A portrait of a formative French flute teacher

Leonard Garrison centers Gaston Crunelle’s long tenure as flute professor at the Paris Conservatory, from 1941 to 1969, to examine his place in twentieth-century French musical life. The book brings attention to a performer and teacher whose name is less familiar today than those of some of the flutists he taught, including Michel Debost, James Galway, and Christian Lardé. With Crunelle as its focal point, the study connects pedagogical influence, conservatory history, and the development of an international generation of flute players.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Flutists interested in French performance and teaching traditions
  • Readers of music biography and conservatory history
  • Musicians researching the lineage of twentieth-century flute pedagogy
