Originally written for treble recorder, this has often been set for exams, and is very popular with adult amateurs. The piano starts the first movement with an aggressive chord, so we have to be careful not to play too passionately! Think of a recorder sound when playing the beautiful slow movement. When I performed it with the composer, it sounded wonderful on the wooden flute.
