Baroque Flute Studies

Baroque Flute Studies by leading authority on historical performance practice, Elizabeth Walker, presents a 'through the keys' approach to baroque flute technique, with the chapters exploring the characteristic colours of each key. As well as tone exercises, studies, solos, duets and trios, the book includes fingering and trill fingering charts, a chapter on ornamentation, and orchestral excerpts in each key, including most of the regularly encountered J.S. Bach repertoire. This book is an indispensable resource for baroque flautists as well as being a useful study book for modern flautists wishing to further explore the baroque flute repertoire / Flûte

The Flute Way-Encouraged by the incredible success of Rue Traversière 1 composer Sophie Dufeutrelle Professor of Flute at the Ecole Nationale de Musique de Villeurbanne is back with a second volume entirely focused on double and triple tonguing – a technique fundamental to the airy pearled and nimble sounds of the Flute. Determined to avoid a dry approach the creator of Rue Traversière 2 opted for a progressive development that limits the role of exercises per se. The book begins with five short focused studies with five more disseminated throughout the rest of the work. Allegros from the Baroque repertoire however are given pride of place withBoismortier Handel Quantz and Telemann (and many others) bringing a vital touch of vibrancy and sensuality to the learning experience. Instrumental practice is all too often reduced to solitary repetition with no other companion than the all-intrusive metronome. There’s nothing like that there: all of the pieces are arranged for two Flutes and the last two pieces are even for trios. Because sharing is an essential part of the pleasure of music!
