I am amazed with the that comfort some flutists (like Keith Wright, the flutist on the recording I linked to) have with extended techniques. I never got beyond singing and playing at the same time and the easy multiphonics that can be made by using finger combinations.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-50909360534593569882007-06-01T21:00:00.000-05:002007-06-01T21:00:00.000-05:00Robert Dick gave a talk at Stony Brook when I was ...Robert Dick gave a talk at Stony Brook when I was in grad school there; he was pretty amazing. I'm sorry, all these years later, that I didn't pick up his books and play around with the techniques he had developed.<BR/><BR/>His playing was so, so different from the French school standard; it opened my eyes up to possibilities beyond beautiful tone.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.com
