Clarke Characteristic Studies

loweredsixth · 07-02-2005, 12:25 AM

Mr. Laureano (or anyone else that can help),

I'm working on the Clarke Characteristic Study #1 (C Major), and I have a question.

Is it considered "okay" to stop and take a breath for a beat (momentarily pausing the etude) at some of the breath marks? I've never heard anyone perform these things, and this one is especially jam-packed with notes all the way through.

What do you think?

Thanks

Joe Lewis

LS,

Of course. The study is for you to use as you see fit. Don't ignore a potential challenge but always be realistic. Your sound should always be true not suffering from lack of air.
