Flute quartet (Flute and Strings)

Flute quartet by Salvador Brotons

Originally conceived for string quartet, two years later I adapted the violin parts by adding the flute instead of a violin. At the request of the AmarArt Quartet and Assumpta Pons, and given the abundance of string quartets in the world repertoire, I thought the work could be more widely distributed as a flute quartet. The flute gives it a different color and adds sound to the upper octave. The work was slightly modified for this version. The quartet offers a diversity of contrasts also very typical of spring.

The quartet is divided into four movements planned two by two. That is, the themes presented in the first and third movements are transformed and developed in the second and fourth movements, respectively.
