Sept Exercices Journaliers for Flute, Op. 5

A virtuoso flautist strongly influenced by Brazilian music, Mathieu-André Reichert (1830–1880) was one of the introducers of Boehm modern system for the transverse flute. His Sept Exercices journaliers, first published in 1872 and re-edited in 1950 by the flautist Fernand Caratgé (1902–1991) for Leduc editions, are focused on achieving fluidity and a flexible technique.
