Richard Lane: Dialogue: Flöte mit Begleitung

Richard Lane was 44 when he composed this «Dialogue» for flute and piano in February 1987 for his friends Erich and Erna Laury, two prominent psychiatrists whose avocation was music performance at a presumably high artistic level. «Dialogue» is a recital piece in which the elegant melodic and harmonic materials are well balanced between the two instruments, and highlighted by smart rhythmical movements. As is the case with most of the numerous short pieces Richard Lane spontaneously wrote for his friends or students, this three minutes long «Dialogue» is an enchanting little masterful work.
