Preface
These three exercises were bom from the lack in
recorder Uterature of material to tackle the typical
finger-technical problems of our instrument. My inten-
tion has been to concentrate as many specific fingering
difficulties as possible in each exercise, without bother-
ing to much about being musically interesting, since I
felt that technique can have a fascination of its own.
Thus you can consider every single measure or group
of measures equally useful as an exercise by itself.
Played in their entirety, though, they are valuable as a
test for prolonged concentration and mere physical
condition.

consider these exercises as "raw material". You can do
with them whatever you think is useful: e. g. add slurs,

change the rhythm, add pauses etc. The repetition sign
at the end of nos. I and III is, of course, optional
(memento mori).
