Product description
The first movements begins with a brief, slow introduction, followed by an Allegro molto in free form, which ends with a contemplative section recalling the introduction. The second movement, Andante, is in three sections, with a livelier middle section followed by a shortened repeat of the Andante. The third movement, Molto vivace, is a scherzo with an Allegro Trio followed by a written-out, slightly varied reprise of the scherzo section. The fourth movement, a Presto in typically finale character, is again in free form, and is twice interrupted by a Tempo di marcia funebre. All four movements are polyphically conceived.
Richard Flury was born in Biberist on 26 March 1896. After the Gymnasium in Solothurn, he studied musicology, history of art and philosophy at the universities of Berne, Basle and Geneva. He also attended the conservatories of these cities as a violin pupil of Fritz Hirt, Alphonse Brun and Paul Miche. Other teachers were Hans Huber and Joseph Marx (composition), Ernst Kurth (counterpoint) and Joseph Lauber (instrumentation).
Flury subsequently taught violin at the Solothurn Music School and Cantonal School. For thirty years he conducted the Solothurn City Orchestra, and for several years the Academic Orchestra in Zurich, as well as the mixed choir Harmony in Berne. Richard Flury died in Biberist on 23 December 1967. His works are held in Solothurn's Central Library. As a composer, Flury belonged to the late romantic tradition, and wished for new thoughts within the tonal framework. To him, music was the language of feeling and therefore a romantic skill, far from the purely constructive. While his compositions often show a strongly contrapuntal thematic treatment, this happens organically and flows from within. His transparently and imaginatively scored orchestral works are harmonically interesting, often with impressionistic traits that sometimes explore the frontiers of tonality.
Flury addressed every musical genre. His output includes four operas, sacred and secular vocal music, 5 symphonies, ouvertures, 2 piano concertos, 4 violin concertos, songs and piano music. In addition to the octet and the nonet he also left chamber musicians violin solos and duos, 11 violin sonatas, 3 cello sonatas, 2 piano trios, a clarinet trio, 2 string trios, 7 string quartets, a quartet for 4 horns, a piano quartet and a piano quintet.
