About
Each study focuses on specific technical challenges, allowing flautists to refine their playing skills and overcome obstacles commonly encountered in flute performance. They offer flautists a structured and progressive approach to developing their technique and overall fluency on the instrument.
Mathieu André Reichert
Mathieu André Reichert (1829/30 – 1880) was a Belgian-Brazilian composer and flautist known for his virtuosity and influence on Brazilian music. Born in Maastricht, Belgium, he played in cafés as a child and became a professional flautist.
Professor Jules Demeur and François-Joseph Fétis recognized his talent and brought him to the Brussels Conservatory, where he excelled. At 17, he won the Conservatory’s first prize and played in the Belgian court. Internationally acclaimed, he performed across Europe and the United States.
In 1859, Emperor D. Pedro II invited European virtuosi to Brazil, including Reichert. He became the first flautist of the Teatro Provisório, touring various cities and gaining disciples like Manoel Marcelino Vale and Duque Estrada Meyer.
Reichert befriended Brazilian flautist Joaquim Antônio da Silva Callado Jr., and his compositions, like “La Coquette,” reflected Brazilian musical style.
He also introduced the modern Boëhm system for the transverse flute, expanding its possibilities.
Sadly, Reichert died in poverty from meningoencephalitis, just days before Callado, and was buried in Cemitério de São João Batista, Rio.
