Jind ich Feld's Quatre Pièces for Flute is performed by virtuoso flautists. Published in 1964 the Quatre Pièces are challenging elaborate and quirky yet thrilling and inspiring.

His compositions predominantly instrumental soon became popular being performed all over the world. As reflected in his Quatre Pièces for solo Flute Feld's style is deeply rooted in the Czech musicaltradition but he also integrated the main styles of 20th century Western music. The Quatre Pièces are named 1. Meditation 2. Caprice 3. Interlude (Hommage to Bartok) and 4. Burlesque. Each piece of the Quatre Pièces present different challenges from fast semiquaver flourishes to the sultry lower register of the Flute.
