a warning about editions…
Depending on which edition you are playing from, there can be large discrepancies in the music ranging from dynamics to added notes. If you are playing Kohler’s Op. 33 Etude 3 for a lesson, make sure that you are working from a similar edition to that of your flute teacher.
Some significant discrepancies between the 1905 Carl Fisher edition (L) and “Melodious and Progressive Studies for Flute, Book 1” (R).
