A little flurry of whimsical energy for soprano, alto and bass flute, clarinet and bass clarinet. One of those little ideas that just popped out in the middle of the night. Alternates measures of 5/4 & 6/4. (Hence, "skittery.")
duration: 75 seconds, Dm
Revisited this piece and arranged for guitar, (oboe)/alto flute & flute. (Em)
I like it... -- C. Smith
