal balance and effective instrumentation.'

The Terzetto, for two flutes and cello, has a particular lyric feeling that pulls listeners along. In four movements, it adheres somewhat closely to conservative 20th century ideals, slipping unrelated keys past each other but retaining strong tonal centers.

Duration: 12'. Full score only; separate parts not available. For advanced players.
