Re: Nicolas Baldeyrou's Articulation

My guess is that Baldeyrou is single tonguing in his video, a) because it isn't really that fast, and b) because he tongues many of the high clarion notes.

Amaury Viduvier was mentioned, and in his video I guess he's double tonguing. It's faster, and he never tongues high clarion runs.

The quality / sound of single tonguing can vary a lot. Drucker alluded to that in on online interview. He was asked for a tip on how to increase articulation speed, and he actually answered a better question, saying you have to choose the kind of articulation that's suited to the music. Compare his playing of the rapid articulation section in the Nielsen Concerto with that of Sabine Meyer in the same passage (both performances are available online, I believe.)
