Canzone for Flute and Piano
Edward P. Mascari
About this work:
Canzone for Flute and Piano is a short instrumental piece with a song-like character. It is in ABA form with the contrasting middle section marked "Grave" i.e. solemn to create a elegiac mood. The piece features imitative writing, and the language is tonal with some jazz-influenced harmonies. In addition, the flute part enhances the mood of the piece by including trills and the colorful effect of the fluttertounge technique.
