I'm Marcel Moyse's Great Granddaughter. I had met him many times as a child but it wasn't until his death that I found out how inspiring he was. His music is amazing and I deeply regret not spending more time with him. For those of you who knew him personally, thank you.
Good to be reminded of his playing. Went to his class - twice - so many years ago, when he was already very very old. this is such beautiful playing. Noting the vibrato actually pretty perfect, especially for its time. Intonation gorgeous and nuances superb.
I've read that Moyse played a Louis Lot flute, or, later, a Powell body with his Lot head joint, presumably because the Lot body was at A-435. However, the closeup about a third of the way through is marked Cuesnon, so who knows.
Cuesnon body with a W. Robert headjoint.Muramutsu(founder-owner) came to Boswil with the express purpose of copying Moyse's headjoint,especially the embouchure.People who witnessed the event said that Muramutsu photographed the embouchure cut with his eyes.It went into production as the Moyse model headjoint.Problem was-no one could get a sound out of it.
@PinKpAndAs1 I think it may be a Cuesnon . I have seen a few of these in Dublin and they had the extended left hand keys. One of Moyse's pupils, Andre Prieur who played in Dublin may have played one.
Robert Aitken said that? wow, I just went to his masterclass lesson last month, he said we young players should get our fingers as fast as we can while we can, and then refine later. Becoz when we are older we cannot get faster.

Even more difficult than playing fast, is playing slow. To play fast, you have to practise slow first.
Even more difficult: playing evenly and with rhythm.

Robert Aitken said that I should study with Moyse about 40 years ago...
(...I wish I had...)
