More on Moyse


Dear Flutists,
A teacher on one of the flute discussion groups was looking for definitive recordings of Marcel Moyse's "24 Little Melodic Studies" also known as 24 Petites études mélodique (Variations on short melodies) written by Marcel Moyse in 1928.

I thought it would be handy to answer that question as well as put some other Moyse links here, in case anyone else is looking for definitive pedagogical material from the scion of 19th century French flute playing.

Here's everything useful I have found on the net thus far:
