Now that you've asked, I've never given that an honest thought . I'll get back to that later.

I guess I'd agree with that, since I hear a Debussy quality. You might like it because it has an impressionistic feeling...I assume this, at least, based on the paintings chosen by someone for the video!

Gaubert - Music for Flute and Piano

It's a bit more tonal than I thought. I liked the simplicity of this piece: Music for piano & flute - pretty much self-explanatory! Never heard the name before though. Actually speaking, my preferences still lean towards melodious ((?) forgive my lack of music vocabulary) compositions of the Baroque/Classical/Romantic era.

Bach for example, always has an answer for anything with regards to classical music . His 'Partita' is entirely dedicated to the flute, and has the typical Baroque flavor which I thought you might like . (I've never thought of Bach as an inventor - but more so, the best representation of his era).

YouTube - J. S. Bach - Partita (sonata) For Solo Flute in A Minor BWV 1013 - IV Bourrée angalise

His 'Musical Offering' (BWV1079) has some wondrous flute passages as well (although I'm not able to pinpoint at this moment).

Anyways, with regards to this thread, here's a more modern composition, which does in fact, feature a guitar & flute (if the original poster ever gets around to listening ) -

'Toward the Sea' by Toru Takemitsu.

YouTube - Toward the Sea 1.night

It's composed of three movements - and this is the first.
