 Perhaps economic hard times can serve as nourishment for the creative force, but not always. That grist for the creative mill necessary for the traction of progress takes many forms: economics, family, love, and health or just about any other aspect of life that we allow to become obsessive. What would Shakespeare have been without the tensions of love, or Hemingway and Mahler without their obsession with death?

The following five essays, The Corporal Quartet, Breathing, Embouchure is a verb, Articulation and Fingering are really one five part article and, as in the corporal quartet, they are most efficient when working together. I would be very pleased if this set of pedagogical essays is useful to any readers.

 What was it that Luciano Pavarotti and Mistislav Rostoprovich had in common? What is the special quality that helps Christian Lindberg and Øystein Baadsvik be world-class soloists and has helped Benjamin Pierce to become an amazing frequent winner of competitions? Of course, the primary common denominator is that all these players are superb musicians and artists. But further, they all possess the ability to produce a resonant, vibrant, high energy, warm and clear pianissimo. They are able to perform with drama and intensity at a musical whisper.

 "TIBALT OYYLANT: 30s, joyous, bubbly, plays Carnival of Venice on tuba for one of his college tuba students. This is an almost impossible piece to play on the trumpet; on tuba, it's almost stupid. But Tibalt is one of the world's best tuba players and he delights in the technical difficulty. The student has a huge smile on his face watching Tibalt play. Tibalt takes a deep breath, but suddenly coughs violently, blood squirting out of the corners of his mouth. As he attempts to hold it in, the blood forcefully goes into the tuba and sprays out the bell end. And Tibalt tumbles awkwardly onto the tuba...dead." |
