Two Pieces for Flute and Piano

Description

Flute, Piano — The “Nocturne” and “Dance” were written sequentially, but apparently as two separate pieces, during the summer of 1928, while Bennett was living in Paris with his wife and daughter,continuing his private studies with Boulanger. Bennett and flutist Quinto Maganini together gave a private premiere for friends soon thereafter, quite likely at Boulanger’s house.
