Tarentelle for Flute, Oboe and Piano
Philippe Gaubert's Tarentelle was composed in 1904 and dedicated to his teacher the flute virtuoso Paul Taffanel (1844=1908). It is a one movement brilliant, exciting work giving each of the instruments a chance to shine. It makes a superb encore or short concert work
Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was born in the southern French town of Cahors. He studied flute with Paul Taffanel at the Paris Conservatory and became the leading flautist in France for several decades. He pursued a career as a performer, became conductor of the Paris Opera Orchestra and Professor of Flute at the Paris Conservatory. Not surprisingly, most of his compositions include the flute.
