Schule für die Altblockflöte

The course takes into account the old support finger technique, which facilitates the difficult fork fingerings and is therefore particularly suitable for introducing the player to the difficult literature. The school puts old pieces, even the smallest exercises, in duet form; this makes them particularly lively and entertaining. The second part, however, is ad lib, so that it is also possible to use the school in self-instruction. In an appendix, the first part brings 77 exercises to promote finger and reed technique, some of which are taken from old original works, and in the second part, as a special treasure, 15 technically interesting and musically outstanding solo pieces by masters of the 18th century.
