The foundation upon which the library of fl/vla/hp repertoire is built, Debussy was the first composer to conceive of this unique combination of something blown, something bowed and something plucked. His three-movement Sonata was written in tribute to his homeland and explores a full range of landscapes and sonorities. This landmark piece is a favorite among musicians and music-lovers alike.
