The flute exercises you’re about to encounter are the work of Claude-Paul Taffanel and Philippe Gaubert, two iconic figures of flute performance and pedagogy.


Taffanel and Gaubert’s greatest joint legacy is the technique workbook that bears their names: the 17 Grands exercices journaliers de mécanisme or 17 Daily Exercises. Conceived of by Taffanel and finished after his passing by Gaubert and another student, Louis Fleury, the exercises are standard study material for flutists to this day.
