Course Content (Syllabus)
The course deals comprehensively with the flute and other instruments of this family (piccolo flute, alto, and bass), through the presentation of the activity and works of significant flutists who lived and created in Europe from the 19th century to the present day and contributed to the constructional evolution of the flute, the flourishing of the French and German schools of the instrument, and the enrichment of its repertoire from the Romantic era onwards. The starting point is defined by the Bavarian iconic flutist, soloist, composer, and instrument maker, Theobald Böhm (1794-1881), and his groundbreaking innovations, which led to the dramatic structural transformation of the flute in the mid-19th century. Alongside Böhm's synthetic and theoretical work, the treatises (practical and theoretical) and works of other significant flutists of the German school of the instrument, such as Anton Bernhard Fürstenau (1792-1852), Rudolf Tillmetz (1847-1915), Maximilian Schwendler (1853-1940), accompany the evolution of flute teaching and repertoire during the late Romantic period and the early 20th century.
Next is the famous French flute school with dominant figures being the professors of the Paris Conservatoire and leading flutists at the Paris Opera, Paul Taffanel (1844-1908), Philipp Gaubert (1879-1941), and Marcel Moyse (1889-1984), whose methods have been and still are fundamental in teaching and shaping correct flute technique and quality sound. Following are the Greek representatives of the instrument, its teaching in the Greek state during the 19th and 20th centuries, and the repertoire that was developed.
