Flattement
(Microtone Trill) Fingering Chart for Recorder
Third
Octave: C5 to D5 / F5 to G5
This
fingering chart includes flattement fingerings, which are fingerings designed
for finger vibrato, much like a trill or tremolo but with microtone intervals
(less than a semitone) instead of larger intervals. Holes
to be trilled are indicated in red. When
more than one hole is to be trilled, the holes should be simultaneously covered
and simultaneously uncovered, unless the description says to alternate covering
and uncovering the keys. The fingerings apply to all sizes (sopranino, soprano,
treble/alto, tenor, bass, and great bass) of both English and German recorders
unless specified otherwise. Note that the fingerings apply to the lower set of
notes for C instruments (soprano, tenor, and great bass) and to the upper set
of notes for F instruments (sopranino, treble/alto, and bass).
