The Classical and Early Romantic Flute is about the flute, flutists, music, and musical performance in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Readers learn about the complex development of the design of the flute, how the different types of flutes were played, and how music was interpreted during the Classical and Early Romantic periods, according to original sources. In addition, fifteen short biographies of flutists and flute makers bring to life some of the main figures of the flute-playing world of this era and present their playing styles and artistic achievements.
