Canzone for Flute and Piano (Op. 38)

Canzone for Flute and Piano (Op. 38)

By Barber Samuel

S. Barber: Canzone for Flute and Piano originally was written in 1958 as Elegy for Flute and dedicated to a friend, German art student and amateur flutist Manfred Ibel while spending summer together in Martha's Vineyard, an island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. In 1962, when Barber was commissioned a Piano concerto for the opening of Lincoln Center in New York, he adapted Elegy music material for the second movement Canzone of his Piano concerto. Nevertheless, this work had been published as Canzone (Elegy) for Flute and Piano (Op 38a) in 1962.

Barber Samuel

Samuel Barber (1910-1981) was an American composer who is mostly known for his Adagio for Strings (arranged from the slow movement of his String Quartet and later adapted as a choral work Agnus Dei in 1967 as well), Symphony in One Movement, Essay for Orchestra  and concertos. Due to his lyric expressivist style, Barber's music often is described as neo-Romantic.
