Could we be excused for not being great fans of Delius? What's your favorite, maybe we could find something.

Theobald Boehm
Grand Polonaise for Flute and Piano in D Major, Op. 16 Play
Recorded on 12/30/2016, uploaded on 06/12/2017
Musician's or Publisher's Notes
The polonaise is a dance of Polish origin in triple meter. Boehm was a German flute maker credited with creating the Western modern flute. In addition to being a revolutionary inventor, he was also a composer. This Romantic era work is reminiscent of the arias which were the cornerstones of opera, providing expressivity, musicality, and compositional technique. This piece opens with the Introduzione with slow tempo, streaming runs of notes, and great use of rubato allowing the flutist freedom to be highly expressive. The second section, the Polonaise, is in a fast triple meter that demonstrates the virtuosity of the flutist's technique and versatility. Notes by Donald Malpass
