Features: C. Golberdetti was born on March 17, 1833, in Italy, and passed away on April 12, 1905. He spent almost his entire life in Paris, France, during the same era as Ernesto Colli. Colli was born in Modena, Italy, and as a flute player, he was primarily active in Vienna and St. Petersburg, Russia, while Golberdetti remained active in Paris. As a renowned master in the world of the flute, Golberdetti's current reputation, compared to the brilliance and Colli, who were both Italians, is truly remarkable. Although there are fewer records of Golberdetti as a flute player, his three light operas and several vocal scores composed by him have been preserved intact. The era in which Golberdetti lived is also known as the "Song Era" in music history, and therefore, his flute etudes are filled with singing, beautiful melodies. Golberdetti's Double 20 Flute Etudes (Op. 131, 132) are internationally recognized classics among beginner flute etudes and are considered essential warm-up exercises before Colli's 33 Etudes. Typically, students first use 20 Lovely Etudes and then 20 Small Etudes. The Double 20 Flute Etudes are suitable for students preparing for amateur exams at levels 2 and 3.
