Burleske for flute and piano Op. 11

Burleske for flute and piano Op. 11

By Kornauth Egon

Burleske for Flute and Piano Op. 11 was written in 1914 and was dedicated to Ary Van Leeuwen, solo flutist of the Vienna State Opera. The composition represents composer’s eclectic and late Romantic compositional style. It is articulated around a three-note structure, descending or ascending within the two main themes. These, descending chromatic chords in the piano part add an impressionistic flavour to this composition.

Kornauth Egon

Egon Kornauth (1891-1959) was an Austrian composer, pianist, and teacher. Born in Olomouc, Moravia, he studied music at the Wiener Akademie with Robert Fuchs and Franz Schreker, and at the University of Vienna with Guido Adler. After his studies, he taught music theory at Vienna University for 7 years before he went to Indonesia as a pianist, accompanist, and conductor in 1926. Three years later he came back to Austria but then continued his travel and musical explorations in South America for two years. In 1940 he took a teaching position in Vienna and Salzburg. For two years he led the Mozarteum University in Salzburg and later was elected to the Austrian Arts Senate. Kornauth is mostly known for his piano, vocal, and chamber music.
