Featured Composer
Jean-Louis Tulou 1786 – 1865 Arguably a virtuoso flutist of his time, Tulou was a flutist at the Paris Opera, a prolific composer of flute music, and professor of flute at the Paris Conservatoire from 1829 – 1859. A vociferous opponent of the new Boehm-system flute, Tulou was largely responsible for the Conservatoire failing to adopt the new flute in 1840. Tulou firmly believed that the tone of the flute should closely resemble the human voice, and he argued that the new Boehm flute did not retain the “traditional sound” of the flute, as it should. Tulou’s 1850 “Methode de Flute”, which was written for the “old” flute, and dismissive of the Boehm system, was adopted by the Conservatoire as the official flute instruction book. Tulou resigned from his position at the Conservatoire as the Boehm flute was finally about to become the official flute of the Paris Conservatoire in 1860.
