| articulation
Hey Manny,
We've talked about tongue before and the syllable "TOOH" that should be used in all registers, but I have a problem with clarity in my articulation. I'm not sure if you noticed anything when I played for you on the 26th, but I recorded a CD for a camp this summer of excerpts (Pictures, Mahler 5, Don Juan, etc..) and I sent it out ot teachers of mine in the past and they all commented on the "POP" I need to have at the start of my notes. Note necessarily an accent but a pop. Now, what I'm wondering is if that "POP" is an air issue or a tongue issue, or just a paying attension to it more when I play issue. What can I do to fix it considering that excerpts like Petroushka HAVE to have that pop to it....
