Fun Fact
One of the most iconic classical pieces for the flute is Claude Debussy's "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" (1894). This masterpiece opens with an enchanting flute solo, evoking the dreamy musings of a faun in a sunlit glade. The delicate, flowing melody pushes the flute’s expressive range, blending impressionistic colours with ethereal charm. Revolutionary for its time, the piece redefined orchestral music and remains a cornerstone for flutists, captivating audiences with its hypnotic beauty.
