Duet –Sonata for flute and Bb clarinet was composed between 1934 and 1936. It premiered at the opening concert on April 21, 1937 of the Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music (SIMC) in Paris. Thus, this work represents the composer's first international projection.

There is a precedent for this duo-sonata, which is the 1931 Two-Clarinet Duo with which Homs began the characteristic of using small chamber groups with solo instruments, often unusual even at that time. This Duo for flute and clarinet gathers the fruit of these first experiences and the expertise of his friend Robert Gerhard; one of the two preceding clarinets becomes a flute, versatile and possessing a contrasting timbral characteristic. The shape is also enlarged, now converted into a small suite or, rather, into a four-movement sonatina.

Both the old and new themes already cover the entire color spectrum and, therefore, can be considered first dodecatonic experiments.
