{"product_id":"vine-c-pipe-dreams","title":"Vine, C :: Pipe Dreams","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarl Vine's concerto Pipe Dreams, here presented for the first time as a reduction for flute and piano, is a dazzling tonal showpiece commissioned for Emmanuel Pahud and the Australian Chamber Orchestra in 2003. A strong follow-up to Vine's popular Flute Sonata, Pipe Dreams is a worthwhile contender for best flute concerto of the 21st Century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer's note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'There is something innately human about cherishing one's deepest desires while knowing that they are impossible. Part of the model in this work is also the folly that a flute - the instrument itself - might harbor its own secret wishes. In a universe where all is possible, what might a flute dream?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work uses one of my preferred architectures: a single movement with three sections in the classic form moderate-slow-fast. Although the solo line is unashamedly virtuosic, the intention is not to dazzle but to explore as much dreaminess as possible, filtered through the willfulness of a metal pipe which believes it has no limits. There is no specific consideration in this music of the opium pipe, from which the term pipe dream originates.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Carl Vine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46965611462950,"sku":"0571568211","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/A000000571568211_d.jpg?v=1697465195","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/vine-c-pipe-dreams","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
