For Hahn, music was a magical art and his instrumental compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Suitable for intermediatestandard flautists, Hahn's Nocturne provides a pleasant and evocative piece, incorporating a range of expressions, rhythms and other musical features.
