Added by alastair-lewis, 17 Aug 2011 Donate to Lewis, AlastairThis piece has a somewhat unusual time signature of 9/8. It has a quick tempo of Allegro. The music is in the key of G major and the total duration is 2 minutes. This music was written as a self-accompanied work, as such the underlying harmonic structure is built into the melody. Some other distinctive features include an abundance of chromatic notes, changes in tempo such as rubato and accelerando, and dramatic fermata. The recorder is a woodwind instrument and member of the family known as fipple flutes or internal duct flutes. The fipple or block is a wooden plug found at the mouth of the instrument. This plug constricts the air as the player blows into the end of the instrument. There are holes for seven fingers, with the lower one or two often doubled to facilitate the production of semi-tones. There is also a hole for the thumb of the uppermost hand. | |||||
