Par GAUBERT. Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was a distinguished performer on the Flute. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that his compositions for the instrument are at the forefront of the Flute's repertoire, his Sonatina being no exception. After a prominent career as a flautist with the Paris Opera, Gaubert was appointed as professor of Flute at the Paris Conservatoire as well as principal conductor of leading orchestras. It was during this time that Gaubert composed, including his Sonatina for Flute and Piano, which is made up of two movements, the second being a homage to Schumann. Addressing many technical features including flourishing semiquaver passages, a wide range, lyricism, intervals, chromaticism and complex rhythms, Sonatina is a challenging yet riveting and stirring piece for aspiring flautists./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Taffanel Paul (né à Bordeaux le 16 Septembre 1844, décédé à Paris le 21 Novembre 1908) a été flûtiste solo à l'Opéra de Paris Comique et professeur de flûte au Conservatoire de Paris. Parmi les élèves de sa classe ont été Gaubert Philippe et Marcel Moyse, le plus grand flûtistes français de leur génération. Il était peut-être la relation étroite à ses élèves qui, selon George Barr, étaient pour lui, sans exception, les fils musicaux 'qui rend Andante pastoral et Scherzettino se distingue parmi ses compositions. Dédié à son élève préféré et Philippe Gaubert composé dans les années de sa vie, son style n'est pas sans rappeler Fauré, qui pour sa part dédié sa fameuse dernière Fantasia Taffanel à son ami. Energique et richement colorés, le travail exige une interprétation subtile, notamment en matière de son et de technique. / Flûte Et Piano / 20 pages / niveau : Intermédiaire / Partition
