World-class soloist, recording artist, chamber musician, and transcriber Robert Stallman truly believes that "without a strong foundation in Bach, it is hardly possible to become a serious musician." In his desire to broaden the repertoire for fellow flutists, he has developed a special gift for transcribing works of Bach, Mozart, and more for the flute.

In The Well-Tempered Flutist, he presents a wealth of Bach works, taken from the great keyboard works, as well as the Sonatas for other instruments. Many of the 101 pieces presented here are available for flute for the first time. Stallman has truly created "an abundance of great music for us to explore throughout a lifetime of daily practice. In addition, many of these pieces can be programmed in performance to good effect."
