Henri Dutilleux is mostly known for his dark, esoteric orchestral works. However, flutists know his Sonatine for flute and piano as one of the great Paris Conservatory test pieces of the 20th century, but Dutilleux notoriously did not share our admiration for his composition. In an interview with author Claude Glayman in 1977, he had this to say regarding the Sonatine: “I had written… some pieces commissioned by Claude Delvincourt, then the director of the Conservatorie. He had a double aim: to make young composers explore instrumental technique and, at the same time, to force instrumental students to work on new scores, which Delvincourt wanted to be full of traps and technical difficulties. The flute piece is the Sonatine for flute and piano, which has been recorded many times abroad, although I have never wanted it to be recorded in France because it doesn’t yet sound really like my music. But I haven’t put any embargo on that.” Regardless of Dutilleux’s retrospective feelings, the Sonatine has entered the canon of great compositions for the flute. The modally-colored yet mostly tonal harmonic language may not reach the maturity of his later works, but the virtuosic technical demands and sweeping melodies have legitimized the piece as part of the standard repertoire.
Absolutely stunning performance!!
Nice.
You do have an incredibly beautiful sound, and it makes your pitch nice and right on. It's a great piece for you. Thanks for posting.
Great intonation and clarity and a lovely fluid performance (also top marks for the pianist).
Great work by Dutilleux. Exquisite performance and sound! Congratulation!
Hello,

Best wishes !

What an incredibly "smooth" flute sound. Just gorgeous. The pianist also did a "lovely" job. I am playing this with Pamela Whitman in a few weeks at the Ocean City Community center and we simply look forward to doing this piece.
bro when are you dropping the next vid?
Wow, stunning!
I love your sound. My major is flute, and I want to learn a little sound. I heard a good performance. I am your fan.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Did you study with Brad Garner?
Great performance. My only comment is to continue to strive for an even darker sound on your lower register. Technically and tone wise you exhibit excellence! Bravo! Your pianist was very fine also although I believe she could have used a "wetter pedal" especially in the slower parts with low bass octaves to create a "veiled" effect.
Good!!
Great performers!
In my opinion the piece is nothing extraordinary. Well written for the instrument bu rather unimaginative. It's a Prokofiev -Katchaturian-Ibert wannabe.
