Concertino is a rhapsodic work in the romantic spirit featuring
two principal themes. The work, composed by Cécile Chaminade in 1910,
shows a mature understanding of the flute that emphasizes the beauty and
technical qualities of the instrument. The original accompaniment was for
piano, and this band accompaniment was scored by Clayton Wilson in
1960. Chaminade composed over 200 piano pieces and also wrote many literary
articles. She began composing at the age of eight and began a career as a
concert pianist when she was sixteen.
