Musicality does not start where technique stops, if it ever stops. The art of the ﬂute is not a chest of isolated little drawers with one aspect of playing locked in each one. I cannot see the border between questions. Separating into “logical” compartments different aspects of musical art (technique, tone, articulation, interpretation, etc.) seems to me arbitrary. I take nothing for granted either, and each day brings new questions and renewed pleasures. Hopefully it will be so as long as I have a breath, or a tooth, left. Yet nothing is indifferent to me that involves the ﬂute. I have been playing the ﬂute for close to sixty years. It is a book for lovers of the divine pipe, for those fascinated by actual contact with the ﬂute, with instrumental playing as well as musical function in mind, for its poetic mysteries as well as for its technical secrets. The main one is that such a book is not meant to be read like a novel, drink in hand under the lamp.
