Talk:Jacques-Martin Hotteterre

Untitled
I don't see that 'may have been' constitutes a use of 'weasel words' in this instance. We have no solid evidence about who developed the Baroque flute. Though popular scholarship has led to an association between this particular family and the development of the one-keyed flute, it is impossible at present to speak definitively in this instance; it is therefore not cautiously skirting around the issue, but a representation of current scholarship, which is sketchy at best. (See: The Hotteterre Flute: Six Replicas in Search of a Myth, Ardal Powell,Journal of the American Musicological Society, Vol. 49, No. 2 (Summer, 1996), pp. 225-263). 122.111.170.119 (talk) 12:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
