The costume to dance under the notes of a live flute was a medieval activity very well regarded for all social affairs at main households.
Nowadays, dancing at house parties had disappeared almost completely. Today you go dancing at clubs, with strangers, having nothing in common, and on very important occasions like weddings, anniversaries, state balls, museum galas, etc. And for the flute playing alive, it had been segregated practically at the main symphonic orchestras performances and the classes practices from virtuosos students.
I am wondering if people at that time ever imagined that the pleasure to have live flute music as a regular activity was going to be completely overrun by electronic devices, like if for example we predict today that Italian food will not use garlic in the future, being replaced by who knows which unknown substance.
We can only hope that time and development will preserve things that have an impact on our happiness and well being, keeping in a coffin superfluous uses and costumes. It will be a good idea to use a pencil to track record of the ones in the process of disappearing and the ones that can defy time, due to its importance to our comfort and lasting happiness.
