Bitsch 12 Etudes for Flute-Leduc
About
The Douze études pour flûte by Marcel Bitsch serve not only as practice material but also as short concert pieces, as emphasised by flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal in the preface to the Leduc edition. These studies are dedicated to Gaston Crunelle, a former Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris flute professor. Mr Bitsch himself was a student at the Paris Conservatoire and later became a professor there.
