The flexibility of instrumentation makes the work particularly unusual, allowing performers to experience the same musical material through the very different colours and registers of the flute family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLasting around 10-11 minutes in total, Eight Pieces is an imaginative choice for advanced players looking for contemporary solo repertoire that combines technical challenge with strong musical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Lowell Liebermann\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLowell Liebermann (1961-) is a highly acclaimed American composer, known for over one hundred thirty works across various genres.
