Jules Auguste Demersseman

Grande Fantaisie de Concert sur Oberon de Weber

Composed by Jules Demersseman (1833-1866), Great Concert Fantasy, Op. 52 has been reviewed by the French flautist Marcel Moyse. Written for flute and piano, it is based on Obéron by Weber, and would fit players with advancedskills and abilities and strong endurance. Part of the series Flute Classics, this piece number 76 is among those adapted by P. Taffanel, Ph. Gaubert, M. Moyse and others. Great Concert Fantasy starts with the piano alone, soonjoined by the flute. The main theme does not start before the top of the second page of the flute score which is then followed by variations and the finale.
