Published in 1933, Gammes et Arpèges, by the French flautist and composer Marcel Moyse (1889-1984), follows on from Exercices Journaliers (1922) and proposes a set of 480 exercises for intermediate flautists. A table at the beginning organizes the work setting 12 exercises per period of 30 minutes, and three types of exercises can be found: major scales, minor scales and arpeggios of three to four notes. Considered as a maestro by some musicians, Marcel Moyse has composed many flute methods and exercise books also published by Alphonse Leduc, such as Mécanisme-Chromatisme (1927) and De la Sonorité (1934). His methods are widely used and recognised worldwide.

Modern Studies for the Flute is a set of sixteen studies by Paul Jeanjean (1874-1928). Composed in 1868, and initially composed for clarinet, these studies would fit advanced players. Each one of these Modern Studies is 3 or 4 pages long and extremely technically challenging. They all require strong attention, good endurance and they could be used to prepare the player for combinations of chords and rhythmic figures of contemporary music. Paul Jeanjean (1874-1928) is a French composer known for his clarinet compositions. He also composed 'Vade-Mecum of the Clarinet Player,' 'Arabesques' and 'Clair Matin.'

Professor Gergely Ittzés invites you to an expedition exploring the instrument flute, with a focus on sounds and playing techniques beyond classical flute playing. This journey requires curiosity, playfulness, imagination, perseverance, and patience. As a reward for your efforts, you can be certain that the journey will be worthwhile, regardless of how far you wish to go. You will make new discoveries and experience previously unknown sensations and sounds.
Throughout this process, you will acquire knowledge that will benefit you directly or indirectly, even if you are performing traditional tasks.

Gergely Ittzés presents 42 imaginative miniature studies that lead the reader into new worlds of sound. His precise instructions and fascinating interpretation of the pieces make Ittzés' Flute Expedition an indispensable travel companion. Ittzés is deeply influenced by Hungarian music and continues the tradition of Mikrokosmos (Bartók), Fingerlarks (Veress) and Játékok (Kurtág).
Ittzés is a reliable and trustworthy artist when it comes to playing and performing the most demanding flute repertoire of our time. He provides guidance and inspiration for every nuanced gesture, explicit fingering, and technical, acrobatic, and polyphonic requirement. His latest work offers a guide to modern flute playing.
Additional material, including explanatory texts in English, German, and Hungarian, as well as notes on fingering notation and symbol legends, is available for download at Schott. To implement the techniques used in this Flute Expedition effectively, accompanying video material is also available through the edition.

Telemann's sonatas, published in 1728, are “methodical” according to the meaning of the word in his own day, since in addition to the plain melody line given to the soloist in the first movements they also provide an ornamented variant each time. Henle publishers commend this instructive and, at the same time, very enjoyable music to today's flautists and violinists. G. Henle's luxurious new publication offers a solo and basso-continuo part in which the two instrumental lines are aligned for orientation, plus another part that gives only an unrealized (but figured) bass line. The Henle edition also includes a full score with a stylistically appropriate continuo realization.
“These six sonatas in Volume 1 (of the twelve) are gems which provide flutists the opportunity to study the art of ornamentation. Telemann has ornamented the first movements of each sonata. This beautiful edition includes a basso continuo part to aid in understanding the harmony.” –Flute Talk
