Roz's notes: This delicate Staendchen (Serenade) begins with a syncopated opening and shows a Hungarian influence. I have found that it is best played on a wooden flute from the period (I use a Clair Godfroy) in order to achieve the necessary sweetness. Sabathil was a renowned flautist and composer at the Mecklenburg-Schweriner Hofkapelle. In my researched article, you can read more about Ferdinand Sabathil.
