Description
This was written at the request of (and edited by) flautist Dr Robert David Billington,
who is playing it here on a Richard Hahn copy of a Heinrich Grenser flute from the late 1700s.
It is made from ebony.
It is played at A=415 hz which is the equivalent of Ab in modern pitch.
The work is in 4 movements in D major
(except the second movement which is in D harmonic minor)
with the sequence Slow-Fast-Slow-Fast
Each movement ends with the same tactus (close) for each movement.
It can also be played on a concert flute, but the best (authentic) effect will be on a baroque flute.
