SOLO FLÛTE Takemitsu • Varèse • Berio, Mortensen • Arseneault • Reich Claire Marchand - flute ACD2 2175 20th Century works for solo flute. The Sonata for flute alone op. 6 by the Norwegian composer Finn Mortensen is in certain respects rather traditional, despite its Bartokian idiom. The first movement is set in a classical sonata form with a slow introduction; the second is a set of variations including a two-voice fugue in which the illusion of polyphony is created by alternating the registers of the flute; the finale is a rondo with a slow middle episode.
