The late 17th century through to the end of the 18th century saw
rapid progress in the development of woodwind instruments and the
composition of a vast body of music for those instruments. During
this period a large amount of music for domestic consumption was
written for a growing amateur market, a market which has regrown in
the latter part of the 20th century. The last 30 years has also
seen the standard of performance by professionals on these
instruments rise enormously. This book provides a guide to the
history of the four main woodwind instruments of the Baroque, the
flute, oboe, recorder and bassoon, and this is complemented by a
repertoire list for each instrument. It also guides those
interested towards a basic technique for playing these instruments
- a certain level of musical literacy is assumed - and it can be
used by students, professionals and amateurs. Advice is also given
on buying a suitable reproduction instrument from a market where
now virtually any Baroque instrument can be obtained as a faithful
copy. This is the first book of its kind and has its origins in the
wind tutors of the 18th century.
