Jacques Ibert: Allegro scherzando: Flute: Score

Published in 1934 this is one of the most frequently interpreted flute concertos by Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) a neoclassical composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1919. Written for the French flautist Marcel Moyse it is rated as difficult and is composed of three movements: Allegro Andante and Allegro Scherzando. The first Allegro is challenging with a rapid suite of sixteen notes followed by a theme more lyrical. Andante the second movement is lyrical and recalls its suites Escales (1924). Finally Allegro Scherzando reminds us of French drama through its theatricality and can be difficult for the soloist due to itsrhythmic part. Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) also composed many symphonic suites operas and seven orchestras including Angelique (1926) and Divertissement (1930). He also was in charge of the Accadémie de France in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and was later administrator for the Paris Opera.
