Tune of the Day: Study in G major by Boehm
from “24 Caprice-Etudes for Flute”
This Allegro in G major is the twenty-third piece of a collection of 24 “Caprice-Études” for flute by Theobald Boehm, the German inventor who perfected the modern Western concert flute. These studies originally served to demonstrate the playability of Boehm's improved instrument in all 24 keys, but they are also very useful technical exercises.
