Performance Guide:
This beautiful Furstenau etude should be expressively performed with a beautiful tone, accurate rhythm, attention to the accidentals, good intonation and stylistically-executed ornaments. The pulse should be felt by the quarter note with four beats to the measure. A full, vibrant sound and musical maturity with some freedom of ebb and flow should be foremost in importance with this etude.
From the beginning, practice with a metronome on the eighth note as well as the quarter note to ensure the accuracy of the subdivision. Experiment with slight rubato to give yourself freedom of expression and room to breathe. Follow the indicated dynamic markings which can be quite unexpected. Many books such as the Rubank "Advanced Method for Flute" have good instructions for ornaments. It is acceptable to place the gruppetto on all quarter notes (mm. 6, 14, 24, 32, 35, 40) on the 2nd eighth note of the beat. For the turns on the dotted eighth notes (mm. 19, 20), it is acceptable to place the turn on the 2nd 16th of the beat so that the rhythm of the entire beat is a 16th-32nd note triplet-16th-16th. All ornaments should be slurred.
Remain diligent with the correct fingerings for middle D and E-flat (the 1st finger left hand must be lifted). The thumb B-flat fingering can enhance the technical ease of the etude, but remember to remove it for B-naturals and high G-flats. Breaths can be taken during rests and in other musical places, if needed. Customize a musically artistic breathing plan that suits you and practice your plan. Give yourself adequate opportunities to inhale enough air so you can play with a beautiful tone through the etude. Although most of the piece is slurred, pay attention to those notes which are to be articulated and use a legato-style tongue.
Terms:
Adagio - at a slow tempo
Con espressione - with expression
Dolce - sweetly
Cresc. - crescendo, gradually increasing in volume
Dim. - diminuendo, gradually decreasing in volume
