Following the passing of Aurèle Nicolet in January 2016, the La Côte Flûte Festival Association, now the Swiss Flute Society, wished to preserve the memory of this exceptional flautist. A bridge between the playing of Marcel Moyse and that of current generations, Aurèle Nicolet profoundly influenced many musicians and friends with his talent and humanity.

This book brings together memorabilia, photos, and archival documents, offering a vivid insight into his influence, his friendships, and his entire personality. It is neither an exhaustive biography nor a historical manual, but a sincere tribute, to be browsed freely, to discover the man and the artist.
