Patchwork is a chance to join Eastern-European composers of the XXth century. Sonatas for flute and piano from Prokofiev, Enescu, Schulhoff and Muczynski show the strong personalities of the universal Masters.

Poetic dream-like and tender worlds are then arising, that enhance the unique musical sound of this duo.
