About this work:
Don Freund: Spur of the Moment for flute and piano
Spur of the Moment was composed in the fall or 2003 for flute virtuoso and long-time new music angel Kathryn Lukas. This 10-minute work has the structural feel of theme-and-variations, but the forms and sound-shapes of the “variations” are more driven by their own character and impetus than by any recognizable references to the “theme.” The (occasionally whimsical) sub-titles of the successive sections should give the listener a helpful guide through the piece: Theme / Trills & Tuckutucks / Theme in Bass / Toccatina / Pipes & Bells / Tarantella Light / Reprise.
Year composed: 2003
