Publisher Desc.  For flute, clarinet and guitar. Swiss painter Paul Klee has been an inspiration to composers over the last century. Likewise his art was influenced by music as is evidenced by his paintings "Fuge In Rot" ("Fugue in Red") and "Landschaft in A dur" ("Landscape in A Major"). While composer Paul Osterfield was a teenager he first learned about Klee's works when his youth orchestra performed Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's "Five Klee Pictures." Osterfield's "Klee Abstractions" is inspired by four of Klee's paintings: "Ad Parnassum" "Crystal Gradation" North Sea Picture (from Baltrum)" and "Twittering Machine." "Klee Abstractions" was composed at the request of guitarist William Yelverton and premiered by the Stones River Chamber Players.
