Richard Austen

A flautist and recorder player based in London, I specialise in historical performance but get involved in all sorts of creative performance art alongside Bach.

Under the name Tooting Music I have produced modern performance editions of unpublished or rare Baroque works including commissions from London based orchestras for specific works only available in manuscript form.

On this site you will also find a handful of works arranged for recorder ensembles. These vary in difficulty and have been enthusiastically play tested! Feedback is appreciated. The Miniature Overture by Tchaikovsky is a particular favourite with those who have played and performed it.
