The author, through this exhibition, intends to bring obsolete musical instruments back to their former glory and retrace, in a precise and detailed manner, the historical evolution of the flute: from the one-key system, in vogue up to the classical period, up to the Boehm of the late nineteenth century. Furthermore, the project is supported through donations of other instruments or funds which contribute to further enriching the already rich and varied repertoire of maestro Crosta, known throughout the world for his commitment to the creation of the Museum and for his continuous research and experimentation. of new musical techniques.
