Thanks Phillip, I have exactly the same score. If your version sounds similar to the above then you'll have done very well. I can play it, I just need to stop smoking (had a lousy month!) and smooth out the rough edges.
I should be ready by my performance in 7/7

Fantastic rendition. I wanna get some of those clothes too. Imagine busking in a tourist hotspot wearing one of those!

I forgot something: I used to use TKT for triolets in Western music, but triolets are quite rare in Chinese traditional music, so I actually use TTK as triple tonguing. It's a beautiful southern school piece. I use the TTK for my baroque pieces (Quantz). I couldn't quite fit it into this A-B-A schema for I tend to do: 6 5 6 7 6 5 6 7 3 5 6 5 and 3 5 3 2 3535 3535 Di Dil Di De Di Dil Di De Di Dil Di De Di Dil Di De etc Hmm. Am I doing it wrong? I find the Di-dil Di-De softer than the harsher northern frictative tonguing, but maybe it's not audible to a listener? |

Huh? Xindi I always thought that tonguing, the TU and KU must have the same strength put into it so that the sound will be nice and even... for the di dil di de, I can't really mange it, though it is more smooth on the tongue. Can you kindly advice me on this?

Can you kindly advice me on this? Oh no. I don't really know either. Not had proper flute lessons since grade school :/ Quantz in his seminal masterpiece, 'On playing the flute', details that there are regional accent variations; a 'Tu' or 'Te' in England sounds very different from 'Tu' or 'Te' in Germany. He also details that the tonguing technique varies dramatically for instruments - like the recorder - which is a soft instrument, can be prone to harsh tonguing just by 'tu' 'tu' 'tu'. He seems these as onomatopoiec - the T or the D is less important, than the action of touching the roof of the palate with the tongue. I think (not sure?) you're referring to attack strength on the note: yes if it is too soft, then it can sound like a 'ppffffttt!' if not tongued strongly. If you push your tongue forward on 'di de' 'dil de', this is predominantly a velar movement, and should give you more than enough attack on the notes. Before trying 'Di dil di de', try 'di de'...'di de' slowly. If you tongue 'Te te te te' really fast, and then converting it to 'De de de de', you will notice your lower jaw rocking up and down like a yo-yo more in the first, and less in the second. I find 'Di dil di de' smoother, but be warned ... it could be that I'm just lazy! Other more professionally schooled or taught flute players (well, schooled this century  ) would be better at clarifying. I haven't read the Quantz book for sometime, and its bias is strongly in the baroque flute. |
