Martin Amlin’s effervescent Concerto for flute/piccolo and orchestra was composed for Linda Toote to perform (as soloist doubling Flute and Piccolo) at the 2012 convention of the National Flute Association. Set as one continuous fast-slow-fast movement, the concerto is inspired by Amlin’s fascination with rhythm, providing an intriguing study in irregular and illusory groupings within a steady time signature – easy to rehearse and dazzling to hear!
