Selected Duets for Flute, Page 34 Number 1, performed by David Summer.
This section of the Selected Duets book contains four duets by Kummer. Kaspar Kummer (1795-1870) wrote many pieces for woodwinds, including several chamber pieces for flute. This piece is a very pretty and understated duet.
The tempo marking "Andante con moto" translates to "at a walking pace with motion". I interpret that to mean "not too fast, but keep moving". This duet presents a good opportunity for the teacher to talk about legato playing, since much of the duet is in a legato style.
The repeat is omitted, and the metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 88. |
