From the Publisher
This work, written in three movements in 1985 while the composer was a student at Julliard, remains one of his most popular chamber works. The first movement is in a traditional sonata allegro form that incorporates a jazzy theme. The second theme features a broadly expressive introduction and coda framing a strophic melody in the flute supported by a pulsing neo-baroque accompaniment. The final movement marked presto/adagio alternates between a rapidly virtuosic first theme and a beautiful lyrical theme. A great piece for flute recitals!
