Musical Romanticism, explored by Pieter de Oude. French music for wind instruments.
Almost a century after their creation in the bustling Paris of the early 20th century, Radio Romantica will broadcast a number of delightful works for wind instruments occasionally accompanied by piano.
The Société de musique de chambre pour instruments à vent from the French capital was primarily responsible for a tsunami of works for wind instruments. In addition, the various instrument makers made significant improvements to the horns, which suddenly made the public take them much more seriously.
