Tulou 7e Grand Solo op. 86

Anne Pustlauk, flute. Toby Sermeus, piano. 2022 The 7e Grand Solo in E major by Jean-Louis Tulou was composed for the 1841 concours at the Paris Conservatoire. In that year two students won a price as the author Édouard Monnais alias Paul Smith reports in the Revue Musicale,  “Among the flutists, we saw a younger one appear, smaller than all the others, wearing the uniform of one of our regiments. This child, who is barely fourteen years old, answers to the name of Altès. You cannot imagine with what boldness, what ease, what brilliance, this child fulfilled his double task! M. Moreau, who had also shown great talent, and who counts more years, won the first prize; the young Altès only won the second, but he can be at ease: the first prize will fall to him long before he grows a beard. This is a hope of an artist, who must one day succeed M. Tulou, his teacher.” The first price winner Joseph-Félix-Aimé Moreau did not leave any traces. All the more is known about the young boy Joseph-Henri Altès. He played the flute in several Paris orchestras as the Opéra-Comique, the Opéra, the Nouvelle chapelle de l'empereur and the Société des concerts alongside Dorus. When Dorus retired Altès took over all posts including the position of the flute teacher at the Conservatoire. Altès must have had an incredibly good technique, as he was said to be able to play 64 notes per second without any effort (which was probably a bit exaggerated...). As a teacher, however, his severe and strict style was rather less convincing as reports and records suggest. The eight-keyed flute used for that video was made around 1830 by the Bellissent workshop.  Besides the usual six keys (C Bb G# sF D#) it has two curious but quite unnecessary keys. One small key is operated by the third finger of the left hand and serves as a second A-Bb (trill-)key. Another one is operated by the index finger of the right hand and serves as B-C# trill key. None of these trills appear in the 7th Grand Solo. The piano is a 1843 Pleyel.
