Sonatine for Flute and Piano
Sonatine for Flute and Piano
C. Arrieu Sonatine for Flute and Piano was written in 1943 and premiered, broadcast on the radio in 1944 by Jean-Pierre Rampal and pianist Herman Moyens.
Moyens was a mutual friend of Arrieu and Rampal. He was friends with Rampal from their childhood in Marseilles, and he worked at the Studio d’Essai during World War II. Most likely, the Sonatine was recorded in the spring and broadcast publicly after the liberation in August, since Arrieu was Jewish and none of her works appeared in radio broadcasts until August 1944. However, it’s known that Rampal was living in Paris only until May 1944, when he finished his studies at the Paris Conservatory. Then he returned to Marseille and devoted himself to medical studies.
Most likely that Moyens contacted Rampal in early spring, asking him to come into a studio in Paris one night to covertly record some works by Jewish or otherwise banned composers, including Schoenberg, Milhaud, and Hindemith.
Despite Arrieu’s proximity to composers of avant-garde and electronic music like Messiaen and Schaeffer, the style of the Sonatine resembles the light, melody-focused neo-classical style found in Arrieu’s other chamber and flute works.
“Typically French indulgence in three movements”
Jocelyn Aubrun
"This "French indulgence" presents itself in several different forms throughout the Sonatine, but the main signifiers are impressionist harmony and the importance of melody. The song-like melodies and fast articulated passages in the Sonatine also reflect the teachings of the French flute school and Rampal that emphasize vocality and detaché articulation. An examination of these musical elements also highlights the Sonatine’s suitability as a radio piece."

Arrieu Claude
Claude Arrieu (1903 - 1990) was a French composer, teacher, and music producer.
Born in Paris (original name: Louise-Marie Simon) to a family of composer Cécile-Paul Simon (her mother also published under male pseudonyms), she received her musical education from an early age.
She studied piano with Marguerite Long at the Conservatoire de Paris and composition with Paul Dukas, becoming a lasting friend of other students of his, including Olivier Messiaen, Tony Aubin, Elsa Barraine, and Yvonne Desporte.
After the graduation, she took a position teaching music theory and composition at the École Normale de Musique de Paris while continuing to compose. Among the most notable works of that period: the orchestra suite "Mascarades" and the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra.
From 1935 to 1947, she worked at the French Radio Broadcasting Program Service, first as a program editor and composer with Studio d’Essai director Pierre Schaeffer, then as Assistant Head of the radio’s music department under Henri Dutilleux.
From 1948, she was composing full-time time writing music in all styles, including works for theatre, film, and radio broadcasts.
Overal she composed 12 operas, instrumental concertos for piano, violin, flute and trumpet, symphonic works "Petite suite en cinq parties" (1945), "Concerto for wind quintet and strings" (1962), Suite funambulesque ("Tightrope Walker's Suite") (1961), and "Variations for classical strings" (1970), and numerous chamber music compositions.
