Please give me a hint. Which tonguing technique is "This tonguing technique"? Is
it the pre-fingering method mentioned on this list, or the one in Bonade's book,
or are they the same? I'm confused.

interesting story, even though he admits that he doesn't know if it's true or
not. Bonade was playing with the San Francisco Opera(I think). An accomplished
basoonist screwed up a fast articulated passage and was subsequently fired.
This scared Bonade, so he tried to think of a way so that this would never be an
issue. And he came up with this technique. This story sounds too fake to the
two of us

make a conscious point in doing so. The best studies seems to be exercise 5
from part 2 of the Klose book and some of the early Rose studies(out of 40).
