Industry Reviews
"[Kyle Dzapo] presents historical, theoretical, and performance practice guidance to 35 major flute works. It is valuable not only for flute undergraduates and flute pedagogy graduate students but also for flute teachers of all ages who wish to illuminate works' overall form and the cultures and backgrounds of their composers... I highly recommend this book; it will be useful for the entire flute community." --The Flutist Quarterly
"Notes for Flutists promises, as does its proposed parent series, Oxford's 'Notes for Performers,' to be a valuable resource for students, amateurs and professionals alike." --American Music Teacher Review
"As a reference work, flutists of all sorts will appreciate Dzapo's volume. How convenient it is to have a book close at hand from which to gain quick background information on specific
works or composers. The availability of paperback and e-versions of this book will greatly increase accessibility for students and amateurs, who may want to purchase their own copies rather than relying solely on their local or university libraries... I suspect performers across the orchestra will be thrilled with the prospect of a book that highlights their favorite literature, and a new resource to be used both as a pedagogical tool and for brushing up on historical study. Certainly
flutists--students, teachers, amateurs, and professionals alike--will celebrate having an item on their bookshelves that inspires them to revisit their own musical favorites or to explore classics they have not
yet played." --Notes
