Composition for Piano, Flute, and Harpsichord, Op. 62: Listen and Download.
This composition’s harmonies resemble those found in music of the late 18th-century Classical period, while some of the devices used – including the lengthy trills for the flute and the harpsichord – are more extensive than could be found in that era, as no human flute player could maintain a trill for as long as a MIDI sequencer program can. There are three basic melodies in this piece, and their orchestration is varied over time. The mood of the composition is light, cheerful, and playful – although, it is to be hoped, not frivolous.
