Ballade for Flute and Piano, Op37

If you have ever wished that the likes of Brahms had written something for the flute you may enjoy this beautiful piece. It's proper passionate 'heart-on-your-sleeve' Romantic music!  The dramatic opening E minor melody is made even more dark and brooding by the octave accompaniment. The following Piu Allegro develops into a cadenza passage and this is turn leads into a C major Adagio. which is full of chromaticism. The opening melody then returns and the music then comes to a seemingly tragic end. If you have a good pianist this is a wonderful piece which will fit very well into any balanced programme. Who needs Brahms anyway?!
