Published by Leonard E. Lopatin (A0.1463870). At one time, Claude Debussy’s approach to tonality and color was novel, even radical. Today, his Prélude à l’Après-Midi d’un Faune, is one of the most beloved works in the repertoire, certainly among flutists. That being the case, we’re likely to have a certain color and texture in mind when we play the flute part. So, what can we do to make our practice of this familiar piece more interesting? How about trying to achieve those desired qualities while playing it in different keys or in the extreme high and extreme low registers?You’re not likely to produce the usual languid, transparent sonority if you start the famous opening solo on high F sharp, but there is much to be learned by trying to do just that. Then, when you return to the original tonality, you may find that you have greater command of the passage’s tone color and quality than you’ve ever had before!
