Opis

Ardal Powell, a leading authority on and maker of early flutes, offers here a translation and study of J. G. Tromlitz's tutor for the eight-keyed flute, first published in German in 1800. Powell explores the instrument's history and assesses Tromlitz's importance as a designer. The volume contains information vital to the historically informed performance of classical and Romantic music.

Recenzje

Powell's translation of the treatise itself reads well. Rarely are technical texts in German so neatly yet comfortably rendered into enjoyable English ... Powell provides both practical and theoretical material of great use to historians, musicians, and organologists. Tromlitz's treatise becomes a vehicle for Powell to write about the flute in the eighteenth century, something that he does extremely well, even brilliantly ... his discussion of the treatise is, I believe, even more important than his fine translation of the treatise itself.
