Suite for flute and piano (Op 34)
C. Widor: Suite for flute and piano (Op 34) was written in 1877 and is regarded as late Romantic work. The Suite was dedicated to Paul Taffanel who premiered it only seven years later, in 1884.

Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) was a French composer, organist and teacher, mostly known as a composer of organ symphonies. At the age of 25 he was appointed as organist of Saint-Sulpice church in Paris, the most prominent position for organist in France, which he held for almost 64 years.
While teaching organ and composition at the Paris Conservatoire, he greatly influenced many composers and organists, as well as his student and later collaborator Albert Schweitzer, great polymath, philosopher, and the most famous advocate of J.S.Bach.
