On J. Andersen

Raise your hand if you play (or have played) Andersen etudes!✋🙌

Did you know that Joachim Andersen actually didn't play the flute that's familiar to us, but rather "old system" flutes which differed greatly from the Boehm flute that we all know? Yet his name has become so well-established in the world of modern flute pedagogy. 

It took quite a while before the Boehm flute became the concert instrument of Western music, but that has always been the case with the history of the flute. Trends and changes occurred over time and there were always periods of overlapping.

Playing with this idea, I decided to record some of his etudes on my 8-keyed Kirst flute, which actually dates from a much earlier period and would not have been the flutes used by Andersen. Nevertheless, the instrument can still deliver those qualities found in Andersen's musical language, even if it's perhaps less "powerful" than its later counterparts. In addition, I found my knowledge in earlier styles have actually helped me to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for later music. Above is the B minor etude from his Op. 37, let me know what are your impressions of hearing this music on this flute! 

More on Andersen's Op. 37 in my upcoming workshops in April, the early bird rate ends this Sunday!
