Sonatina Brasileira - Jaroslav Pelikán
19. červen 2013
The title itself – Sonatina Brasileira - betrays that author was inspired by Brasil musical rhythms in his new Sonatina for flute and piano.
The South- American temperament is apparent in the livelier sections, whereas the slow-paced parts evoke the world of the opera. Here, Pelikán pictures the flute as an opera singer performing a rather exalted aria that is seasoned with a recitative in the middle section. The one-movement piece is rounded up by a recurrent wild Brazilian dance.
