JOHNSTONE – Fantasy-Sonatina – DUO FLUTE AND PIANO [only available from “Creighton’s Collection”]

Other Identification:
The one-movement Fantasy-Sonatina was written in the summer of 2001 during some short holidays in Santoña (North Spain). The original title was going to be simply ‘Fantasy’, but as the composition grew with a more organized structure it seemed more appropriate to add the word ‘Sonatina’.

Movements or sections:
It is cast in a kind of Sonata form in miniature with only one principal theme in the exposition, followed by a small development section, recapitulation and coda. The work starts with a brief introduction, which is itself linked thematically to the main movement. Additionally, there are various cadences (cadenzas) for the flute, which certainly do give a sense of ‘fantasia’.
Duration: approx. 6 mins

Instrumentation:
Flute and Piano

Approximate difficulty:
Medium (piano quite comfortable too)

Dedicatee of this presentation (if applicable):
Johnstone almost constantly plays with a motive relating to the name RCASADO; that is, Re-C-A-eS-A-D-0 {0=nothing!}. It was in this way that the piece came to fruition, arising from a special request of the excellent Spanish flautist Roberto Casado, and nobody can therefore doubt where the dedication of the work goes to! He was particularly interested in a lyrical work that was basically ‘tonal’ whilst at the same time showing some harmonic involvement with the twentieth century, suitable both for himself and some of his better students.

Links (Audio – Visual), and known performances given by:
the first performance was given by the flautist Roberto Casado and pianist Francesca Croccolino

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
