The tempo marking is denoted as moderato, a relaxed pace in which the mood is raised. A member of the woodwind family, the flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrument. This class of instruments produce sound from the flow of air across an opening. A musician who plays the flute can be referred to as a flute player, a flautist, a flutist or less commonly a fluter. The earliest printed use of the word flute in the Engish language was in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Hous of Fame", ca. 1384. Aside from the voice, archeology tells us that the flute is the earliest musical instrument. A number of such instruments have found in the Swabian Alb region of Germany, some dating as far back as 35,000 - 43,000 years ago. Source / Web : | meastros-of-the-guitar | | |||||
