A French composer, his main influences were the late Romantic and Impressionistic composers.  This piece was composed for the Paris Conservatoire's concours in 1909.  The Concours du Conservatoire was a yearly event, were the students had to play a piece of repertoire (usually specifically composed for this event) before a panel of judges.  The composer added a little phrase to the start of the piece, that says “Do you want, in the name of the Muses,  to play for us a harmonius air on your flute?”.
