About
Reichert Daily Exercises, also known as “Exercises Journaliers,” is a renowned collection of exercises for flute players.
Reichert’s “Daily Exercises” have garnered widespread acclaim among flautists for their comprehensive approach to technical development and mastery of the instrument. These exercises encompass a wide range of flute-playing elements, including scales, arpeggios, intervals, articulation, and more. They are thoughtfully structured in a progressive manner, allowing players to systematically enhance their technique and overall fluency on the flute.
Reichert’s “Daily Exercises” are considered an essential resource for advanced flautists. By incorporating these exercises into their daily practice routines, flautists can strengthen their playing abilities, improve their tone production, develop finger dexterity, and enhance overall musicianship.
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.
