This book is the definitive resource for Joachim Andersen's life and music, bringing together his story--including accounts of the founding of the Berlin Philharmonic and the development of musical life in Denmark at the turn of the twentieth century--with a well-crafted study of his compositions. Delving into never-published biographical material about both Joachim and his brother Vigo, gleaned from thirty years of research, the authors offer full portraits of these famous flutists alongside a comprehensive thematic catalogue of Joachim Andersen's compositions and a revealing study of his etudes and other compositions.
