About the book
Joachim Andersen (1847–1909) was a Danish flautist, a founder of the Berlin Philharmonic and a teacher, and his 24 Studies for Flute, Op. 15 are among the standard technical études for the instrument: each is a single piece for the unaccompanied flute, taking the keys in turn, with a metronome mark at the head.
Reading the page. The tempo words are Italian as printed, and the metronome marks are the print's. Studies 4 and 9 are printed twice, as 4a and 4b and as 9a and 9b (No. 9b is headed for double tonguing, No. 9a for single). A comma above the staff is a breath mark.
