Performance
Notes: Movement I: “Sonata: Allegro con brio”
This movement is the most “classical” of all of them and is
confined to traditional sonata form. Despite some deviation, the
concept is there nonetheless. Both the flautist and pianist should work
together to gain a cohesive sound. This movement should sound like a
romantic-period flute sonata movement.
Movement
II: “Lamentoso”
The flautist should be very cognizant of his or her tone.
This movement should be played sempre sostenuto e molto espress.
Vibrato is welcome here, but too much will ruin the effect of the
movement. It’s generally a simple piece and requires little dramatic
flair, except in the climax where the music modulates into B-flat
minor. Here both players should play with great passion and fire. The
drama is here and here only; milk it for all it's worth.
Movement III: “Scherzo: Adagio con
moto - Allegro con spirito” An atonal scherzo complete with
fugue and flutter tonguing. The flautist should be cautious that his or
her toughing does not slow down the pulse. Double tonguing is a must in
this movement. I wish the pianist luck on performing the atonal fugue.
Movement IV: “Rondo: Vivace con fuoco” The
Rondo theme is presented at the beginning in a dissonant march feel.
However, this does not last long as the movement morphs through various
styles and tempos providing contrast to the original theme. The second
half of the movement is in many ways a potpourri of musical quotes with
no sense of reason. Just as the two players try to reconcile, the
flautist again messes up the music. Here it is vital that the look of
the performance is just as good as it sounds. At 145, the flautist
should look to the pianist and cue the next passage as if it was
normal. However, it is very fast. The flautist should convey this in
his or her cue with the flute. It is meant to surprise the audience and
should look as if it surprised the pianist. Two bars later, the
flautist should conduct with his or her flute while playing. This may
be difficult to accomplish and may be omitted if need be. However, this
"acting" adds great humor to the piece and comic relief for the
audience who have already been(hopefully) laughing silently over the
musical quotes. The flautist and pianist should coordinate and rehearse
this section thoroughly to properly add this to the piece.
