Tune of the Day: Capriccio in G minor by Ruge
for solo flute
This is the seventeenth and last piece from a collection of Capricci for Flauto Traverso by Italian flutist and composer Filippo Ruge. Born in Rome around 1725, Ruge appears to have spent most of his professional life in France, and especially in Paris, where several of his compositions were published, ranging from small-scale chamber music to large-scale symphonic works.
