Guy Ropartz's Two Pieces for Wind Quintet (Deux pièces pour quintette à vent) is a composition for wind quintet composed in 1924, published in 1926 by Durand, and first performed in 1927. [1] [2] In 1978 it was recorded on LP by the Boehm Quintette for the Orion label, along with wind quintets by Irwin Bazelon and Franz Danzi. [3] In a review of the recording in Fanfare, Joel Flegler described the work as "pleasantly innocuous, in that well-crafted, inconsequential way of every French wind work I've ever heard." [4] The piece also appears on the 1998 CD, Woodwind: The Danish Wind Quintet.
Structure
The work is scored for a quintet of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn and is structured in two movements of differing tempos :
- Lent (slow). Duration: 4 minutes, 42 seconds [5]
- Vif (lively). Duration: 4 minutes, 56 seconds
