Page6 #7, Allegretto

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 6 Number 7, performed by David Summer. This piece is marked Allegretto, which is a moderately fast tempo between Allegro and Moderato. The term Allegretto is literally the diminutive form of word Allegro, meaning the tempo Allegretto is a little slower than Allegro. Notice the call and response form of this duet, the 2 beats of 16th notes, which goes back and forth between the 2 flutes. This continues until the end of each section when the 2 flutes play the 16th notes together. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 80.
