Quintet

Falls House Press makes available a critically overlooked work by an equally eligible 19th century composer, Gaspard Kummer. In Richard Rockstro’s The Flute (1890), Rockstro says of Kummer: “I know of no composer of music for the flute whose works are of such uniform excellence as those of Gaspar Kummer. His music had finesse, elegance, and noteworthy clarity.” This piece is a unique work not in instrumentation but its naturally flowing conversation between instruments and unexpected harmonic twists. For advanced players.
