Description
Azure / Brief Description & Pre-Listening
This composition in the key of D major, employs the “Harmonics” technique introduced in “Lesson 7”. A melody is initially performed with both “Natural” and “Artificial” harmonics, supported by an accompaniment of regular notes. It is then repeated using normal tones, leading to a conclusion once again made up of harmonics. For a more gradual approach to mastering this piece, studying the exercises in “Lesson 7” is essential. These can be downloaded from the “PDF Music Score Exercises / Lessons 1–8 / Instructions” sub-menu. Additional support is provided by listening to the corresponding exercises in the “MP3 Exercises / Lessons 1–8” section. A special tuning, different from the standard one, is used here. For more theoretical and technical details on “Open Tunings” please refer to the instructions at the beginning of “Lesson 8”. The score, which faithfully mirrors this recording, is available for download in the “PDF Music Score Pieces” sub-menu.
