Fifty Unknown Flutists explores flute pedagogy and performance from 1800 to 1850. It was during this time that the instrument rapidly moved from the one-key instrument to essentially its modern form. But the period has been largely ignored by both historians and practitioners— this lecture is an attempt to rectify that neglect. Dr. Moore will examine both the reasons for this, as well as the wealth of valuable repertoire that awaits rediscovery, nearly two hundred years after its creation and descent into oblivion. Included in Dr. Moore’s presentation will be a demonstration of historical flutes from the Baroque era to present day.
