Sextuor pour instruments à vent et piano - 2018
Fl. Ob. Cl in B. Fag. Hn in F. Piano
For his Sextet, the composer Stéphane Fromageot, born in Paris in 1971, draws inspiration from the language of French music of the 20th century, which he was deeply immersed in during his studies at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris.
Mainly tonal, the three-movement Sextet bears similarities to Francis Poulenc's Sextet for wind instruments and piano (1939), a well-known piece in this repertoire.
Notably, it combines the unique colors of the wind instruments with virtuosic and rich piano writing.
During the premiere on March 11, 2018, Stéphane Fromageot performed on the piano, accompanied by soloists from the Saint-Gall Symphony Orchestra.
