Berbiguier, BT :: Eighteen Exercises or Etudes

Carl Fischer presents 'Eighteen Exercises or Etudes for the Flute," composed by Berbiguier and revised by Stringfield. 

Stringfield writes, "It will be found that these 18 studies by Berbiguier are interesting both to beginners in flute-playing and to more advanced players. Each study can be played either slowly or more rapidly and still retain its musical value. Signatures in parentheses may be used in facilitating transposition of a number of these studies into different keys. Changed accidentals made necessary by transpositions are indicated in parentheses immediately over the the original accidental. Absolute smoothness in all scale and arpeggio passages will add greatly towards assuring grade in each of these studies. It will be noticed that there are no "reminders" of the key signature in which each study is written, (other than by the bar-line), to cancel any accidentals that might have occurred in the previous bar. By this method, it will be easier to keep the signature in mind without confusion."
