Fonogrammi

Fonogrammi, for flute and chamber orchestra, is a composition by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki.

[4] It typically takes six to seven minutes to perform and is scored for three flutes, strings, harpsichord, and percussion, including piano.

It opens with the sound of the gong and other clashing cymbals, which then makes way for a harpsichord solo, which then leads to the string section.

Then, the percussion and the harpsichord, in a trembling manner, go on to the next section, recognisable for the use of the tubular bells.

The work finishes with a solo flute in its lowest register, accompanied by the strings, the vibraphone and the vibraslap.
