My complete story of the flute :the instrument, the performer, the music

Here is a veritable encyclopedia of the flute. During his long professional career, De Lorenzo has found the time to do intensive research in the field of the flute throughout the world.

There will here be found hundreds of biographies of flutists and composers of flute music (amateur as well as professional), some of which can be found in no other existing dictionary of music. There is here a history of the instrument and the story of its evolution at the hands of the great instrument makers. There is a storehouse of information about the flute and flutists from ancient times to today, studded with odd facts, unusual facts, illuminating facts, as well as a veritable mine of anecdotes. This, then, is the indispensable book for every lover of the flute. It is also an inexhaustible source of information and entertainment for every lover of food music.
