Barbora Hintermeier/Birgit Baude Altblockflötenschule Sheet Music

The Altblockflötenschule is a single-volume textbook for older children, teenagers and adult beginners or returners learning the alto (treble) recorder. It deliberately avoids childish illustrations and the usual folk and children's songs, focusing instead on a solid build-up of technique and musicality through attractive pieces from 17th- and 18th-century historical schools, beautiful Baroque and Renaissance duets, and targeted exercises for new fingerings. The 100-page German-language edition covers both German and Baroque fingering, includes short informative texts on instrument care, musical forms, ornamentation and historical performance practice, and offers piano accompaniments available separately.
