Ibert, J - Piece pour Flute Seule (New Edition)

Description:

Composed in 1936 by Jacques Ibert (1890-1962), a neoclassical composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1919, Piece for Solo Flute was premiered by Marcel Moyse. This publication was written in three movements in two contrasting themes. The first theme is a slow lyrical melody compared to the second one which is much faster. The third movement of Piece for Solo Flute brings back the first theme again but with more ornamentation this time.

Description

Anti-dogmatic and open to modernity in all its forms, in the course of his career, Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) embraced every genre, from chamber music to symphonic and choreographic works, also composing many film scores. In 1935, his Piece for solo flute was recorded, in its first version, by the famous flautist Marcel Moyse, who also performed it live for the first time in Prague in 1936.
