Copland Duo for Flute and Piano
Copland Duo for Flute and Piano
Publisher-Boosey and Hawkes
Official Programme Note
This work was commissioned by seventy pupils and friends of the celebrated flautist William Kincaid after his death in 1967. Copland described it as lyrical and in a pastoral style. “Lyricism seems to be built into the flute,” he wrote. ‘Duo’ is in three movements.
“The whole is a work of comparatively simple harmonic and melodic outline, direct in expression. Being aware that many of the flautists who were responsible for commissioning the piece would want to play it, I tried to make it grateful for the performer…it requires a good player.”
The piece has become a standard in the repertoire of flautists worldwide and is also available in a version for violin and piano.
