Anti-dogmatic and open to modernity in all its forms, in the course of his career, Jacques Ibert (1890╩1962) embraced every genre, from chamber music to symphonic and choreographic works, also composing many film scores. In 1935, his Piece for solo flute was recorded, in its first version, by the famous flautist Marcel Moyse, who also performed it live for the first time in Prague in 1936.
