Trio brillant et facile for Three Flutes, Op. 3

The music of Eugene Walckiers has a distinctive charm and this delightful trio is no exception. The opening Allegro non troppo has a gently restless quality and never quite settles. The central Adagio, a wistful E minor Andante, provides a poignant contrast while the closing Allegro vivo is full of energy and drive. The third flute complements the upper voices, enriching the texture by interacting with the non-melodic parts. The result showcases Walckiers' tuneful elegance and he never disappoints!
