FINTA GIARDINIERA, LA. Opera buffa in 3 acts, author of libretto unknown; music by Mozart; produced at Munich Jan. 13, 1775.
FINTA SEMPLICE, LA. Opera buffa in 3 acts; libretto by Coltellini, music by Mozart; composed at Vienna in 1768, when he was only 12, but apparently never put on the stage.
FLADT, Anton, eminent oboist, born 1775 at Mannheim, studied under Ramm, succeeded Lebrun in the orchestra at Munich (1790). He travelled much, visiting Vienna (1793), Italy, the Tyrol, the Rhine, Saxony, Prussia, England (1798), Bohemia, Hungary, and France. When in London the Prince of Wales made him liberal offers to remain in England. After 1810 he resided entirely at Munich. He composed three concertinos for oboe and orchestra, and some pieces for two flageolets.
FLAGEOLET. The French and Italian term for the harmonic notes in the violin and other instruments of that tribe; doubtless so called because in quality they resembled the flageolet. [Harmonics.]
FLAGEOLET (Old Fr. flajol). The modern form of the old Flute á bec or straight flute. The upper part consists of a plain mouthpiece, leading to a cavity, in which is a sounding-lip exactly resembling that of an open pipe in the organ. The air is shaped by a thin groove into a flat sheet, which strikes against the feather-edge of an aperture formed in the intermediate part of the instrument. The vibrations thus originated pass into a conical tube, which, unlike the organ-pipe, is furnished with lateral holes, and sometimes with keys. The fundamental note of the speaking throat, being coerced by different lengths of consonant tube, gives a simple scale; which can be extended by forcing wind in more strongly, and thus producing the first two or three harmonics of the ground tone.
The simplest form of the Flageolet is the ordinary tin whistle with six holes. This consists of a conical tube of metal stopped at the top by a square block of wood, except in a narrow anterior fissure. Below the fissure is a gap, the lower edge of which is flattened so as to cut and intercept the stream of air. In more elaborate instruments a chamber is added above containing moist sponge intended to hold back the condensed moisture of the breath.
In the whistle, and in the English Flageolet, the scale is simply that of the Flute; indeed, flutes are made from which the usual head can be removed and that of the Flageolet substituted. The French Flageolet is similar in its upper part, but possesses a more complicated scale, and an abundance of auxiliary keys.
The invention of the Flageolet is ascribed by Burney (Hist. iii. 278 note) to the Sieur Juvigny, who played it in the famous 'Ballet comique de la Royne,' 1581. In the time of Mersennus (1600–1648) the principal teacher and player was Le Vacher (Hawkins, chap. 126). It appears to have superseded the more ancient, Recorder, much as the Violin did the Viol. The two were obviously for a time in use together in this country; for the 'Genteel Companion, being exact directions for the Recorder, carefully composed and gathered by Humphrey Salter,' is dated from the 'Lute in St. Paul's churchyard' in 1683, whereas the 'Pleasant companion, or new lessons and instructions for the Flagelet by Thomas Greeting, Gent.' was 'printed for J. Playford, and sold at his shop near the Temple Church' in 1682. The former work gives a plate of the long bulky Recorder, reaching halfway down to the player's knee, whereas the latter represents him sitting over a table on which lies his book, holding in his mouth and hands the 'Flagelet,' a pipe not more than nine inches long; on the table lies one somewhat larger, apparently about twelve inches in length. 'It may be carried in the pocket, and so without any trouble be a companion by land and by water.' In the same way the early Violins were termed piccoli Violini alia Francese in opposition to the more bulky Viol. Both instruments read from a staff of six lines, each of which represents a hole to be stopped. In the Recorder music the tune, with proper notes and time, is placed on a staff above, whereas in the Flageolet a single symbol above the staff shows the time, but not the intervals of the melody. The recorder had a top hole stopped with the left thumb, followed by three for the first three fingers of that hand, a fifth stopped by the thumb of the right hand, and four more with the right fingers. It thus possesses a scale of eight notes. The flageolet has only six holes, stopped by a different arrangement; their closure being appropriated successively to the thumb, first, and second fingers of the left, followed in order by the first finger, thumb, and second fingers of the right hand. This fingering seems to be unique of its kind, and persists in the French Flageolet.
The Double flageolet was invented by a person named Bainbridge about 1800, and his Method for the instrument is supplemented after about 20 years by his son-in-law. It consists of two 'patent Flageolets, the sides close to each other; the one has seven holes in front and one behind; the other only four in front. The seven-holed Flageolet is played with the left hand, the four-holed Flageolet is played with the right hand; and in playing duets you will in general have the same number of holes covered on the second
