About the Book

With the growing interest in recent years in the use of period instruments for recordings, live professional performances, and amateur music-making, the old-style transverse flutes are experiencing a remarkable comeback. The Early Flute is the first book in modern times to deal exclusively with the flutes used in the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical eras. The book details the history of the transverse flute from 1500 until the early nineteenth century. Advice is given on acquiring instruments and on their care and maintenance. Additional chapters guide the reader to sources about relevant technique and style, recommend repertoire, and give general advice to the modern player. The text is enhanced by numerous photographs of important historic flutes.

About the Author :
John Solum is also a concert flautist, and co-director of the Connecticut Early Music Festival

Review :
`It is always impressive when musicians wear more than one hat effectively. John Solum is a well-respected teacher and peformer on both modern and early flutes. With his monograph The Early Flute we also learn that he is a wonderful writer and compiler of information relating to his instruments ... planned enhancement and central to the volume's success ... I found the book a delight to read, and a confirmation of the affection I have for my early flutes. Its usefulness, highlighted by its approachability and the scholarship contained in its pages, will be appreciated by amateur and professional flutists and early music enthusiasts alike.' Fontes Artis Musicae 40/4, October 1993 `there is much information that existing traversists will find useful, as indeed will those with a general interest in early instrumental music....Solum deals with organological as well as musicological aspects of his subject, and has practical chapters on buying and maintaining an instrument. All amateur traversists should own a copy.' Early Music News January 1993 `The appearance of The Early Flute by the American flautist, John Solum, is timely ... The book covers many important matters concerning the renaissance, baroque and classical flutes, and will be of particular value to performers of early music (and not just on the flute). Its great strength is its synthesis of information, especially on recent developments and research ... scrupulous in scholarship and gernerously illustrated with photographs ... the book ... contains much useful material on an area of increasing interest.' Musical Times 'This useful book provides the essential information for a player embarking on the study of a historical model of flute, original or reproduction.' John B. Dick, Galpin Society Journal `absolutely essential for flautists, be they amateur or professional.' The Consort `Excellent book.' Classical Music
