Rafael Dressler's New and Complete Instructions for the Flute

Dressler's New and Complete Instructions for the Flute, Op. 68, was published in London in 1827, and in New York in 1828. It is intended for the simple system flute with eight or more keys. We make available here a facsimile reproduction of a 19th century edition in the writer's collection.

This is a relatively concise flute method that covers the basics well. The fingering charts are easy to read. Instances in which various keys and various fingerings are to be used are explained and illustrated by exercises.
