|
Bel Canto Flute: The Rampal School offers an inspiring and artistic application of the teachings of Jean-Pierre Rampal and Alain Marion to daily studies, etudes, and traditional repertoire. In twelve chapters, Sheryl Cohen explores the Rampal School’s poetic approach to expressive phrasing as a foundation to develop music artistry, creative practice methods, breath control, tone, articulation, and technique, all while searching to free the artist within. This bold 220-plus page work includes 34 etudes and 33 solo movements: J.S. Bach’s Partita, Sonata in E Minor, C.P.E. Bach’s Sonata in A Minor for flute alone, Telemann Fantasias No. 2 and 10, along with movements from works by Blavet, Mozart, Handel, plus studies of Boehm, Andersen, Koehler, Altes, and more.
What others have said:
"Bel Canto Flute reveals significant aspects of Rampal’s perception that made him not only a great musician, but also a great teacher. It documents a great deal of the contents of Rampal’s master classes. Thank you, Sherrie, for bringing Jean-Pierre back to life: in the wonderful and loving diaries of your own experiences with Jean-Pierre, as well as his friend and colleague, Alain Marion."
       -John Steele Ritter (from Foreword)
"Bel Canto Flute represents an invaluable chronicle of Jean-Pierre Rampal and Alain Marion’s teaching methods. It captures their essence; a joyful love of life and music, and a generous sharing of their gifts with others."
       -Bobby Finn, Director of Editorial Services, Sony Classical
