Already as a child, says Wilfried Hiller, he was fascinated by the music of The Magic Flute, particularly by Tamino's flute songs and Papageno's glockenspiel music. This lifelong fascination induced the composer to compose three little dances for the tonally charming instrumentation with eight flutes. The result are affectionate miniatures on themes from The Magic Flute which are a treat even for little up-and-coming Taminos.
