Description
Definition of Play:
1. to engage in recreational activity; to amuse or divert oneself; frolic; sport.
2. to perform on a musical instrument.
The woodwind Parthien of David Moritz Michael (1751-1827) convey delightfully both of these meanings.
The works are technically challenging enough to interest both the capable amateur and the professional performer; and they are works containing humor and whimsy, even in their most serious moments, to engage the mind and heart of both performer and listener.
