Just my .02, but I'd say this is Gaubert playing, not Moyse. The sound is similar to the Gaubert 1919 recording of Bach Badinerie. Also, Gaubert played a solid silver Louis Lot flute and this sounds like a Lot flute with it's typical subtly sweet highs and melodic midrange. Moyse played on a maillechort (nickel silver) Couesnon flute which has great edge, a slightly hollow, etherial sound (not bad, just different) and a slightly brassy bottom end. I prefer the Gaubert and his Lot flute.

Based on this recording, I think I am using the right technique development books!

Why would you assume it's Moyse when it says it's Gaubert? Very strange. Gaubert was Paul Taffanel's star pupil. I wanted to see if Gaubert had recorded anything. There are no recordings of Taffanel so I though Gaubert would be the closest I could get to Taffanel's sound and concept. Taffanel developed what came to be known as the French School of flute playing that everyone used today. Gaubert, Moyse, Berrere, Kincaid right up to Pahud. Tone was the important thing.

Assuming this is Moyse playing, one can easily compare because we have Moyse doing this very piece (on YouTube). You might hear that the vibrato's are different - Moyse's having a slightly wider amplitude (high waves, more vigorous), with Gaubert's [here, this piece] more subtle, like low undulating waves.

I thought A=442 is the European standard. Also, factor in variable speeds on old equipment causing pitch to rise and fall. And, remember, conquering the world means trying to conquer it musically as well: The first effort to institutionalize A=440 in fact was a conference organized by Joseph Goebbels in 1939, who had standardized A=440 as the official German pitch.

@syrinx79 pianos and flutes do not play in the same tuning scale, thus if the flutist does play in tune, it may sound out of tune with the piano, which is not in tune anyway (equal temperament FAIL! just temperament ftw.....)

I have this recording and it is labeled as Moyse playing... No idea if it is correct.
