Vliv současných flétnových technik na kvalitu tónu

Abstract

This project falls within the area of developing innovative methods in teaching the flute. It focuses on search and application of types of extended techniques of sound production that may contribute to the creative de- velopment of sonority of the students. The research has been conducted systematically with the aim to deepen the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the students, learn the types of techniques and their symbols, and add them to their daily studies. For this purpose, different compositions and excerpts of compositions employing various types of extended techniques have been selected and applied to resolve effectively various problems in sound production and result in a more grounded use of sonority in the interpretation of contemporary music, as well as music of other historical eras. This objective gains its relevance following the implementation, today unavoidable, of the ancient music movement; this movement decisively transformed the interpretation of baroque and classi- cal music „imposing“ on the interpreters, who play on modern instruments, the challenge of finding the sound, wording and expressive resources suitable to the expression and rhetoric of these styles of music. Through auditory analysis and advanced methods of sound analysis was possible to understand and explain the effects of the extended techniques in the modification of the diaphragm support, throat and embouchure, and the respective sound and musical results.
