context_page_description: John Amadio was an Australian flute player, born in New Zealand, who performed with orchestras around the world and made a career as an international soloist and operatic accompanist. "He owed the beginnings of his extraordinary career to a prevailing public taste for operatic soprano arias with florid flute obbligatos."

These included a bass flute, a low-pitched flute d'amour in B-flat, and an alto flute in G.
