Keyed Flute By Johann George Tromlitz

Zusatztext 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! Ibelieve! even more important than his fine translation of the treatise itself. Informationen zum Autor Partner! Folkers & Powell! Makers of Historical Flute! New York Zusammenfassung J.G.
