Victor Mahillon's Hints on the Fingering of the Boehm Flute, 1884
This pamphlet was published by C. Mahillon & Co., London, in 1884. Mahillon
discusses
harmonics, venting, and the theory of the fingering of the Boehm flute.
"It is evident", he says, "that an instrument can be admirably played without the
performer's ever having troubled himself with the principle of its
construction; but, in this case, there is the risk of his repeating, and propagating
in his turn, the innumerable errors and prejudices which spring from purely
mechanical work."
