The
solo flute here is kept
in high profile by the
absence from the
orchestra not only of
other flutes, but also of
violins and oboes; in
addition, the trumpets
are used sparingly (they
do not, for instance,
play in the slow
movement), so that for
much of the time the
flute is playing against
a mellow ensemble of
clarinets, horns,
bassoons and low strings.
If this is, nevertheless,
one of Davies's most
open-spirited pieces,
that comes partly from
the ready flights of the
soloist, partly from its
glockenspiel
accompaniments in the
outer movements (replaced
by ticking claves in the
Adagio), partly from the
dancing character of so
much of the music, and
partly from the harmonic
clarity, in a light
region not far from C
minor. Flute part with
piano reduction of the
orchestral score.
