Alphonse Leduc Chanson Et Badinerie For Flute And Piano

Alphonse Leduc

Chanson Et Badinerie

For Flute And Piano

Composer Pierre Camus (1885 1948) Is Little Known Today. However, His Chanson And Badinerie Is A Sublime Addition To The Flute's Repertoire And Proves To Be An Exciting, Yet Challenging Piece For Performers. Camus' Piece For Flute And Piano Accompaniment Is In Two Movements. Chanson (Song) Is Composed In 6/8 Meter And Reflects French Romantic Characteristics In Its Use Of Lyrical Melodies, Use Of The Lower Register Of The Flute, And Chromaticism. The Badinerie Contrasts With This With A Faster Tempo, 2/4 Meter, Chordal Piano Accompaniment And Scalic Semiquaver Flourishes. All Of These Elements Combine In Camus' Chanson And Badinerie To Make For An Exciting Addition To Theadvanced Flautist's Repertoire.
