Robert Frisch...
“His facility in playing the highest notes was simply marvellous; the last few staves of his Réminiscences à Hérold, the first piece that I heard him play, may be cited as an example of the difficulties that he was accustomed to execute.”

R.S. Rockstro gave a fascinating biographical notice of Robert Frisch in his 1890 treatise on the flute.
What indeed do the last few staves of Réminiscences à Hérold look like?
The aim of this web site is simply to make some of Robert Frisch's compositions available as reference material for Rockstro's notice; there is also a transcript of the Rockstro notice itself. In addition, flute compositions by other composers are available to download.
