Sonata Opus 11B (Flute and Piano)

Sonata Opus 11B (Flute and Piano) By Asger Lund Christiansen, Arranged by Toke Lund Christiansen, Published by Edition Svitzer (2012)

This Sonata for flute and piano, opus 11B, was written by Asger Lund Christiansen in July, 1982 and was dedicated to the great master Jean Pierre Rampal. The sonata was first performed (1982) by Rampal and Russian/ Danish pianist Nina Kavtaradze in Aarhus Musikhus. Initially the three movements were composed as a trio-version (opus 11A) written for Toke Lund Christiansen, flute, and Philharmonisches Duo Berlin, Jörg Baumann, cello and Klaus Stoll, double bass. Nevertheless, the composer came to prefer, without doubt, the present flute and piano version.

Duration: 14 minutes.
