Having studied the flute with virtuosos Paul Taffanel, Adolphe Hennebains and Philippe Gaubert at the Paris Conservatoire, Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) soon became a virtuoso of the instrument himself. Etudes Et Exercices Techniques pour la Flute was the first of many popular study books from the renowned flautist. During his career, Moyse frequently played solo flute with many orchestras, including performing the main concertos of the repertory. As well as performing and composing, Moyse was responsible for the training of a brilliant generation of flautists at the Paris Conservatoire. Following WWI, the composer moved to the United States where he continued to perform, compose and teach. It is during his time in the USA that Moyse composed his extensive number of instructive books on instrumental technique, including Etudes Et Exercices Techniques, which today remain universally accepted and popular. Moyse's book is essential to all aspiring, advanced flautists.

A logical and thoughtful addition to the previously published 24 Etudes, Op. 15 of Joachim Andersen edited by Carol Wincenc and Bryan Wagorn, the Op. 33 set of 24 Etudes explores and solidifies the rudimentary building blocks found in Andersen's earlier opus. In this present edition, Professor Carol Wincenc and Bryan Wagorn continued in the tradition of Marcel Moyse, a pivotal mentor of Professor Wincenc. As a young boy, Moyse played for Andersen himself. In lessons, Moyse would accompany the student in these etudesby creating a counterpoint to the original study, often vocally improvising melodies and or lyrics. This edition contains a flute 2 part with counterpoint inspired by Moyse.
