Larson Professor of Flute, John Bailey, assisted by Professor of Piano, Mark Clinton, will give a recital of standards and rarely heard flute repertoire on Tuesday, February 3, 2015, in Kimball Recital Hall on the UNL campus.

On the program is the Sonatine for flute and piano by pianist and composer Walter Gieseking, known primarily for his outstanding recordings of the piano music of Debussy and Ravel. Firmly in the Romantic tradition, the three-movement Sonatine is a lyrical piece with a rich harmonic texture. In honor of UNL acquiring the newly published complete works of Theobald Böhm, flutist and inventor of the modern flute, the two will perform his Variations on a German Air, Op. 22, on the well-known song Du, du, liegst mir im Herzen. Also on the program is the rarely heard Scotch Pastoral by British composer Cyril Scott, and the single-movement Sinfonische Kanzone by Sigfrid Karg-Elert, professor of composition at the Leipzig Conservatory. Voice for solo flute, by Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu, rounds out the program.
