Four Fantasy Pieces

Four Fantasy Pieces for flute and piano (1987) arose, like all my work, arises out of my delight in improvisation: drafting a piece is improvising on paper. Four Fantasy Pieces also shows Feigin’s desire to convey emotional states through music. The opening Cavatina is a sad, songful piece, culminating in an angry climax which recedes back to a quiet ending. The second and fourth movements fast and lively. The third piece combines the moods of the other, featuring fast, mercurial segments, leading to a delicate conclusion Four Fantasy Pieces was written for flutist Jill Dreeben.
