Scherzo for Flute and Guitar

From the Publisher

The one-movement, just under 6-minute compostion has an ABA structure. The main melodic thread in the form of little motifs is carried here by the flute; the guitar, on the other hand, provides a distinctive accompaniment; only at moments do the instruments dialogue with each other. In the middle section the flute initiates a quasi-lyrical - as the composer wrote- 'amusing secondary theme'; the guitar in turn complements it with a harmonic and rhythmic accompaniment. What dominates is the grotesque sarcasm, an Oriental melodic line in the flute part. Further along in the narrative there ensues an only somewhat modified A section.

Performance duration (approx): 6'
