A blog to document my musical endeavours.
Happy Birthday Daniel Gottlub Türk, born this day 1750
He was an organist, composer and music professor, taught by a student of J. S. Bach.
His most notable contribution to the classical music canon is the Klavierschule, a teaching method for the keyboard.
Couple of exercises from the Trevor Wye book 1
Played slowly with the metronome. Instead of standing I'm sat on a stool with the music on a stand. Much easier on my chest.
I was feeling a bit better today after some blood tests and in the afternoon I picked up my flute, playing some exercises from the Trevor Wye book.
I need to practise long tones and air control.
Happy birthday to Mauro Giuliani and Enrique Granados, born this day 1781 and 1867 respectively.
