“Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was a distinguished performer on the Flute. It comes as no surprise; therefore; that his compositions for the instrument are at the forefront of the Flute's repertoire; Sonata No. 3 being no exception. After a prominent career as a flautist with the Paris Opéra; he was appointed as professor of Flute at the Paris Conservatoire as well as principal conductor of leading orchestras. It was during this time that Gaubert composed; including his Sonata No. 3; which was published in 1934. Addressing many technical features; including flourishing semiquaver passages; a wide range; emotion; intervals; chromaticism and complex rhythms; Sonata No. 3 is a challenging yet riveting and stirring piece for aspiring flautists.”
