Charles Gounod's Petite Symphonie pour neuf instruments à vent
(Little Symphony for Nine Woodwinds)


This is a fantastic work. A beautiful chamber piece, the instrumentation is a nonet consisting of one flute, two clarinets, two oboes, two bassoons and two horns. Closely resembling double instrumentation of a woodwind quintet, the piece prominently features a flute solo (reducing the need for a second flute in a double-quintet).
