Summary:The flageolet is a small recorder-like instrument dating back to the seventeenth century. Predominantly an instrument of the amateur, the flageolet seldom featured in the orchestra but nevertheless occupied a unique niche in musical history. In nineteenth-century England, the flageolet developed into instruments of organological fascination which transcended social class and gender, giving an insight into societal aspects of musical performance. This book focuses on organology, for without instruments there would be neither pedagogy nor repertoire. Beginning with the early history of the flageolet, MacMillan examines the instrument in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England
