The diamond note ad. the start of each measure is the only fingering tobe used throughout the measure. This exercise pro fa good framework for intonation, as the upper note of each octave and the lower of each fifth gen: lated by the same fingering should be identical in pitch.

Follow the Indications for the angle of the flute carefully and work at very low dynamic levels except for intervals that require that the flute be turned out radically. A rock steady alr stream, without any vibrato at all, is needed to play the intervals that are played with the flute turned inwards. These sonortios are delicate, and will help the player to develop very fine control of the focus and direction of the air stream Exercise L presents the pitches and intervals yielded by each fingering and these multiphonics are inter. mixed in exercise M J=40-60 pp wo Exercise L vem 3 ae od loc & Ny * #2 fo da Btedco debicd cS cao.cclece(s “g “B 34 ng ae sé 28 5 e,ccleeeis I EEE TET SS eeo ae g ig mp mf f mp P Pp Sele So em Se SWS ef mim fmf mpExercise M J oeelese(=The following exercises involve regular fingerings from the flute’s third octave, which produce ‘multiphonics with wide dynamic ranges.

Production of these intervals is quite straight forward, and the practice procedures Outlised eartier in this chapter should be followed. The very wide intervals in exercise O, however, have a production tect: nique of their own, After finding the embouchure position for the lower note, keep the jaw in position for tre ow pitch and stretch the lips far back while greatly increasing the alr speed, and the upper note will so skipping the pitch normally found between the two notes. This motion is contrary to Standard tone produc tion, but is a very good exercise for the stvengih and flexibilily ofthe ips : Lastly exercise P gives the mulliphanics produced by the regular ingerings of ER.
