Best Answer

It is possibly one of the hardest and longest pieces for Flute or piano in the standard repertoire and it requires a huge amount of stamina, technique and projection to sound over such a substantial piano part. It also includes a lot of high D's. Being so repetitive, one has to really work at keeping the interest there at all the time. However, it's a great energetic work and can be spectacular when performed well.

It made more success as a transcription for violin and piano sonata as requested by David Oistrakh (Op. 94b).
