Quantz, Johann Joachim. (1697–1773). Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversiere zu spielen [...] mit Exempeln erläutet. Nebst XXIV. Kupfertafeln.. Breslau: Johann Friedrich Korn . 1780. Second Edition.
Johann Joachim Quantzens, Königl. Preußischen Kammermusikus, Versuch einer Anweisung die Flötetraversiere zu spielen; mit verfchiedenen zur Beförderung des guten Geschmackes in der praktischen Musik dienlichen Anmerkungen begleitet, und mit Exempeln erläutert. Nebst XXIV. Kupfertafeln. Second edition of the important treatise on flute playing ["Instruction on Playing the Transverse Flute"] and performance practice, with 24 engraved plates of musical exercises and examples. [7]; 334; [42] pp., including index and and musical examples. Hardcover, paper boards with leather label to the spine. Internal toning and some light damp stains to the title page; boards rubbed with edge and spine chips. Overall in very good condition. 7.75 x 9.75 inches (19.5 x 25 cm). Eitner VIII, 100 - RISM B VI, 677 - vgl. Wolffheim I, 946 (First Ed. 1752).
Johann Joachim Quantz was probably the best-known flute player of the 18th century, his fame is due not only to his compositions and “On playing the Flute”, (first published 1752) but also to the fact that he was the flute teacher of Frederick the Great of Prussia from 1728. The present work has long been recognized as one of the most significant and in-depth treatises on eighteenth-century musical thought, performance practice, and style. This classic text of Baroque music instruction goes far beyond an introduction to flute methods by offering a comprehensive program of studies that is equally applicable to other instruments and singers. The work is comprised of three interrelated essays that examine the education of the solo musician, the art of accompaniment, and forms and style. Quantz provides detailed treatment of a wide range of subjects, including phrasing, ornamentation, accent, intensity, tuning, cadenzas, the role of the concertmaster, stage deportment, and techniques for playing dance movements. Of special interest is a table that relates various tempos to the speed of the pulse.
