About the piece

An album leaf for flute and piano, a modest piece from a composer better known for monumental structures. The album leaf was a nineteenth century genre in the most literal sense: a short piece written into a friend's or admirer's album, of the kind kept for autographs and mementoes, and many composers produced them as courtesies.
