Thread Name: Playing Iron legs, on recorder (descant)
Subject: Playing Iron legs, on recorder (descant)
I am trying to play to play Iron Legs in D on a descant recorder. The A part is fine, just needs some practice, but the B arggggh! I need an alternative fingering that takes me from the E'F'E'F' to D'E'D'E' without me dropping the tune or the instrument. The dolmetch trill chart is Ok for C'D'C'D' but then it goes to D'E'D'E' again and the 2 D' fingerings they suggest just don't sound the same on my Aulos (or I'm doing something wrong). Any help for a fumble fingered 'perpetual beginner'? Then when I've got the diddle-diddles right I've got to get the change to diddle-da-da in the last bar but 2 into my head.
