Through his teaching at the Paris Conservatoire
(1932-40 and 1946-48), his highly influential
recordings of the 1920s, and his perhaps even
more influential masterclasses of the 1960s and
70s in Switzerland, the U.S., U.K., and Japan,
Marcel Moyse embodied for many listeners the ideals
of the French
Flute School in the 20th century. He wrote
several books of exercises and studies but his
main focus was on tone and romantic musical expression.
Two excellent books provide further details about
Moyse and his musical life:
Trevor Wye, Marcel Moyse: an Extraordinary
Man (Iowa, 1993)
Ann
McCutchan, Marcel Moyse: Voice of the Flute
(Portland, 1994)
