The Sonata uses the classic fast-slow-fast structure for its three separate movements. The first movement makes extensive use of quarter-tone pitches and harmonics in the flute part, making it sometimes sound "out of tune" with the piano. The second movement is one of the earliest examples where this composer started to become concerned with the spacing of musical events. Notice the pacing, and occasional long gaps between events in this movement. The third movement in particular reflects the influence of some of the great 20th century masterworks for flute and piano (i.e., Piston, Prokofiev, Poulenc, Hindemith) and trios showcasing the flute (i.e., Debussy, Rorem).
The Sonata offers a wealth of exposure and opportunity for the intermediate player (both flute and piano) for intricate ensemble playing, alternate fingerings, challenging rhythmic gestures, and instrumental range. Yet will demand extensive technical and interpretive skills from the advanced performer also.
