Boehm, T :: 24 Caprice Etudes
24 Caprice Etudes
Boehm, T
Theobald Boehm was a goldsmith and inventor of the Boehm flute (1847). He was also an engineer, composer, industrialist, and the director of the Bavarian steel works. In addition, he was the solo flutist of the Bavarian State Opera, and a well-known soloist and teacher. He played many of his own compositions on the numerous tours he undertook in his lifetime.
This edition is edited by flute legend, Sir James Galway, complete with his phrasing and expression marks, and performance tips for each etude.
Introduction by Galway:
'In writing these short pieces, Boehm gave us 24 miniature gems incorporating the difficulties we face daily while playing the flute. Many of the etudes require work with the low octave and will demand the revision of the position for the right hand. They are of course difficult to play, but using the method of practice I have outlined, you will learn to play in all the major and minor keys with an unimaginable fluency. Boehm gave precise instructions in some of the studies and very little in others. I have inserted some slurs and dynamics to help you play them.'
