Reinecke: Sonata in E minor for Flute and Piano, Op. 167, “Undine”

SOMETHING TO KNOW:

Reinecke’s Flute Sonata is based on the myth of Undine, a water nymph. She marries a mortal to gain a soul but ends up killing him after he falls out of love with her.

SOMETHING TO LISTEN FOR:

The work begins with sinuous arpeggios that evoke the graceful Undine in flowing water.

Recorded live in the Daniel and Joanna S. Rose Studio on February 7, 2019.
