Course contents
This course covers the history of the rise and construction development of all wind instruments. Almost from prehistory, antiquity, middle ages and modern, the development of the flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, French horn, trumpet, trumbone, and tuba.
Students are introduced to basic acoustics and issues of non-uniform and uniform (tempered) tuning, the development of pitch tuning and the acoustics of wind instruments.
The history of wind instruments is dealt with from the oldest known information, through the development of individual marginal types of wind instruments, reed and lip instruments from antiquity to the present. Attention is devoted to the precursors of common modern used instruments and their related instruments as well as instruments no longer used which in education and performance are again being used.
