Tenacity for Flute and Piano is a musical representation of the perseverance, persistence, and determination needed to reach a goal, complete a task, etc. Tenacity features driving rhythms, unsettled harmonies and a lively dialogue between the flute and the piano that propel the music to its conclusion. The piece is a great workout for articulation and  also gives an opportunity to work on  register skips to develop flexibility and evenness of tone.
