EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Transverse Flute from around 1795, originating in Potsdam, Germany. Crafted by the esteemed German instrument maker Friedrich Gabriel August Kirst of Dresden (ca. 1750-1806), this flute is a testament to his exceptional skill and artistry. Made with exquisite materials such as boxwood, silver, and ivory, it measures approximately 63.7 cm (25 3/32 inches) in length. What sets this particular flute apart is its unique design that allows for versatility in tuning and pitch. The instrument consists of four exchangeable upper-middle sections that enable musicians to tune the flute to different pitches effortlessly. Additionally, it features an additional C-foot which provides access to sharp notes. The transverse flute's aerophone blow hole makes it a side-blown instrument, allowing for smooth airflow and producing rich melodic tones when played horizontally across the musician's lips. This extraordinary piece represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship during Kirst's time and exemplifies why he was considered one of Germany's foremost makers of musical instruments. Preserved within the Liszt Collection, this photograph immortalizes not only an exceptional musical artifact but also pays homage to the ingenuity and dedication behind its creation.
