Borne François
François Borne (1840-1920) was a French flutist and composer. He was a solo flutist of the Bordeaux Symphony and Professor at Toulouse Conservatory. Due to Boehm's inventions, many composers took advantage of now fully chromatic instrument to showcase new possibilities of the flute.
The Fantasie Brilliante was one of the fantasies composed at the second part of the 19th century and greatly contributed to the flute repertoire.
