Sorry, Sawallisch does not conduct any more. Mehta let me do
it also, but this was not the well known high e3 of the
Domestica, it was in the final chord.
For Bach Haydn´s high stuff, there is never a need for any
blast. All must be very delicate with light sound. Use a
deep mouthpiece to compensate for the loss on sound quality
when using the descant. But the descant use will benefit
with the silvery light sound.
For a real blast on high c or d or e, well, do it with
compressed air, lung stomach (diaphragm) working as a
compressor on the car. Precompress the air let it out in
a very strong but lip controlled airstream, but do not pump
the air through the instrument. If you run out of air after
one second, something is wrong. Well, it hurts the lips
(burning), if you play very high very loud, special if you
practise that a lot.

The only time you should need to really blast a note that
high is at the end of Symphonia Domestica if Sawallisch is
conducting.

Hi all,
I wonder : when I play in extra high register ( playing D or
E is not that rare in my orchestra) I usualy use a very
concetrated sound ,which does the job for Bach , Haydn and
any other chamber stuff . When I try to blast in this range
the note would not hold for more then a second - the strong
and fast air stream would simply split the small aperture
needed. What do you you do when you want to blast in notes
above high C?
