Composer’s note
Dedicated to the memory of my grandfather Carl-Erik Forslund (1921-2019). This piece is the first in a series of compositions named Intermezzo, each with a different title. It is dedicated to the memory of my grandfather, Carl-Erik Forslund (1921-2019). The Intermezzo series is intended to be approachable for both the performer and the listener, with a focus on simplicity and accessibility without being simplistic. This approach was inspired by my grandfather, who embodied a similar balance of modesty and sophistication in his character. This is a version for flute and piano of the original piano solo.
