Fantaisie pastorale roumaine op. 34, for flute and piano

Rudolf Tillmetz was born 1847 in Munich, where he spent most of his life, and in 1915 also died. Tillmetz was primarily popular as a leading flute virtuosos of his time, far beyond the country's borders. As a composer, he mostly appeared with works for flute and piano. The Fantasy is particularly beautiful and conveys enthusiasm, because the composer knew the possibilities of the flute. The piece creates the impression of virtuosity to the audience, without requesting the usual technical difficulties.
