Gaubert Vivant! - Paperback

by Patrick W. Marriott (Author)

Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was the father of the modern French school of flute playing, a notable composer, and the conductor of both the Paris Conservatory Orchestra and the Paris Opera Orchestra. This book, a companion volume to a concert-lecture series celebrating Gaubert's memory, is his first published biography, drawn in large part from family memoirs and other unpublished sources.
