Have you ever heard of playing long tones to strengthen your embochure
and beautify your tone? That is what they are for. Jon Manasse practices
the same sequence of long tones every day for at least 20 minutes, and
he is not a beginner. ANNIE

What would be the point of this excersise? Is this a beginners ex. for
learning to slur into the upper reg?
Is it an advanced ex. to learn control of the decrescendo?

I can understand Keith Stein`s ex. leaping from low to altissimo, but not so
clear on the above decrescendo bit.

I`m in your hands - - - -

I have always been taught crescendo & "diminuendo", not decrescendo. Is
decrescendo a real word, or an Americanised corruption? (Perhaps the Irish
corrupted it first, or the Scots, or even the Picts). For someone this side
of the plate fault to use "decrescendo", has got me all wound up,
frustrated, and somewhat angry, as it is a horrible, horrid word, don`t you
agree?
