Tune of the Day: Study in B-flat major by Clinton
from “A Theoretical and Practical Essay on the Boehm Flute”
Today we propose a little study in B-flat major by British flutist and composer John Clinton. It was first published in London in 1843, as part of his A Theoretical and Practical Essay on the Boehm Flute.
You may recognize the melody as that of the famous song “The Last Rose of Summer”, which was composed by John Stevenson only 30 years before this study.
