Flautando (PB)

Contents
Flautando(2004) scored for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion is a one movement concertino for flute and chamber ensemble. The work starts with an introduction by the ensemble where the different instruments take turns in an alternating series of contrasting patterns. The permutated repetition of these patterns leads to the first bold statement of the flute. This virtuosic and highly ornamented statement is accompanied by rhythmically punctuated chords in the piano, percussion, and strings as well as by a more sustained and imitative line in the clarinet. This first statement by the flute is followed by a quasi return to the opening fragmentary statements in the ensemble. The opening five minutes of the piece described above serve as a prelude to the two other thirds of the piece which are structured as a theme and variations. After the flute introduces the theme, the ensemble takes turns with the soloist in articulating twenty-two variations to the theme. The music is pulsating and rhythmic throughout the entire piece.
