Flageolet is a string technique where the player lightly touches, without pressing, a string at specific harmonic points, producing a high, flute-like overtone or harmonic sound. This is also called a "natural harmonic.". And this is a classical music hour of a former cello player. No need to be a melomaniac for it. An hour about composers, their thoughts about music, about concert halls, and a few records.
