ON PLAYING THE FLUTE - THE CLASSIC OF BAROQUE MUSIC INSTRUCTION

Johann Joachim Quantz's On Playing Flute, first published in both German and French editions in 1752, has long been recognized as one of the most significant and in-depth treatises on eighteenth-century musical thought, 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.
