Download or read book Vivaldi's Music for Flute and Recorder written by Federico Maria Sardelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federico Maria Sardelli writes from the perspective of a professional baroque flautist as well as that of a scholar, in order to shed light on the often bewildering various sizes and tunings of the recorder and transverse flute families as they relate to Antonio Vivaldi's compositions. Sardelli draws on primary documents to analyse the capable and progressive instrument technique in Vivaldi's music. This new English edition includes a discussion of the much-disputed chronology of Vivaldi's works, and will therefore appeal to Vivaldi scholars in general as well as to those with a particular interest in recorders and flutes.
