Sonatine for flute and piano

Sonatine for flute and piano

By Milhaud Darius

D. Milhaud: Sonatine for flute and piano was written in 1922 and dedicated to Louis Fleury who premiered it with pianist Jean Wiéner in Paris in 1923. The composition was perceived as avant-garde since it's classical format included innovative jazz elements. This jazz influence came from Milhaud's first visit to the USA in 1922 when he heard jazz music on the streets of Harlem. That experience had influenced not only the Sonatine for flute but his ballet La création du monde as well.

Milhaud Darius

Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a French composer, pianist, violinist, violist and conductor, the member of Les Six, the group of five French (D. Milhaud, F. Poulenc, G. Auric, L. Durey, G. Tailleferre) and one Swiss (A. Honegger) composers who lived and worked in Montparnasse in the early 1920s and which musical style is seen as a reaction against the impressionist music of C. Debussy and M. Ravel.
As a conductor he led the premiere of Arnold Schoenberg's "Pierrot lunaire" and as a violist he premiered Debussy's Sonate for flute, viola and harp. During World War II he exiled to US, teaching at the Mills College in Oakland where one of his most famous students were jazz pianist Dave Brubeck.
