Tune of the Day: Study in G major by Clinton
from “A Theoretical and Practical Essay on the Boehm Flute”
Today we propose a study 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.
The second half of this piece, starting with the switch to C major, only uses 4 notes. If you are up for a challenge, the whole 16 bars can be played (an octave higher) on a single fingering, by using harmonics!
