“Strutture simmetriche per flauto solo” op. 17 was written in 1969 for Willy Freivogel, the solo flutist of the Stuttgart Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra. The work has three sections and is based on three kinds of formal symmetry: retrograde motion in the first part, combinations of passages in the second (scheme: A1 – A6, B1 – B6, A1, B1, A2, B2 . . . A6, B6), and a central symmetry round central notes in the final section, which makes increasing use of pauses as it develops.
