Ernesto Köhler

Ernesto Köhler (1849-1907) was an accomplished Italian flautist and composer. His contributions as a composer for flute are noteworthy, including over 100 works for the flute including études, duets, and solos. Kohler also composed several operas and ballets.

From Modena, Köhler received flute lessons from his father, Venceslau Joseph Köhler, who held the position of the Principal Flute in the Duke of Modena’s orchestra. In 1869, he ventured to Vienna where he began his career as a flautist. Later, he joined the Imperial Opera Orchestra in Saint Petersburg in 1871.

Among flute players, he gained recognition for his widely appreciated ‘Flute School’ (“Flöten-Schule” circa 1880), a popular flute learning method. Additionally, his Opus 33, “Progress in Flute Playing,” a series of three progressive instructional books for flautists published in the 1880s, became highly regarded.

Interestingly, Köhler also made connections within the mandolin community. He is credited with creating an early mandolin method called “Mandolinen Schule, self-instructor for the mandolin,” which was first published in 1887.

Jean-Louis Beaumadier

Beaumadier, a renowned flautist and piccolo player, began his musical journey with Joseph Rampal at the Marseille Conservatoire. He further refined his skills at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique De Paris with Jean-Pierre Rampal. Achieving international recognition through competition victories in Geneva and Paris, Beaumadier solidified his status as a leading piccolo player. His accomplishments include a twelve-year tenure as a piccolo soloist with the Orchestre National de France, an esteemed discography honored with the Grand Prix of the Académie Charles Cros, and the publication of his renowned piccolo scores by Billaudot editions.

Beaumadier’s profound passion for the piccolo and wooden instruments originated in his youth when he received a splendid French ebony “Bonneville” piccolo from his family. Devoting years to studying the art of the piccolo, he dedicated himself to promoting and sharing his love for the instrument. Throughout his career, he collaborated with esteemed conductors like Sergiù Celibidache, Leonard Bernstein, and Claudio Abbado, performing as a piccolo soloist with orchestras worldwide, including the Saïto Kinen Orchestra under Seiji Ozawa. With an extensive discography on labels like Skarbo, Calliope-Harmonia-Mundi, and Naïve, Beaumadier’s thirty critically acclaimed CDs feature his notable work, “The Golden Age of Piccolo,” which earned him the International Grand Prize from the Charles Cros Academy.
