Cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed. This is the new edition of a classic text on Baroque music instruction by virtuoso musician, teacher, flute maker, and tutor, Johann Joachim Quantz (1). First published in both German and French editions in 1752, it offers a program of studies that is applicable not only to the flute, but to other instruments and singers as well. Three interrelated essays examine the education of the solo musician, the art of accompaniment, and forms and style. Quantz treats a wide range of subjects including phrasing, ornamentation, accent, intensity, tuning, cadenzas, the role of the concertmaster, stage deportment, and techniques for playing dance movements. Contains 224 musical examples, a table that relates tempi to the speed of the pulse, and a new introduction by translator Edward R. Reilley (emeritus, Vassar College music department). Annotation c.
