About
Serenade Op. 41 is based on Beethoven’s Opus 25 for flute, violin and viola. However, the flute and piano version did not originate from the composer but was likely undertaken by the composer Franz Xaver Kleinheinz with Beethoven’s approval. It has been suggested that Beethoven looked through it and significantly improved some passages.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Beethoven was a renowned German composer and pianist of the Classical/Romantic era. Some of his best-known compositions include 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, 1 violin concerto, 32 piano sonatas, 16 string quartets, his great Mass the Missa Solemnis, and one opera, Fidelio. Â His music is extremely recognisable and highly respected as some of the greatest music ever written.

Jean-Pierre-Rampal-Flautist
Jean-Pierre Rampal (1922-2000) renowned French flautist toured internationally, recorded a vast array of works involving the flute and in later years, took up conducting.
Rampal won a place to study at the Paris Conservatoire and later founded the French Wind Quintet before becoming Principal Flute of the Paris Opéra (1956–62). In 1968 he took up the post of Flute Professor at the Paris Conservatoire.
He enhanced the status of the flute as a concert instrument through his vast number of recordings from Baroque masterpieces to jazz. He was particularly known for his authentic interpretations of 18th Century music and for his editing skills with the music of the Baroque period.
Rampal’s autobiography, ‘Music, My Love’, was published in 1989.
