Allegretto for flute and piano by Jozef Swider is a work of a great artistic value that comprises a perfect didactic material, filling a gap in the Polish flute literature. Allegretto for flute and piano is a one-part composition of an ABA1 structure with a cadenza. A four-bar piano introduction developsinto the flute part intoning a dance and folk-style melody, which becomes fragmented in terms of rhythm and densified in its facture. The dialogue between the flute and the piano involves mutual motif complementation. The melody gathers momentum (numerous ascending and descending progressions, undulations, typical ties, trills), a dynamic gradation develops into the middle, more peaceful and cantilena-style, part. The culmination, initially outlined by the flute and continued by the piano, leads to the cadenza characterised by considerable performative freedom across motifs in parts A and B, exhibiting the colour and sound values ofthe instrument. The link A1 comprises a quasi-variation development of the first passage of the work; it is the most dynamic,energetic and diversified in terms of the applied sound registers (characteristic alloctava marking), articulation and agogics. Themarking piu vivo in bar 136, combined with irregular metric divisions and shifts in accents, intensified dynamics and expression adds spontaneity, ultimately leading to the work's finale. The application of the minor mode, the economy of expressive means and a changeable course of narration reflect introvert characteristics of the composer a man of outstanding humbleness and modesty, at the same time full of unrest, self-criticism and little faith towards himself, which is confirmed by recently found notes of his.

“Cellist, conductor, composer and musicologist, René Berthelot (1903-1999) was influential in leading the Orleans Conservatory to obtain a high profile reputation. His Pastorale and Rustic Dance for Flute and Piano contributes to a significant catalogue of compositions by the composer. Published in 1976, a typical performance of Pastoral and Rustic Dance lasts around 5 minutes and 45 seconds. Characteristics include, complex rhythms, variation in time signatures and much contrast between the two movements. suitable for advanced flautists, Berthelot's Pastoral and Rustic Dances also provides alternative scorings for more difficult passages. For all advanced flautists, this Berthelot provides an exciting, alternative performance work.&rdquo.
