About the music
Anton Bernhard Fürstenau (1792 -1852) was one of the most important german flutists in the nineteenth century. He enjoyed a long and distinguished career as an international soloist, as a principal flutist of the Dresdener Hofkapelle under Carl Maria von Weber, as a composer of more than
150 works for flute and as an author of two treatises and three articles on flute playing. As one of the last major proponents of the conical-bored, Meyer-system 9-keyed flute, Fürstenaus pedagogical works represent the most sophisticated point of its development. Most sources claim he wrote around 150 pieces for the flute. Unfortunately, only about a third can be found published on modern editions.
My aim is to bring to light many pieces, that are to the best of my knowledge unknown until today, thus enlarging the repertoire for the benefit of flutists around the world.

The sources will be edited, corrected if needed, enabling flutists around the world to enlarge and enrich their repertoire.
