Beschreibung
Paul Edmund-Davies Edition
Paul Edmund-Davies is a very successful and well-respected figure in the
world of flute playing and so all his publications deserve special attention.
The title is a little misleading as this book is essentially a four-week
programme of intense technical study. The recommended time span is actually 6
months, by which time 'there will be significant improvements to your overall
ablilty and control'. There are 7 exercises in each of the areas of sonority,
fingers, articulation and intervals, and the pattern of practice changes each
day. If you think that this is familiar territory, you'd be right. Some of
the material is different though, especially in the articulation section
where instructions on how to tongue each section are very specific. The
sonority exercises are particularly imaginative with eastern and jazz
influences to be found. However the system of using one idea and taking
through all the keys as started by Moyse and developed by Trevor Wye (to whom
the book is dedicated) is alive and well here. On the basis that variety is
the spice of life, this system will certainly have its place. Whether it
makes us all as skilful as its author remains to be seen!
