De La Sonorite: Art Et Technique, By Marcel Moyse, Published By Alphonse Leduc.

Published in 1934 and written by the French flautist and composerMarcel Moyse(1889-1984),De la Sonoritproposes a method to acquire a beautiful sonority on the Flute. Created for the use of advanced flautists, the exercises should give a means to the players to transform their sounds and obtain a different and better tone.

De la Sonoritis divided into five parts:
1. Timbre and homogeneity of tone in the 3 registers
2. Suppleness of tone (especially in the low register)
3. Attacking and slurring notes
4. Fullness of tone
5. Management of tone in interpretation

Considered as a maestro by some musicians,Marcel Moysehas composed many Flute methods and exercise books such also published by Alphonse Leduc, such as Gammes et Arpges (1933), Exercices Journaliers (1922) and Mcanisme-Chromatisme (1927). His methods are widely used and recognised worldwide.
