Teachers and flutists at all levels have praised Nancy Toff's The
Flute Book, a unique one-stop guide to the flute and its music.
Organized into four main parts-The Instrument, Performance, The
Music, and Repertoire Catalog-the book begins with a description of
the instrument and its making, offers information on choosing and
caring for a flute, sketches a history of the flute, and discusses
differences between members of the flute family. In the Performance
section, readers learn about breathing, tone, vibrato,
articulation, technique, style, performing, and recording. In the
extensive analysis of flute literature that follows, Toff places
individual pieces in historical context. The book ends with a
comprehensive catalog of solo and chamber repertoire, and includes
appendices with fingering charts as well as lists of current flute
manufacturers, repair shops, sources for flute music and books, and
flute clubs and related organizations worldwide. In this Third
Edition, Toff has updated the book to reflect technology's
advancements-like new digital recording technology and recordings'
more prevalent online availability-over the last decade. She has
also accounted for new scholarship on baroque flutes; recent
developments like those of the contrabass flute, quarter-tone
flute, and various manufacturing refinements and experiments;
consumers' purchase prices for flutes; and an updated repertoire
catalog, index, and appendices.
