ABOUT FRIEDRICH KUHLAU
Friedrich Kuhlau (1786-1832), was born in Hanover to poor parents who were supportive of their son''s musical talent and gave him piano lessons. They sent him to Brunswick to attend a singing school and take flute lessons. Friedrich then moved to Hamburg and studied harmony and composition with Schwencke, and began to have his flute compositions and piano compositions published. When Hamburg was annexed to France in 1810, Kuhlau traveled to Coppenhagen
and became the first flutist and chamber musician of the court orchestra. In 1814 Kuhlau was hailed as the great Danish composer after composing a successful opera titled The Mountain of the Brigands. After composing a second successful opera, Eliza, he became the composer of the court. Kuhlau developed the reputation in Denmark as composer of chiefly operatic music, however in other European countries he was known for his flute and piano compositions. Tragically Kuhlau''s home burned down in 1830 and many ofhis manuscripts perished in the fire including the scores to his Flute Duos, Opus 80 and 81. His father (and mother) who lived with him died soon after the fire, and Friedrich Kuhlau never recovered from these personal tragedies dying of ill health a year later. Kuhlau composed seven sets of three flute duets; opus 80, 81, 10, 39, 87,103. All of his flute duos are remarkable compositions full of passion, great melodic content, and technical challenges. Flutists consider his duets to be a major contribution to the traditional flute repertoire.
Performed with great ease and delight, Zucker and Siebert make these virtuostic flute duos a great way to enoy an evening of music!
