Monarch of the Flute

Zusatztext The breadth of Nancy Toff's scholarship is evidenced in her vivid, detailed depictions of the two milieus in which Barrere played very influential roles: fin de siecle Paris and American musical life between 1905 and 1944, particularly in New York City. Through painstaking research in Europe and the United States, she has performed an immense service for the international woodwind community, rediscovering and placing in musical and historical contexts unjustly neglected but worthy solo and chamber repertoire written for Barrere. The wealth of information provided makes this book a resource of immeasurable value for all woodwind players.
