Description

This pre loved piece in music is in good condition. The cover shows some signs of wear due it’s age but it’s been well looked after. There are some light pencil markings inside but in no way effects the legibility of the music.

Composed in 1922 and premiered in Paris in early 1923, Milhaud’s Sonatine for Flute and Piano reflects his early 20th-century style—lyrical, rhythmically supple, and harmonically fresh. Dedicated to Louis Fleury and Jean Wiéner, the work unfolds in three concise movements: Tendre, Souple, and Clair, each offering a distinct mood and character. The flute part is expressive yet accessible, making it a favorite among intermediate to advanced players seeking repertoire beyond the standard Romantic canon.

This edition, published by Durand, features clean engraving typical of the period and remains a valuable piece for performers and collectors alike. Ideal for recital programming or historical study, it captures Milhaud’s unique voice within the French modernist tradition.
