Tune of the Day: Study in G-flat major by Drouet
from “72 Studies for the Boehm Flute”
This Allegretto in G-flat major is the sixth-fifth piece from French flutist and composer Louis Drouet's 72 Studies on Taste and Style for the Boehm Flute, published in 1855. It is probably for educational reasons that the last few measures of this étude are written out twice, once in G-flat major and once in the enharmonic key of F-sharp major.
