Description
This is an English translation of Tutor for Playing the Flute (1791) by Johann George Tromlitz.
The most explicit of the eighteenth-century tutors for flute-playing, it now serves as a record of instrumental practice as well as a useful guide to the performance of German classical music.
The Tutor covers all aspects of flute playing, including intonation, articulation, flute maintenance, posture and breathing, dynamics, ornaments, musical style, cadenzas, and the construction of the flute.
This edition will be an indispensable manual for players of baroque and modern flutes, and the information it contains will be invaluable for all musicians, students, and specialists interested in the historically informed performance of German classical music.
The text is annotated with critical notes and all of the original music examples are newly printed in modern notation.
The volume also contains a fingering chart and a historical introduction.
