Sonatine Op. 32

Sonatine for Flute and Piano (Op. 32) was written in 1955 by the composer Lazare Levy. It makes an excellent performance item for any recital or concert. Lazare Levy (1882-1964) was a French virtuoso pianist and composer. He was born in Belgium to French parents, but studied Piano, counterpoint and harmony at the Paris Conservatoire. He later became a Professor there, where he taught many famous musicians including John Cage, Marcel Dupre, Henri Betti and Solomon. He was also revered as a performer, embracing new works from composers as diverse as Falla and Rachmaninov, and creating many recordings which have since come to be regarded as definitive.
