The Classical Flute
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The classical flute emerged gradually, almost imperceptibly, out of the baroque flute-this is a modern distinction-just as the classical style of music was a gradual development from the baroque style. Indeed, the traverso’s development was a reflection of the changing musical styles of the eighteenth century.1 As the thicker contrapuntal textures of the baroque orchestra were transformed into the lighter, more transparent textures of the classical orchestra, so the darker sounds of the baroque flute turned into the lighter, brighter sounds of the classical flute. The higher pitches, higher tessitura, and greater flexibility of the classical orchestra were mirrored in the higher pitches, tessitura, and flexibility of the classical flute.
