The

for purchase is the solo
flute part and piano
reduction for John La
Montaine's Concerto for
Flute. Premiered on April
12, 1981 by Keith Bryan
and the National Gallery
Orchestra, John La
Montaine's Concerto for
Flute and Orchestra is
best summed up in this
review from Paul Hume at
The Washington Post: The
world premiere of a flute
concerto by John La
Montaine was the
centerpiece. La Montaine
clearly had a great time
writing the concerto,
since he filled it with
wit and open, songful
beauty. The formal design
is neatly broken up into
imaginative divisions.
There are some exotic
touches for woodblocks,
and bass clarinet, but
the heart of the work
lies in the brilliance of
the writing for the
soloist. The cadenza in
the final movement is
impressively introduced
and beautifully
concluded..
