Italian flautist and composer, Giuseppe Gariboldi (1833-1905) moved to Paris after his studies where he worked as a virtuoso flute player and prolific composer. Being exceedingly talented, Gariboldi's compositions range from operettas to studies, including his ever-popular teaching aid, Complete Study of Scales. Covering a huge spectrum of scales, studies in Complete Study of Scales address scales in varying articulation, rhythms, dynamics, note values, ranges and ornamentation, among other things, in order to ensure adequate progression. Giuseppe Gariboldi's Complete Study of Scales is essential to accompany all flautist's technical progress. |
