Quantz,
translated with notes and an introduction by Edward R. Reilly.
Northeastern
University Press, 1985, PB, 412 pages. On Playing the Flute,
first
published in 1752, has long been recognized as one of the most

performance
practice, and style. This classic text of Baroque music instruction
goes
far beyond an introduction to flute methods by offering a comprehensive
program of studies that is equally applicable to other instruments and
singers. The work is comprised of three interrelated essays that
examine
the education of the solo musician, the art of accompaniment, and forms
and style. Quantz provides detailed treatment of a wide range of
subjects,
including phrasing, ornamentation, accent, intensity, tuning, cadenzas,
the role of the concertmaster, stage deportment, and techniques for
playing
dance movements. Of special interest is a table that relates various
tempos
to the speed of the pulse, which will help today's musicians solve the
challenge of playing authentic performance tempos in Baroque music.

Michel
Debost. Oxford University Press, 2002, HB, 282 pages. Don't let the

fool you. Drawing from his highly praised French work, Une simple
flute,

imaginative introduction to playing the flute. This alphabetically
arranged
compendium of advice and insight covers essential topics such as
breathing,
articulation, and tone but also explores "jawboning," finger phrasing,"
"the little devils," and other quirky and vexing aspects of flute
playing. |

by Robert Dick. Multiple Breath Music Co., SS, 60 pages. The author's
perspective
is that in working with the new sonorities and techniques (microtones,
percussive sounds, whisper and residual tones, glissandi, etc.) will
greatly
benefit traditional playing. This work develops the strength
flexibility
and sensitivity of the embouchure and breath support, increasing the
player's
range of color, dynamics and projection. This book covers: throat
tuning,
natural harmonics, bending, whisper tones, extended timbres, diffuse
tones,
bright tones, "bamboo scales," timbral trills, and multiphonics. |
