Density 21.5 by Edgard Varèse refers to the specific weight of platinum and is the first flute piece using key clicks as musical material. Proporzioni by Franco Evangelisti is rarely played and combines serial and aleatoric composition techniques. The title of Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Tempus loquendi... comes from the Ecclesiastes. Flute, alto flute and bass flute are combined to one of the most expressive contemporary flute pieces. And in the "Zeremonienbuch" by Swiss composer Urs Peter Schneider, 6 german poems by 6 poets from 6 centuries are set to music in up to 12 different ways.
