"Usually, at any given time, a flutist is practicing a solo work, technical exercises, ensemble work, and an etude. When I began playing contemporary repertoire about a year ago, I was introduced to Robert Dick. He (literally) wrote the book on extended techniques and his "Flying Lessons: Six Contemporary Etudes" remains a staple of anyone playing contemporary music. I bought Flying Lessons a year ago, and continue to play them to help hone my extended technique and train my ear to hear multiphonics as I am playing them. This CD helped enormously when it came to starting a new etude, and even though I now know what they sound like, I still listen to the CD because I enjoy it. I recommend this CD to anyone playing Flying Lessons or anyone who wants to experience one of the most influential contemporary composers celebrated works. ~DD"
