Пожалуйста, господа!

....Livia Caffagni (recorder, fiddle, voice)....
Интересно, что у англичан блок-флейта пишется как recorder (не пойму почему так). Вот у французов все понятно: flûte à bec, а почему по-английски столь просто, вот загадка.

The instrument has been known by its modern name at least since the 14th century. David Lasocki reports the earliest use of the word "recorder" was in the household of the Earl of Derby (later to become King Henry IV) in 1388: "fistula nomine Recordour". The name originates from the use of the word "ricordare especiale", which means "remember" (memorize) in Italian.

...before “to record” meant “to write it down,” it developed a specialized sense of the “commit to memory” meaning, that of “to practice a tune or song” (until it was learned “by heart”). The simple “recorder” flute is so-called because, when it appeared in the 14th century, it was considered a good, simple instrument for students to use when they were learning and practicing (“recording”) a piece of music. Interestingly this sense of “record” meaning “practice” has long been obsolete in connection with humans, but is still used among ornithologists for young birds practicing the calls of their species (“The young males [birds] continue practising, or, as the bird-catchers say, recording, for ten or eleven months,” Charles Darwin, 1871).

Т.е. в средневековой музыкальной практике продольная флейта считалась относительно простым музыкальным инструментом, который студенты использовали для запоминания (ricordare) музыкального материала, как вокального, так и инструментального.

Ах, вон оно что... Спасибо за интересную информацию.

Ух ты, как интересно. Спасибо, теперь запомню, т.е. выучу
