Falsetto Flautando
|
Falsetto Flautando, also know as Harmonic-Specific Flautando, is technique that involves the careful placement of the bow on a node point as it relates to a fingered pitch, then drawn without weight. When correctly achieved, the result will produce a harmonic plus a small amount of fundamental pitch.
Various partials of the relevant series can be activated though it is most effective if the octave (2nd partial) is used, which produces a pitch an octave higher. Other pitches correspond to the harmonic series. The technique works best with a legato articulation and is easiest to perform when used in scalic passages. Dynamic Range: pp-f Difficulty: 3-5 Special Notes: Difficult over wide intervals. The accuracy of reproducing the higher partials of the harmonic series diminishes as they ascend and become more like Timbiral Multiphonics. |
