Hi! I''m currently working on the Mozart flute concerto No 2,
K314 in D Major and I was wondering if anyone else is working on/has learned the
first movement. It''s a beautiful piece, but I can''t get the stacatto run
at the end of the first movement with really crisp articulation, which I''ve
always had a problem with. If you''re familiar with this piece- would you
recommend using double tonguing? I tried it and it seems to sound better, but I
realise I should really be able to single tongue at the speeds I''m practising
at. Any suggestions? Thank you [:)] Sarah

Hey, Great piece! There's so much to learn Mozart, and both of
the concertos are great pieces to know and have in your repertoire. I personally
double tongue throughout the whole piece. To work on double tonguing and making
it sound really clean, you may want to practice your scales with double tonguing
and use the same articulation as what is in the Mozart. Make sense? Also, play
with a metronome and make sure that you keep the tempo really steady, and play
it slowly and work up the speed gradually. Good luck with it!

Thanks very much! I had a bit of an experiment today and double
tonguing certainly seems to be the best solution. I'll probably give your
metronome idea a go too; I've tried it with difficult passages noteswise but
the articulation sections could benefit too [:)]

I am working on the same piece! The last part of the first
movement, the allegro aperto ends in a cadenza. The edition I have of it, edited
by Rampal, you can slur alot. But there are many parts where you have to tongue
it. I used touble tongueing. I'm having a lot of trouble getting it light
enough that I acn play it at a fast speed. I've been practicing on scales, and
it alot. Well. good luck! Kaity

does anyone have any breathing suggestions in the last like 3
or 4 lines of the allegro aperto// cadenza? I can never get enough air after the
8th tied to the 16ths and I dont want to end the piece weakly....hmm maybe I
will just learn circular breathing by next week
hahaha I wish.

That's a great piece. I'm currently playing the piece with
the orchestra I'm in. For the first run, I recommend double-tonguing it because
it produces a much clear tone quality, and since it's a concerto, it promotes
that you are the dominant player. Single tonguing the passage would be another
way, however double tonguing the passage would teach you to develop both "Ta"
and "Ka" without having them be bunchy. You might also consider, at lest this is
what I do, is to lean on the C#, after the trill, to give yourself a stable
point when you come off that trill. Have fun with the piece; you treasure it for
the rest of your life.[:)] ~AJ
