Chaminade - Concertino for Flute Op. 107 (Theme)
Sheet music for flute
| Info: | The Flute Concertino in D major, Op. 107, for flute and piano remains a standard and popular part of the flute repertoire. Among flautists, legend has it that Chaminade wrote the Concertino to punish a flute-playing lover after he left her to marry someone else, wanting to make a piece so fiendishly difficult that he could not play it. However, Chaminade had married a music publisher the year before the piece was commissioned, which lessens the validity of the legend. |

Chaminade was relegated to obscurity for the second half of the 20th century, her piano pieces and songs mostly forgotten, with the Flute Concertino in D major, Op. 107 her most popular piece today. |
