Description:
The "Ballade pour flûte et piano" was composed in 1939 and reveals Martin's way of mingling various contemporary styles. In the meantime being advanced to a standard piece of work, this "Ballade" is now an integral part of the modern flute repertoire.
Robison presents a new approach to this repertoire piece by comparing Martin's work with the ballads of the poet Francois Villon offering some new ideas and intriguing moments.
