Flauto Oscuro
$5.00
Flauto Oscuro, for c-flute or alto flute, is a virtuosic “trio for a solo instrument” requiring control to clearly balance and articulate all of the parts with one single-line instrument.
Description
The form of Flauto Oscuro is simple and clear: slow-fast. The opening slow section introduces the two main themes: the first expressive and haunting; the second warm and sensual. The second faster section is reminiscent of Baroque single line solo music where registral separation creates the impression of a two-part melody, a return of the two opening themes, with a trilled accompaniment in the middle. The result is a virtuosic “trio for a solo instrument” requiring control to clearly balance and articulate all of the parts with one single-line instrument. While challenging in its upper register, this piece works wonderfully on alto flute. For more info about this work click here.
