Debussy's 1915 sonata was ground breaking; there are only a few pieces composed for this combination of instruments in the classical repertoire.

"The Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp floats into a magical dreamscape which feels emotionally detached and ambiguous. Simultaneously melancholy and joyful, it seems to exist in a world beyond emotion. The music just is. In attempting to describe the piece in a letter, Debussy touched on this strange quality when he wrote, “I can’t say whether one should laugh or cry. Perhaps both at the same time?” (The Listeners' Club)
