    SIGURD M. RASCHER 158° ; SAXOPHONE FAERUIOES nets RI ILHELM HANSEN / Copeni ‘iste ty HB esr rising carporatn A few words for the second edition, No less so than 33 wears ago, when these exercises were published for the first time, do I today address myself to the intelligent player, that is to the musician, for whom finger exercises are only a means (0 an end, Therefore I deem barlines to be superfluous, as they only would clutter up the overall picture. The structural element stems from the groups, now longer, now shorter. Their size is easily recognize- able; in No. J for example, the diminished chord descends and ascends for 8 tones each: the group consists of 16 tones, In No. 3 it shrinks to 12, in No. 5 to 8 tones, etc. Change of direction and change of chord coincide in No. I; here the group has only 8 tones, in No. 13 only six, and so forth. Accidentals are used sparingly. Only where they are really necessary did I put them, that is within a group, or for tone alterations, or at chord changes, It follows that accidentals are not valid from one group to another. Js this clear, are natural signs mostly unnecessary and therefore omitted. Only where doubts might creep in will you find them; for instance at the change of lines and at the second note in a group: in fast reading this might help, [have also repeated an accidental here and there to clarify a fingering, To grant the player the greatest freedom, all exercises appear here in eighth notes. But ft would be un- necessarily dull 10 play them only like that. Therefore the intelligent Saxophone Student (to him 1 turn with these studies!) will suit himself and select all kinds of variants, the more the better. I give here just a few. The player will invent unending variations and combinations and thus pleasantly broaden his sense for rhythm and style. To be a musician is his goal, not an acrobat with fingers. September 5, 1968 Sigurd M. Rascher mL Fingering Fingerings are given here and there; their omission in other places is intentional. Within one group it will often be practical co use the same fingering. Often more than one notation is possible (see No. 33 etc). Since there is a pro and con to each of these, 1 have used now the one, now the other, This might be called inconsistent; it 1s, however, done on purpose because we are not always favored with sconsistency» in real music. Example of reasoning for a certain fingering: Nr. 37 Db is the first tone ina new group. hence rhyth- ‘mically prominent, Avoid therefore here change of register between groups, lest the Db becomes ‘much too prominent, coepoen cecpoeu seen. 4 = Vv Fingersitze Mit Absicht sind Fingersitze nicht dberall angege- ben, Innerhalb einer Gruppe sind sie oft unverin- dert anzuwenden. Oft sind verschiedene Schreibweisen moglich (Nr. 33 etc.). Jede hat ihre Vor- und Nachteile. Darum inabe ich bald die eine, bald die andere angewendet. Dies tat ich da wir auich in wirklicher Musik nicht immer mit Folgerichtigkeit beglinstigt werden, Erklarung seines Fingersatzes: Des ist der erste Ton in der neuen Gruppe, darum rythmisch prominent, Langenwechsel ist ‘deshalb hier 2u vermeiden, um nicht noch mehr Betonung. auf Des zu legen. sk ‘Side Key with second finger right, B Seiten Klappe mit dem rechten Zeigetinger. 3 3 Keep right second finger down, Rechter Zeigefinger bleibt liegen. Keep right middlefinger down. Rechter Mittelfinger bleibt liegen. Many saxophones retain independent action of the spatulae for the left fifth finger. Here itis practical to depress those for Ab and C8 simultaneously. Viele Saxophone bieten unabhangige Bewegung moglichkeit der Tasten fir den linken 5, Finger. Hier ist es praktisch die As und Cis Tasten gleich: zeitig nieder zu dricken. Open C# Offenes Cis like low CB with octave Key wie das tiefe Cis, jedoch mit Oktav Klappe Not all Saxophones offer this possibiltty Nicht alle Saxophone bieten diese MOglichkeit. Common fingering with right Sth finger. Gewohnlicher Fingersatz mit dem rechten 5. Fin- ser. Intentional! Learn to use your left 2nd finger! Absichtlich! Lemme den linken Zeigefinger 2u ge- brauchen!
