Summary of This Method
Ubungen im chromatischen Raum is a method focused on mastering chromatic playing on the alto recorder. Chromaticism, often seen as a technical hurdle (alternative fingerings, tight passages, shifting supports), becomes here a clear and organized training ground, allowing for methodical progress and the establishment of reliable reflexes.
Throughout the exercises, you work on the fluidity of transitions between natural and altered notes, the cleanliness of attacks, and the continuity of sound. The alto recorder demands great precision in air pressure; this method encourages active listening: stabilizing pitch, homogenizing timbre, and avoiding unnecessary tension when the hand changes position or the phrasing becomes denser.
Designed as a regular practice aid, this method easily integrates into a daily session: a few minutes to establish intonation, then more in-depth work to gain speed, flexibility, and playing comfort. A relevant choice for anyone wishing to consolidate their technique and approach works with frequent accidentals more confidently.
