Martin cleverly combines intense lyrical melodies with quick-paced rhythmical acrobatics in both the flute and piano parts, combining various contemporary styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer-Frank Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe composed a vast number of orchestral and chamber works, religious\/secular vocal pieces and a range of instrumental compositions amongst others.
