Jean-Louis Tulou, a pupil of Johann Georg Wunderlich, was one of the leading flautists of his time: he was principal flautist at the opera and a professor at the Conservatoire. His pupils included legendary flautists such as Henri Altès, Jules Demersseman and Eugène Walckiers. He composed over 130 flute pieces and wrote a flute tutorial method. He forbade his students to play the newly constructed flute designed by Theobald Böhm and even made a few adaptations to the traditional flute himself. Only after his retirement in 1856 could the Böhm flute that is familiar today come in to use under his successor Dorus. This Air varié brillant op. 98 was published in collaboration by Brandus & Cie, Paris and Schott, Mainz. An alternative setting of the accompaniment for chamber ensemble (two violins, viola, cello, double bass, two oboes, two horns and two bassoons) is only listed by Brandus. Plate no. 8873 / published in 1851.
