Duo for flute and piano

Duo for flute and piano

By Copland Aaron

A. Copland: Duo for Flute and Piano was written in 1971 as part of three works for flute and various other instruments. The Duo was commissioned as dedication to William Kincaid, the former Principal Flute of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The overall pastoral style of Duo represents Copland's "Americana" style where he captures sounds of authentic America.

Copland Aaron

Aaron Copland (1900-1990) was an American composer, often called "the Dean of American Composers". Among his most important compositions: ballets Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid and Rodeo, works for orchestra Fanfare for the Common Man and the Third Symphony.
He studied composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, and his musical style was influenced by I. Stravinsky and P. Boulez. Copland's style of music has been summed up as "modern consciousness of American ideals, character and sense of place", making his music interesting not only to musicians but historians as well.
