By Levine, Carin / Mitropoulos-Bott, Christina - Comprehensive presentation of all performance techniques for the flute which prevail in contemporary music - Pedagogical tips for flautists to practise - Examples of representative notation from modern flute music - An essential tool for students, teachers and composers - German / English text “The book by Carin Levine and Christina Mitropoulos- Bott is outstanding. It deals with all of the problems of modern technique. I warmly recommend it.” ( Aurèle Nicolet) “Numerous publications have been dedicated to extended techniques on woodwind instruments in recent years, not least for the flute. While each of these has had its particular utility, I nevertheless welcome most warmly the appearance of this innovative work from the pen of Carin Levine, long a dedicated protagonist of the contemporary literature, and Christina Mitropoulos- Bott . Where other studies primarily take the form of catalogs of advanced sonic means, the present volume enters in depth into the actual techniques flutists will need to master in order to faithfully realize the intention of the composer. It will be an essential tool in the hands of teachers and performers alike.” (Brian Ferneyhough )
