It all began with a fascinating find in the well-known antiquarian music shop Schlöhlein in Basel, where Miriam Terragni came across a substantial but previously neglected Romantic flute sonata, an era which offers a fairly slim repertoire for flute soloists. The sonata was composed by Max Meyer-Olbersleben and it is a mystery to Terragni that this romantic bravura does not belong to the flute repertoire. The other recorded works are true but forgotten pearls of literature for the instrument.
