Description:

Opus: 55
Genre: Classical Music, Classical Music (Romantic)
Accompaniment: Piano

The composer Carl Frühling (1868-1937) is probably not only virtually unknown to flautists. He was born in Lviv (now Ukraine) in 1868, even though he gave Vienna as his place of birth due to his Jewish ancestry, and spent most of his life in Vienna, where he worked as a pianist, chamber music partner, private music teacher and composer. He also died there in 1937, completely impoverished. His musical partners included such well-known artists as Pablo Sarasate.

Many of his works are still not in print today and were apparently lost during the Second World War. However, information from the reference work MGG, whose data on Frühling dates from the 1950s, suggests that most of his more than 100 works must still exist somewhere. He composed in the Romantic tradition, at the beginning mainly songs for the salon, later he was considered to have considerable compositional ability in his chamber music works, but his work was realized in a Romantic eclecticism and thus did not produce any innovations.

This beautiful Fantasy op. 55 for flute and piano has survived for the flute, although it was originally written for flute and orchestra. The orchestral version is currently considered lost. There is also a Duo for 2 flutes op. 57 and a Rondo for flute and piano op. 66, as well as 3 pieces for flute and piano without an opus.
