A C major sonata for this instrument is among the best-known works of Georgian composer Otar Taktakishvili (“TAHK-ta-kee-shvee-lee”). The Andante Pastoral et Scherzettino is an early method piece for this instrument, for which Carl Reinecke (“RYE-nuh-kuh”) wrote his Sonata Undine. (10[7])Four pickup (10[1])thirty-second notes begin the allegretto malincolico (“ma-lin-CALL-ee-ko”) first movement of an E minor sonata for this instrument by Francis Poulenc (10[2]-5[2])(“poo-LANK”). Georges Barrère’s (“ba-RAIR’s”) premiere (10[1])of one of these (10[1])instruments made from a platinum alloy (10[6])inspired (10[2])the title (10[1])of Edgard (10[1])Varèse’s (10[4])(“va-REZ’s”) Density 21.5.
