With Richard Baker. Marcel Moyse was an orphan from the Jura region of France who became the most influential flute teacher of this century. His belief in the instrument's expressive potential informed his work as player and teacher, but variable health, an uncompromising attitude and his irascible nature often hindered his career. Even so, many contemporary flautists acknowledge their debt to him.
