A Scholarly History of the Flute

This is strictly a scholarly history of the flute and only that, and an excellent one at that.
John

Well researched and presented but lacking certain topics.

A thoughtful, thorough history of the flute. Perhaps a little too narrowly focussed, as the flute's history included relevant interactions with other woodwinds, none of which are mentioned. Does not say enough about the flute after 1960, and could use an expansion of the material on such topics...
