There are still little unknown gems to be found by even the greatest and most famous names in music history. This charming short duo in two movements will delight flautists: Neither flute part is technically very demanding andit is therefore well-suited as easy teaching material. The dedication ?for friend Degenharth? (a lawyer amongst Beethoven?s close circle of friends) leaves open whether it was commissioned or a gift. The work was notpublished during Beethoven?s lifetime but the autograph has survived. This edition follows the musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition and offers Urtext in customary Henle quality.
