Rampal became one of the world’s most recorded artists, with more than 400 records spanning the essential flute repertoire.”
It must be a passion – as important as the water you drink or the bread you eat.” is how Rampal described his relationship with his instrument.  Alain Marion was considered one of the world’s best flute players of the late twentieth century.  Marion studied under Rampal, and through his influence became a soloist for the Orchestre National de France.

This covers expressive phrasing as a foundation to develop music artistry and also creative practice methods. Not to mention the focus on breath control, tone, articulation, and technique, is to give the flautist the materials and knowledge to explore the artist within. The book includes 34 etudes and 33 solo movements: J.S. Bach’s Partita, Sonata in E Minor, C.P.E. Bach’s Sonata in A Minor for flute alone, and Telemann Fantasias No. 2 and 10.
