Paper Route Press

bringing important, one-of-a-kind publications

to flute players, musicians, and music aficionados.

ABOUT the PRESS

I established Paper Route Press in 2016 following a year-long sabbatical during which I wrote, “Flute Playing and the Art of Doing Less Volumes I & II.” (Currently published as a single volume titled, “Flute Playing and the Art of Doing Less Part I and Part II.”) Additional Paper Route Press publications include a workbook on Interpretation and Expression, a scholarly edition of J. S. Bach’s Partita in G Minor (originally A Minor), transcriptions of three of J.S. Bach’s and one of C.P.E Bach’s Obbligato Sonatas, Guillaume Dufay’s Misse “s’e la face ay pale”, Elgar’s La Capricieuse, a previously unpublished violin sonata by the Brazilian Composer Henrique Oswald written in 1906, a Sonata for Flute & Piano and a set of “Seven Rhythmic studies” for two flutes by Tim lane, an arrangement for eleven instruments and low voice of Gustav Mahler’s “Ich bin de welt abhanden gekommen” from his Ruckert Lieder, Six Sonatas by Carl August Pesch (1775), and a historically informed, performing edition of the Concerto for Flute and Orchestra in D Major (K314-285d) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . Recently added are three recordings, “Sonate for Flute Traversiere and Violoncello by Niccolo Dothel Opus II”, “Compositions for Flute or Violin and Piano by Tzien Hsiao”, and “The Art Of Composition”, that includes Obbligato Sonatas by J.S. Bach and C.P.E. Bach recorded as trios for flute, oboe, and bassoon.

Future publications will include flute-centered works by the Cleveland-based composer, Larry Baker and numerous recordings. While Paper Route Press publications are most relevant for flute players, they also have performance and pedagogical value for all musicians and music aficionados.

ABOUT TIM LANE

I retired at the end of the Spring 2020 semester, having taught at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire since 1989. Prior to that I was a faculty member at Eastern Illinois University, the Interlochen Arts Camp, and the Cleveland Institute of Music Preparatory Department. I have held positions in the Orquestra Sinfonica de Veracruz, Mexico, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Ohio Chamber Orchestra, and the Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra. In addition, I am currently the principal flute player with the Chippewa Valley Symphony Orchestra (a semi-professional orchestra.) I have presented many, many recitals over the years in local, regional, national and international settings and I have commissioned numerous compositions by different composers including compositions by Allan Segall, Ivar Lunde Jr., and Larry Baker. I recorded a solo cd for Zuma records titled “Shards of Glass,” and I have recorded with Ciosoni (a new music/jazz trio), The Wisconsin Woodwind Quintet, Reconnaissance (a Cleveland-based New Music ensemble), the Cleveland Orchestra, and the Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra.

Schooling included four years of high school at the Interlochen Arts Academy, a Bachelor of Music degree at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and graduate degrees (Masters and Doctorate) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As a high school student I studied the flute with Jacqueline Hofto and Maurice Sharp with whom I also studied under as an undergraduate student. In addition, I studied the flute with Harold Bennett, Alexander Murray, and Claude Monteux during my years in college.

Throughout my adult life I have been a practitioner of both the Alexander Technique and of yoga (the B. K. S. Iyengar approach). While I initially undertook these disciplines in support my flute playing, their scope has long since met and surpassed my original goals.

On a more personal note, since graduating from high school I have worked and continue to work as a carpenter and painter, I am married and I have three adult children. My wife, Dr. Gretchen Peters, is a musicologist here at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the Department of Music and Theater Arts.
