Upon examination, these beliefs are demonstrably false. This book explores the role of the flute in Scottish musical life, primarily in the long eighteenth century, including players, repertoire, manuscripts, and instruments. Evidence for ladies having played the flute is also examined, as are possible connections between flute playing and bagpipe playing. Reasons for the flute's disappearance from the pantheon of Scottish instruments are considered, and interviews with contemporary flute players in Scotland depict flute playing in contemporary Scotland. This work fills a major gap in knowledge of Scottish musical life and flute history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178874716X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788747165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Elizabeth Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486079725823,"sku":"9781788747165","price":77.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01d6da37-5f69-451b-ae13-c8926cb97bdc.jpg?v=1778053535","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-flute-in-scotland-from-elizabeth-ford-9781788747165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
