During the 1940s I was often involved with musical activities at Morley College where Walter Bergmann was the choir's accompanist. He was a keen recorder player and often asked me (then in my twenties) to write something for him. I must have obliged with this suite, although I have now absolutely no recollection of writing it. Amazingly the manuscript turned up many years later in, of all places, the musical library of Sir Thomas Beecham. Why and how I shall never know! Antony Hopkins (2012) / Flûte A Bec Et Piano
