Introduction

In the classical and romantic period the flute enjoyed exceptional popularity. There were hundreds of flute methods published and innumerable works composed for the many different flutes used at the time. In my book The Classical and Early Romantic Flute I gathered the most relevant information about the flute and its performance practice in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. You can purchase it on the Oxford University Press website.

Below you find additional material from flute methods and other texts directly pertaining to performance of repertoire of the time.
