Performed by Melanie Lançon and Stephen De Pledge at the CMNZ concert, 'Fantasy & Romance', Auckland Concert Chamber, 3 August 2021.
Fauré composed his Fantaisie as a test piece for Paris Conservatoire flute students.
It follows a typical pattern for such pieces, opening with a slow section which tests the performer's tone, followed by a fast section in which they might show off their technical brilliance.
