Summary of This Method
This technical method is aimed at advanced recorder players (alto) seeking a serious resource to regularly work on instrumental and musical fundamentals. Designed as a natural extension of the skills developed in an alto school, it allows revisiting the essential elements of a "technical foundation" and evolving them towards a more accomplished practice, oriented towards musically and artistically confident playing.
True to the spirit of the instrument's original literature, the book offers exercises primarily focused on the altblockflöte to develop solid ease in playing reflexes: precision of transitions, stability of gesture, clarity of attack, and control of the musical line. Some chapters can also be practiced on the soprano recorder by adopting a transposed fingering approach, making the method useful for musicians playing multiple recorder sizes.
The term "technique" is deliberately reframed here with its ultimate goal: not mechanical virtuosity, but a tool serving phrasing, inspiration, emotion, and shaping of timbre. In practice, this method is perfectly suited for daily or weekly practice, complementing Baroque and contemporary repertoire to strengthen endurance, flexibility, and sound quality.
