Gomez, Francisco - Lorito Caprice for flute and piano Three Flutes I sometimes played this music

I sometimes played this music to accompany the poems “Chants des Hommes” and “Réveil” and sometimes played the pieces solo as a musical meditation

The concise miniatures are outstanding examples of the little pieces genre

and only after innumerable improvements in instrument design

Be aware of the changing harmonies underneath the held notes in the bassoon part

A few errors in the copy have been tacitly corrected here
