The Blackbird, written in 1952 by Olivier Messiaen is a chamber work for Flute and Piano that lasts 5 minutes and is one of the most remarkable pieces of the Flute repertoire. Base d on the study of bird songs, this piece is very technical and challenging, with many details to focus on and would therefore be a fit for advanced students. The Blackbird is divided into five sections, not officially written, and mixed tonal and atonal parts. Each of the section is different to the ones surrounding them, and the piece also contains a few Flute solos. Show more
