Productomschrijving
This book tells the story of the flute in the musical life of Europe and North America from the twelfth century to the present day. It is the first history to illustrate the relationship that has bound the instrument, its music, and performance technique together through eight centuries of shifting musical tastes and practices. In a comprehensive and authoritative account of the flute's development, Powell takes full account of recent research: on military flutes and fifes of the fifteenth century, the renaissance consort flute, baroque and classical instruments, mechanically advanced nineteenth- century designs by Theobald Boehm and others, and further innovations that led to the modern flute. All these transformations are related to revolutions in playing style and repertoire, in the lives of flute players and makers, and in use of the instrument to play military, religious, consort, solo, chamber, opera, symphony, jazz, popular and flute band music. For the first time the role of amateur flutists receives due consideration alongside the influence of famous players and teachers. The ultimate guide to the heritage of the flute, this volume will delight both those who play the flute and those who love its music. Ardal Powell is President of Folkers & Powell, Makers of Historical Flutes, Hudson, New York, and a distinguished performer. He studied at Cambridge University and at Koninklijk Conservatorium, The Netherlands. He has written numerous books and articles on the flutes and flute-playing of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
