Flute Pizzazz for flute and piano by Howard J. Buss

Flute Pizzazz for flute and piano by Howard J. Buss was written during the summer of 2017 and is dedicated to Nora Lee Garcia. This one-movement work is divided into 2 main parts. The first juxtaposes tender and forceful passages creating a moody sonic tapestry. The second and more extended part is in A-B-A form. Dance-like sections are separated by a developmental segment reminiscent of the atmosphere of the first part of the composition. Flute Pizzazz incorporates several colorful effects such as jet whistles, tongue pizzicato, and flutter tonguing. Grade V.
