Ich hatte hier mal den Bericht von dem pr\u00e4historischen Fl\u00f6tenfund in einer schw\u00e4bischen H\u00f6hle – Erfindertum hat im L\u00e4ndle wahrlich Tradition. Im folgenden geht’s um eine Fl\u00f6te, die evtl. sogar noch \u00e4lter ist, und hier auch der Versuch, wie die Musik darauf geklungen haben k\u00f6nnte. Gleich mal sampeln.<\/p>\n
It is perhaps possible that the much-underestimated Neanderthals made their own flutes. Or so a 1995 discovery of a flute made from a cave bear femur might suggest. Found by archeologist Ivan Turk in a Neanderthal campsite at Divje Babe in northwestern Slovenia, this instrument (above) is estimated to be over 43,000 years old and perhaps as much as 80,000 years old. According to musicologist Bob Fink, the flute\u2019s four finger holes match four notes of a diatonic (Do, Re, Mi\u2026) scale. \u201cUnless we deny it is a flute at all,\u201d Fink argues, the notes of the flute \u201care inescapably diatonic and will sound like a near-perfect fit within ANY kind of standard diatonic scale, modern or antique.\u201d To demonstrate the point, the curator of the Slovenian National Museum had a clay replica of the flute made. You can hear it played at the top of the post by Slovenian musician Ljuben Dimkaroski.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
