My teacher is not in town for a few days, and I have a really simple question.
I've been practicing from Klose's "68 Exercises of Mechanism" (pp. 16-17) for some time now, and I have, quite possibly, wrongfully assumed that I should be "slurring" these exercises.
I thought I should slur them because of the long, curved markings written above/below the exercises. I have since determined that these are not necessarily slur marks, but phrase marks, right?
So, does that mean that I should be "tonguing" these exercises, or was it meant that I should still be slurring them?
Maybe I should be doing it both ways...slurring once, then tonguing. What do you think?
I need to edit my post as follows:
I also play out of David Hite's "Melodious and Progressive Studies", Book I. In there are several "phrasing" marks that also have staccato dots above the notes, and that is REALLY throwing me off. I did not find this in Klose...only in the David Hite book; however there are many instances of this in the Hite book. So how are these phrases played???
I appreciate your advice on this, and pardon me for being so dumb.
