Wayman Carver e Harry Klee

Psicocinestesia nel flauto traverso
In my years of experience in Flute Didactics I was able to see that learning to express oneself musically requires both physical and psychic maturity, which can be reached with a didactic and psycho-kinesthetic study approach.

I principi di aerodinamica che regolano la produzione del suono nel flauto e negli strumenti a fiato
Sound is an acoustic phenomenon, i.e. audible to the ear, produced by the periodic vibrations of an elastic body.

Esiste una “etica interpretativa”?
di Onorio Zaralli E’ una questione delicata, ma troppo fondamentale per non essere affrontata.Partiamo da una dichiarazione di Arturo Toscanini: a chi gli chiese, un giorno, “Maestro, qual è il suo stile?”, Toscanini rispose “Il mio stile è quello degli autori che dirigo: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven”. Perfetto. Il punto è proprio questo: il musicista ha un dovere “etico”, quello…
