The sonata for flute and piano, opus 11B, by my father, Asger Lund Christiansen was in July, 1982 written for and dedicated to the great master Jean Pierre Rampal. The sonata was first performed (1982) by Rampal and Russian/ Danish pianist Nina Kavtaradze in Aarhus Musikhus. Initially (1978), the three movements were composed as a trio-version (opus 11A) written for Toke Lund Christiansen, flute, and Philharmonisches Duo, Berlin, Jörg Baumann, cello and Klaus Stoll, double bass. Nevertheless, the composer came to prefer, without doubt, the present flute and piano version.
