Well researched and presented but lacking certain topics.,

This review is from: The Flute (Yale Musical Instrument Series) (Paperback)
A thoughtful, thorough history of the flute. Perhaps a little too narrowly focussed, as the flute's history included relevant interactions with other woodwinds, none of which are mentioned. Does not say enough about the flute after 1960, and could use an expansion of the material on such topics as the pccolo, alto and bass flutes--this is a serious deficiency. Not quite as thoroughly referenced as other volumes in this series, but generally this meets an adequate scholarly standard. There are some formal idiosyncracies which the author accepts. Despite its weaknesses, this is the current "definitive" history of the flute. Well recommended, and not too costly!

This review is from: The Flute (Yale Musical Instrument Series) (Paperback)
This is strictly a scholarly history of the flute and only that, and an excellent one at that.
