This indispensable manual for present-day players of the one-keyed flute is the first complete method written in modern times. Janice Dockendorff Boland has compiled a manual that can serve as a self-guiding tutor or as a text for a student working with a teacher. Referencing important eighteenth-century sources while also incorporating modern experience; the book includes nearly 100 pages of music drawn from early treatises along with solo flute literature and instructional text and fingering charts. Boland also addresses topics ranging from the basics of choosing a flute and assembling it to more advanced concepts such as tone color and eighteenth-century articulation patterns.

AllenIn this book. the author recounts a physical and psychological journey. He travels to meet several visionary artists or those close to them. His adventure is an attempt to understand the life of his brother. who struggled with mental illness and said he experienced visions. Are all visionaries mentally ill? Are they. in fact. in touch with a higher reality? As an agnostic. the author struggles with these questions.His training as an academic puts him in the position of judging the work of others in a supposedly unbiased way. What he doesnt explicitly state is that this training tends to disparage any type of religious experience. Although the author does not make a judgment about the validity of these artists experiences. he is strangely drawn to them. This book is a sincere effort by someone trying to truly understand the life and art of those who are outside of the mainstream.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good storyBy Jacqueline RousseauI purchased this book after my husband and I went to see Howard Finsters Paradise Gardens. Anyone interested in what might motivate someone like Finster will enjoy this book. As a working artist. I received some insight into my own creative process.
