Percées dans le grave
Flute duets from the classical period
[vc_separator type=’transparent’ position=’left’ color=” thickness=’5′ up=” down=”]
Works by W. F. Bach and Kuhlau
Alexa Raine-Wright and Francis Colpron, trversos
The traverso, intimate and sensitive, enjoyed great popularity in the 18th century. Some criticized its imprecise tuning and unequal sonorities, but composers knew how to cleverly take advantage of these ‘defects’… Flute-making technique evolved continually. By the middle of the century, traversos had keys that served to increase the volume and clarity of their low notes, thus enabling flutists to hold their own when accompanied. The most ambitious works written for traverso were, without a doubt, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach’s Six Duets for Two Flutes; in their complexity and near-Romantic ferocity of expression they are astonishing.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_empty_space][icon_text box_type=”normal” icon=”fa-calendar” icon_type=”normal” icon_position=”left_from_title” icon_size=”fa-lg” use_custom_icon_size=”no” title_tag=”h5″ separator=”no” separator_top_margin=”0″ separator_bottom_margin=”0″ title=”Thursday February 24 2022, 7:30 p.m” icon_color=”#7d9dce”][qode_advanced_pricing_list pricing_items=”%5B%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Regular%22%2C%22item_price%22%3A%2240%24%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Senior%22%2C%22item_price%22%3A%2235%24%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%2230%20%20years%20and%20younger%22%2C%22item_price%22%3A%2215%24%22%7D%5D” list_title_tag=”h5″ line_style=”dashed” item_title_tag=”p” list_title=”Billetterie” line_color=”#000000″][vc_column_text]
