“Andr
é Jolivet
(1905-1974) established
his love for composition
from a young age. This
remained throughout his
life, and he held the
post of Professor of
Composition from
1966-1970 at the Paris
Conservatoire. Caprice
Fantasy for Flute and
Piano was published in
1954, and remains highly
regarded. Jolivet,
himself a cellist, wished
to explore composition
for all instruments, and
therefore has a
considerable number of
works in all fields. The
composer's style is also
known for its
spirituality, and the
desire to associate the
everyday with the
magical, and the human
with the universal.
Jolivet draws on
acoustics and atonality,
as heard in his Caprice
Fantasy. The piece
requires advanced skills
due to its use of complex
rhythms and exploited
tonality. For all
advanced flautists,
Jolivet provides an
exciting, alternative
piece for the
instrument's
repertoire.&rdquo.
