Ballade Frank Martin

Swiss composer Frank Martin composed six ballades for different solo instruments--saxophone, flute, trombone, piano, cello, and viola--and orchestra. Each ballade is a one-movement work in several sections. Martin's goal is to capture the most characteristic features of the solo instrument. The flute Ballade is recognized as one of the finest compositions for wind instrument and orchestra.  K. DeJongh
