This piece was originally written for Violin and Piano and if the 'New World' Symphony and the 'American' String Quartet are the best-known products of Anton n Dvorak's years in the United States the little Sonatina in G major(sometimes called the 'Indian Lament' Sonatina) may well be the most obscure; yet it is a charming work that deserves better than its relegation to the learning books of young violinists. The Sonatina is in four movements:Allegro risoluto Larghetto Scherzo (molto vivace) and Allegro. The first movement's principal tune has a firm rhythmic spine its second tune a gentle plaintiveness; there is just a hint of Americanfolk music in the movement.The following Larghetto earned the Sonatina its nickname. The succession of its three melodies - one in G minor one in B flat major and one in G major - has to it the same wistfulness and thesame sudden brightening and then softening of mood that we hear in the famous slow movement of the 'New World' Symphony.The Scherzo takes the very first gesture of the Allegro risoluto as its starting-point. The finale isa substantial sonata-allegro movement with three wonderful themes: the opening syncopated idea in G major a subsidiary thought in E minor very dancelike and built around a repeating marcato cell and finally a rich tranquillomelody that closes the exposition. This adaptation for Flute and Piano by James Galway conveys all the spirit of the original.

Par BACRI NICOLAS. Trois rêveries opus 111 n°2 propose trois exercices de style (Debussy, Ireland et Grieg) et Petite suite opus 111 n°3 est composée de cinq brefs morceaux dont les quatre premiers existent pour piano seul aux éditions Billaudot ; le cinquième, Humoresque, fut ajouté en 2015 à la demande de Frédéric Chatoux, directeur de la collection consacrée à la flûte, pour clore le cycle, de façon espiègle en rendant hommage aux facéties des chats que j?avais adoptés lorsque je vécus à la campagne, dans le Brabant Wallon. Toutes ces pièces forment un tout cher à mon c?ur, car elles illustrent les premiers pas déjà très assurés dans l?écriture tonale et modale pour un compositeur de quinze-seize ans. Elles font déjà une place au lyrisme et au contrepoint de manière assez exigeante et je les ai remises de nombreuses fois sur le métier afin d?en affiner le plus possible l?écriture. Je suis heureux et honoré que la première de ma Petite Suite ait eu lieu à Bangkok par deux musiciens professionnels. C?est la première fois qu?une création mondiale de ma musique a lieu dans ce pays, qui, comme tous les pays d?Asie, semble se polariser de plus en plus sur la musique classique occidentale.

Aztec Dances was commissioned by Christopher Orton with the assistance of the BBC Performing Arts Fund. The first performance was given by Christopher Orton (recorder) and Magdalena Nasidlak (piano) at a concert in the Manchester Midday Concerts series at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester in March 2010.The version for flute and piano was premiered by Wissam Boustany (Flute) and Aleksander Szram (Piano) at St James?s Church Piccadilly on Thursday 19 May 2011.1. Ritual/Pastorale2. Fertility Dance3. Ghost Dance/Song4. Sacrificial Dance Composer's Note The idea for the genesis of thiswork and indeed its title and individual movements came after visiting an exhibition at the British Museum entitled Moctezuma ?Aztec Ruler. The exhibition traced the events following the election in 1502 of Moctezuma as Supreme Ruler of the Aztecs and the subsequent invasion of 1519 by a Spanish expedition led by Hermán Cortés ? an event that was to eventually lead to the demise of the Aztec civilisation.Part of the exhibition explored the role that music and dance played in Aztec life. The primitive recorder together with trumpets and drums were used as an important part of the formal ritual ceremonies (including rather gruesomely human sacrifice) that took place to appease the many Gods which the Aztecs worshipped as well as for other more informal occasions in their social and cultural life.I have tried to reflect some of these highly contrasting and dramatic ideas in this four movement work.        Edward Gregson
