 Clarion/Altissimo "Break" Question
Author: CarlT 
Date:   2014-10-18 02:35

I'm sure it's been discussed numerous times, but I did a search and didn't find exactly what I was looking for...mainly how to make a smooth transition going over the clarion/altissimo "break", say from the highest clarion B to the next C# (first altissimo note).

Although not as bad as the case cited above, even going from C6 to C#6 is not very smooth, as in all cases, there is an ugly undertone, as well as a hesitation in making the "break". This is especially true when attempting to play at pianissimo.

Oh, and I've tried the half-hole approach, and it didn't work for me, or I'm not doing it correctly.
