Book Review
The Flageolet in England 1660–1914
2022
Overview
MacMillan shows that the flageolet had largely passed out of common use in England by the turn of eighteenth century, when it was superseded by the more versatile recorder, and was little used until its revival in the nineteenth century, at a time when the transverse flute was hugely popular and an easier-to-learn instrument would have had, and indeed did have, considerable appeal. The book is printed on good-quality paper that displays the photographs well. Readings in the History of the Flute, a selection of monographs, essays, reviews, letters, and advertisements from nineteenth-century London; and Rudall, Rose & Carte: The Art of the Flute in Britain, which was awarded the Nicholas Bessaraboff Prize of the American Musical Instrument Society in 2013.
