In recent years, various publications have focused on the extended playing techniques of woodwind instruments, particularly the flute. However, the book by Carin Levine, a leading figure in new flute music, and Christina Mitropoulos-Bott systematically explains all the playing and sound techniques of the flute for the first time. It illustrates these techniques with instructive literary examples that also inform about the specifics of notation. Valuable practice instructions show the way to practical execution. The book is an indispensable working tool for composers, performers, and educators alike. It offers a comprehensive presentation of all flute playing techniques in contemporary music, didactic tips for experimentation, meaningful notation examples from contemporary works, and is tested in practice on all common flute types, featuring a bilingual text (German/English).
