Muchas gracias Dra. Cate por sugerir revisar la bibliografía de un gran maestro legendario de la flauta como fue Moyse y su influencia en el estudio de la flauta moderna. Excelente artículo que anima a investigar sobre el tema.
Great article, dear Cate, and not only for students…
Congratulations!

Awesome work! Thank you
