专辑简介

This beautiful four-minute gem from the early twentieth century is a favorite at solo and ensemble festivals. Rated Level G by the National Flute Association, it is a perfect introduction to French repertoire for intermediate students before they study more difficult pieces such as the Fantasie by Gabriel Fauré and Cantabile and Presto by Georges Enesco. It is published in several collections, including Himie Voxman’s Concert and Contest Collection, and available in several editions and as a free download at imslp.org.
