Matthias Ziegler conducts this interview, accompanied by Serena Klemm, wife of the legendary Conrad Klemm. The interview takes us into the early life of Conrad Klemm and Peter-Lukas Graf, from their early years under the tutelage of Andr\u00e9 Jaunet to the excitement of the Paris Conservatoire, where they studied with Marcel Moyse and later with Roger Cortet.   <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1208\">Between anecdotes, memorable encounters, and Klemm&#8217;s unique charm, the story reveals not only the man and the musician, but also the atmosphere of a time when the flute, still little recognized as a solo instrument, was being shaped under the demanding eye of the masters. Peter-Lukas Graf also evokes the significant influence that Conrad Klemm had on the flute in Italy, highlighting its international influence. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1208\">From the Parc Monceau to the classrooms of Paris, an entire chapter of European musical history is revealed, recounted by those who shared the daily life and inspiration of great masters.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/PYRryse034g?si=jcmQavAw8C2dDYoR&#8221; image_src=&#8221;https:\/\/swissflute.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Capture-decran-2025-10-16-a-10.46.33-1.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_heading et_pb_heading_5 et_pb_bg_layout_\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\">In Memory of Peter-Lukas Graf<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\">\n<p class=\"et_pb_module_heading\">It is with profound sadness that the Swiss Flute Society learned of the passing of Peter-Lukas Graf, Honorary President of our Society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\">\n<p class=\"et_pb_module_heading\">\u201cPeluk\u201d, as he was known to his friends, shaped generations of flutists in Switzerland and far beyond our borders.
