These three exercises were born from the lack in recorder literature of material to tackle the typical finger-technical problems of our instrument. My intention has been to concentrate as many specific fingering difficulties as possibe in each exercise; without bothering too 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.
