This festival was first curated by Benjamin Britten and the Amadeus Quartet as the British- German Music Days, then later as the (Elmau) Music Festival, and finally as the Chamber Music week, which we celebrate to this day. In the 1930s, a Week of Chamber Music was introduced, which since 1957 has been held annually in January ever since. German and Baroque fingerings are presented for the F's and F#'s.3 100 YEARS OF SCHLOSS ELMAU 100 YEARS OF CHAMBER MUSIC JANUARY 62 TH CHAMBER MUSIC SCHLOSS ELMAU featuring CHAD HOOPES & MÜNCHENER KAMMERORCHESTER MARTIN STADTFELD JAN VOGLER Music has been part of Schloss Elmau since the beginning: In our first year 1916 Schubert s String Quintet was performed at Christmas, and nearly 100 concerts were performed in our concert hall which was built expressly for purpose of music.

There is a trill fingering table, but no standard fingering table each note gets a fingering diagram as it is introduced. The full range (written as C4 to F6) is introduced, as are trills, mordents, and Baroque grace notes. The standard alternate fingerings for B4 and E5 are introduced and explored right away, as are several other tuning-based alternate fingerings. From the beginning, Helmut Monkemeyer instructs the player to use different articulations and subdivisions on certain excercises. This method is, as one would expect from a German method written in the 1960's, focused on creating serious performers. There are many duets, a few of which require an F instrument (or wider-ranged C instrument such as a violin.) It can also be used as a supplement to other individual methods, as it includes many purposefully tricky technical passages, plus numerous enjoyable German folk tunes, chorales, and musical excerpts from the Renaissance to early Classical period. It moves rather quickly, does not teach music-reading, and advances to an upper intemediate/advanced level of playing. This classic soprano/tenor recorder method from Moeck Verlag (full German title: Das Spiel auf der Sopran Blockflote oder Tenor-Blockflote, Teil 1 : Grundlehrgang) is ideal for adults and motivated students who have a basic knowledge of music-reading, or who are working individually with a teacher.
