Frans Vester's famous collections of studies are an ideal introduction to the stylistic aspects of music from the 17th to 20th centuries. Selected from the works of famous flautists such as Devienne, Böhm and Köhler, Vester's compilations are quite unique and have become standard flute repertoire.
The 125 easy studies in this volume, consisting of technical and melodic studies, are chosen from 10 classical flute instruction books, all written by very famous flautists. Nearly all the studies are short – a great advantage to the beginner.
