French composer and conductor Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Concertino for Flute in 1946. As with his other wind compositions Concertino was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor and during the summer he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However in 1921 he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor.Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother into his compositions. Concertino for Flute and Piano Reduction is a highly unusual and modern work in three movements; 1) Cadence and Allegretto 2) Largo and 3) Finale. This Tomasi piece is suitable to advanced flautists providing an exciting alternative addition to the instrument's repertoire.

Cecile Chaminade's Concertino For Flute And Piano provides quite a workout for the flutist with its wide-ranging highly decorative solo part. A broad and graceful melody opens the work. After a more active central section marked Più animato agitato in the score a short oboe phrase leads into a cadenza for the soloist. A reprise of the opening melody and a rousing coda conclude this melodic and attractive work.
