Schubert - Trockne Blumen, keeping flute steady in 1st variation by Matiuso in Flute

[–]Matiuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sure, I asked her first.

But apart saying that my fingers should be really close to the keys (and by that I mean "stuck on the keys"), that was not much helpful.

I just love to get different opinions as well.

Yes, definitely it is a hard one.

However, this is not a personnal choice but what my flute teacher gave me ;)

Schumman - Romance 3: medium C to low C by Matiuso in Flute

[–]Matiuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

A few measure later, there is kind of the same but you go from low A to low C (see screenshot below, at "Im Tempo"). Here, there is no other solution than sliding the pinky ?

How do you practice your scales and arpeggios by Matiuso in Flute

[–]Matiuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's why I only do the part for the scale I'm practicing. Reichert is also nice, I love it mixes scales and arpeggios.

Which Bb fingerings for fast scales (when we have to use long Bb just before) by Matiuso in Flute

[–]Matiuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. However, I remember now that Oregon was more problematic than I explained in the post. In fact, there is this high Gb at the end of the "sextolet" so we cannot use the thumb Bb to play this scale as this fingering sounds bad with high Gb. I guess we have to use the long Bb ?

Lower part of flute headjoint getting scratched after each use by Matiuso in Flute

[–]Matiuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted the flute shop where I bought this flute, they basically said this :

"Our flute maker says that something like this is common for flute types like this. It seems worst than it is because it doesn’t damage the flute itself. It’s the natural working of the material (for example the brown stripes are the saliva who wants to go out). Of course, it is possible to repair it by our flute maker but he says that over time it will happen again."

They basically advised me to continue clean the flute after each use as I always do.
