I've never heard of this awesome piece, let alone the composer. The french horn, flute and piano go together very well.

[@alexandergoodhart398]

It’s like classic dreamscape cinema sound, who woulda thought the simple trio could be so lush.

[@creativepuppetry1366]

Me neither, this is my first time hearing it and I'm already in love with it.

[@franciscopineda2594]

@@creativepuppetry1366 just like me. Outstanding

The previous month, we had a challenge with Forest theme... Damn, if I knew that piece, even if I never copy on pieces, it was very inspirational and it stays quite fresh in the harmonic research.

I heard a student performance of this piece at Juilliard, over 40 years ago. I had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me what a pleasure it is! - and these are excellent performers.

[@AndromedaCripps]

The pianist here is phenomenal. Every voice rings out clearly and separately. Astounding!

[@seabassa.m.665]

There are two parts of me fighting right now. The composer that loves this and finds is beautiful and interesting, and the horn player that hopes to never find this on my music stand lol

[@entertainer9076]

Lmao

Even worse than cellists and Pachelbel lol

[@r4_in_space]

Same here for flutists. It's not hard until all the quintuplets and septuplets (if that's how they're spelled) start to appear. Not to mention the very high notes and that high trill somewhere before the 100th measure. And the very l o n g trill somewhere before the 200th measure.

[@seabassa.m.665]

@@r4_in_space see we have two different issues however, my problem is that omg the part will put me to sleep

[@fatousourang-composer]

Thank you for sharing such beautiful music!!! I didn't know Mel Bonis, but now, thanks to you, I know her and I can appreciate her wonderful music!
Thank you Cmaj7!!!

[@_rstcm]

Thanks for introducing me to such a criminally underappreciated composer.

[@KBC7050]

what a beautiful piece! i love the contrast between the repeating sections and the sudden changes in tonality

[@amokopera]

Just wonderful. A composer I'd never heard of. Thanks for the link.

[@gloomforged]

Lovely little piece. Was looking for more repertoire like this 30 years ago.

[@AC-uj7oo]

Omg. I'm planning to do this piece for my final honours recital this year. I'm planning to do my thesis by her as well. If you wanna hear more of her music she does quite a lot for flute! Pls listen to her flute sonata its quite gorgeous! Thank you for sharing her music with everyone her music is sooo underrated! Her story is quite sad :(
Also I was worried about purchasing the music for this but I just saw you transcribed the manuscript already.
Thank you so much! ❤

[@DjeddaPixie]

Необыкновенно красивая и самобытная музыка и замечательное исполнение. Спасибо большое, что открыли для широкой публики такого интересного композитора.

[@Presalagor]

I really want to learn the flute part! The melody is so beautiful

[@sudabdjadjgasdajdk3120]

yeah it's really lovely, the jumping bass notes at the end of the phrases really make it pop

Can you please do Maslankas 3rd wind quintet, the score is online but there’s no videos with the score as of now

wow😀

This is fucking gorgeous . . .

[@Sam-qk8gy]

Did the flute play something different in measure 46 of Invocation? 9:24

[@guylevinberg1093]

Great stuff.
The first movement sounds alot like 70's prog (think Genesis and the likes)

[@hamishduncan7970]

Thats funny! I thought it sounded like the beginning of Buddy Holly's 'Everyday' haha
