This project explores the influences of the personal relationships, political circumstances, and culture on the music of seven composers for flute: Friedrich Kuhlau, Carl Reinecke, Franz Doppler, George Enescu, Eldin Burton, Jonathan Cohen, and Carlos Simon, with a specific focus on eight pieces by these composers. Through this exploration it is apparent their music not only conveys their art but also embodies the composer's personal relationships, political circumstances, and culture.
