Three pieces for flute solo
O. Ferroud: Three Pieces for Solo Flute was written in 1921 by great influence of Ferroud's teacher, impressionist composer Florent Schmitt. The composition consists of three parts written in a quasi-Chinese style. As for the third part, Ferroud wrote: "The Toan-Yan holiday (or the day of Double Five) is celebrated in China on the fifth day of the fifth month - hence its name - and it is dedicated to commemorate a certain hero who flung himself into a body of water and drowned rather than submited to military dishonor. The solemnity of the holiday gives way in turn to mystical and fervid dances which symbolize the contrast between peace and war."

Pierre-Octave Ferroud (1900-1936) was a French composer and music critic. After his initial studies with F. Schmitt in Lyon, Ferroud moved to Paris, gaining success and acknowledgement (for his Symphony in A) by many prominent composers at that time: S. Prokofiev, I. Stravinsky and F. Poulenc.
Besides composing Ferroud regularly wrote reviews for Paris newspaper Paris-Soir. Ferroud tragically died in a road accident while walking on the street in Debrecen (Hungary). Sudden and violent death of Ferroud, reawakened religious faith and new-found seriousness in his friend F. Poulenc who dedicated some of his later works (Litanies à la Vierge noire for female voices and organ; Mass in G for soprano and mixed choir a capella) to P. Ferroud.
