Studies and Technical Exercises

Having studied the Flute with virtuosos Paul Taffanel, Adolphe Hennebains and Philippe Gaubert at the Paris Conservatoire, Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) soon became a virtuoso of the instrument himself. Etudes et Exercices Techniques for Flute was the first of many popular study books from the renowned flautist.

During his career, Moyse frequently played solo Flute with many orchestras, including performing the main concertos of the repertory. It is during his time in the USA that Moyse composed his extensive number of instructive books on instrumental technique, including Etudes et Exercices Techniques, which today remain universally accepted and popular. Moyse's book is essential to all aspiring, advanced flautists.
