Marcel Moyse ([mɔiz];[1] May 17, 1889, in St.
Amour, France – November 1, 1984, in Brattleboro, Vermont, United States) was a French flautist. Moyse studied at the Paris Conservatory and was a student of Philippe Gaubert, Adolphe Hennebains, and Paul Taffanel; all of whom were flute virtuosos in their time.[2] Moyse played principal flute in various Paris orchestras and appeared widely as a soloist and made many recordings.
His trademark tone was clear, flexible, penetrating, and controlled by a fast vibrato. This was a characteristic of the 'French style' of flute playing that was to influence the modern standard for flutists worldwide.[3]
