Que maravilha! Grande aula.

Will the new ending for the 1st movement of the Williams Concerto be commercially available in print anytime soon?

[@ThomasHooten]

Hi William, I've asked about that and hope to hear a positive response soon. Thanks for the question!

[@richardsimoneau744]

Thomas Hooten that would definitely be awesome. I love that new ending. Makes it possible to perform the movement by itself.

I like to do Clarke 1 and 2 in my warmup as well. I've always struggled as it gets higher, I lose response and only air comes out. How do you achieve playing Clarke, very softly in the upper range? Is it just time and practice or is there something else I'm missing with my airflow? Thanks for sharing this interview!

Try not to force it. It’s hard to give advice without hearing how it’s not working. Not too much pressure.

@@ThomasHooten Thank you. That makes sense. I've always had pressure issues. It's something I'm consistently having to remind myself not to use a ton of pressure.
