Abstract
Abstract The role of the flute in Death of a Salesman has received much attention, and credible explanations of it have been proposed. But those explanations have not considered fully the musicological context of the flute and are therefore limited. It has not previously been recognized, for example, that Miller may have been aware that the flute seldom appears in art and literature connotation-free. This article considers the role of the flute afresh and casts new light on Miller's decision to insert it. This in turn provides a better understanding of Miller's knowledge and of the way in which he developed the play.
