The music is in the key of G major and the total duration is 2 minutes. This music was written as a self-accompanied work, as such the underlying harmonic structure is built into the melody. Some other distinctive features include an abundance of chromatic notes, changes in tempo such as rubato and accelerando, and dramatic fermata.

A member of the woodwind family, the flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrument. This class of instruments produce sound from the flow of air across an opening. A musician who plays the flute can be referred to as a flute player, a flautist, a flutist or less commonly a fluter. The earliest printed use of the word flute in the Engish language was in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Hous of Fame", ca. 1384. Aside from the voice, archeology tells us that the flute is the earliest musical instrument. A number of such instruments have found in the Swabian Alb region of Germany, some dating as far back as 35,000 - 43,000 years ago. The recorder is a woodwind instrument and member of the family known as fipple flutes or internal duct flutes. The fipple or block is a wooden plug found at the mouth of the instrument. This plug constricts the air as the player blows into the end of the instrument. There are holes for seven fingers, with the lower one or two often doubled to facilitate the production of semi-tones. There is also a hole for the thumb of the uppermost hand. This free sheet music is for solo flute. | |||||
