Legato...
Hi Michel,
Anything that can make it easier for my players is allowed. And I want them to play as much legato as possible.
I want it to be played this fast, but the musicians can slow down the tempo, suitable to their capacity. No problem for me!
The musicians are free to articulate "ad libidium", and can decide among themselves how loud or quiet they want to perform. So those who like my piece are in other words free to decide how to proceed.
Right now I'm having contact with a professional woodwind player, who is giving me advices.
This piece has already been updated about 20 times before I uploaded it here on YC. In the beginning, the first versions had passages of the oboe that were to low notated for this kind of speed. He gave me the advice to add an english horn for the lower parts.
He also told me that Prokovief used the low oboe register to portray a "duck", which is why I have given it the title, "The Duck Concerto".
Regards,
Fred
