| Pierne: Canzonetta: Flute: Instrumental WorkGabriel Pierné (1863-1937) was a French composer conductor and organist. Despite being predominantly remembered as a conductor his Canzonetta arranged for Flute and Piano by André Petiot remains a recognised piece in the repertoire. Pierné studied at the Paris Conservatoire before taking up the position of chief conductor for the concert series Concerts Colonne in 1910. He remained in the post until 1933 and during this time he notably conducted the world premiere of Igor Stravinsky's 'The Firebird'. Pierné composed for a variety of instruments. Canzonetta originally composer for Clarinet with Piano accompaniment is one of four solo works by the composer. This Pierné piece arranged for Flute contains many characteristics typical of the French style such as lyrical melodies a significant number of performance directions flourishes of semiquavers chromaticism and many changes in dynamics. Canzonetta is a varied piece essential to the repertoire of aspiring flautists.
