Page33 #4, Contrefeseur

from Selected Duets for Flute Podcast · host David Summer

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 33 Number 4, performed by David Summer. The title of this duet, "Contrefeseur" translates into English as "the imitator" or "the mimic". As with the first duet in this section of the book, Le Tourbillon, this duet lives up to its name. The flute 2 part imitates the flute 1 line at the beginning of both sections of the duet and again in the last line. This imitation, at a lively pace, can prove challenging for a student. The metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 69.
