Sonata for Flute and Piano, by Matthew R. Durrant. In three movements: Maestoso, Espressivo, and Vivace con fuoco.

From the composer: “Completed in January of 2020, this sonata is a wonderful showpiece for both the flute and the piano. Each movement is unique and showcases a different style of writing and harmonic language. The opening movement is majestic in tone and explores both lyricism and virtuosity, setting the tone for what is to follow. The inner movement is a hauntingly beautiful song that features soaring modal melodies and intricate contrapuntal lines. Closing the sonata is a tour de force whirlwind of a finale that showcases stunning virtuosity in both the flute and piano."
