Tvärflöjter: Speltekniska och musikaliska möjligheter

Sammanfattning: This is a study of technical conditions and a comparison of the Boehm flute, alto-, bass-, and contrabass flute. The study involves technical aspects such as fingering, embouchure, articulation, and air consumption. In addition, there is a comparison of how commonly used extended techniques respond on the different flutes. The surveys of this thesis have been conducted through studying well-known flute literature, practice and the making of fingering charts specific for each flute. Furthermore, a study of some important works from the contemporary flute repertoire is included in the surveys.
