Sonatina for Flute and Piano - Jan Novák
While composing his Sonatina for flute and piano in 1976 in Riva del Garda, Italy, Jan Novák’s concern was for beginning flutists.
The composition has the classical four-movement sonata form. Following a free cadenza of the first movement a contrasting rhythmical theme appears. The second movement written in the ABA form introduces a lyrical melody that evokes Moravian folklore music – a significant source of inspiration for Novák. In the third movement a contrast between the flute and the piano is set up: a simple flute melody is accompanied by rich rhythmical music in the piano. In the final part of the work, on the contrary, both instruments assume equal roles in the complex and effective rhythmical music of the last movement. Even though the Sonatina is well suitable for students and more advanced amateurs, it can just as well be performed in concert.
