Charles Koechlin (1867-1950) was a French composer who wrote in a variety of styles, renowned for his command of orchestration. For more on Koechlin, see my score video of his violin sonata (https://youtu.be/oCNe3PmOqhg).
Although they have not been often recorded, Koechlin's three sonatinas for flute - written in 1942 - are typically vibrant, expressive and dreamy works and represent a very fine example of writing for the instrument. I hope this video will introduce flutists and listeners alike to this excellent music!
