Danza de Las Bailarinas de Degas

This is a lively work for flute and piano composed in 1992 by one of the most well-known Mexican composers, Mario Lavista. Lavista's Danza de las Bailarinas de Degas is laced with a temporal joy thatfeels distinctly Mexican, yet contains a multicultural core of universal appeal. Driven by an energetic pulse, it's an exciting workout for both the flute and piano, with interesting, spacial dynamicsallowing for challenging, interpretative playing.
