    		The Shinobue (kanji: ŽÂ“J; also called takebue) is a Japanese transverse flute that has a high-pitched sound. It is found in hayashi and nagauta ensembles, and plays important roles in noh and kabuki theatre music. It is heard in Shinto music such as kagura-den, as well as in traditional Japanese folk songs.

    A certain 19th century French flutist had the weird idea to transcribe the 24 Paganini caprices to solo flute. He did it with great imagination but the result is an awfully difficult work, as difficult for the flute or more, than it is for the violin. Who was that flutist?
