Evenness and beauty of tone will improve with the strengthening of the action of the lips while playing these passages. After a while you will be able to forget the difficulties of the flute and to think only how the music should be phrased, then you will have entered the path leading to finished artistry. Let this book be your guide during one hour every day - this means 365 days in the year - and for as many years as may be required to make its precepts a second nature.

Andre Maquarre (1893-1918)
