GERMAN FLUTE.—Mr. GALDREATH's approved
SYSTEM combines expedition with a thorough knowledge
of the instrument The awe hi* which that truly graceful and
pleasing accomplishment is arepdred sufficiendy accounts for its
universal adoption in preference to anyj other instrument. It is •
powerful stimulus to the snide of du Getman Flute, that any per-
son may, in a short time, and with comparatively litde difficulty,
attain such a proficiency as to be able to pla an accompaniment
with a Lady at the Piano-forte, se to take • part in a Quartett or
Overture. Time and Tone, the ground-work, so indispensably
requisite to constitute the finished Amateur, are frequently neg-
lected : to these Mr. Galbraith psrcteularly devotes his attention ;
without them the Student will fill far short of being a cornet Per-
former.
