Musikverlag Zimmerman Concert Piece op.3 - Andersen - Flute/Piano - Sheet Music

Composer: Joachim Andersen
Format: Sheet Music
Instrumentation: Flute and Piano

The virtuoso Concertstuck, Op. 3, is a masterfully written, large-scale work that Paul Taffanel selected as the required piece for the Paris Conservatorys concours of 1895. Taffanel had performed the work shortly after it was composed in the early 1880s and remained its enthusiastic admirer. In an age when many flutist-composers were writing only light-hearted theme-and-variation pieces and opera medleys, Andersen, in his Concertstuck, demonstrates his ability to create a substantial sonata-form composition that is harmonically, contrapuntally, and formally refined.
