Jean Francaix Flute Concerto (1966)

My piece was premiered in 1994 in a concert at the University of Music Karlsruhe. It is a piece for flute using Pro-pro-Toto techniques accompanied by a violoncello, a combination presented for the first time. The atmosphere is full of grief, love and tears as it depicts the great loss of a beloved father. More information on my website, see:
