Hi all,
I seem to be missing out on some of the posts on this subject.
However, futher to the Fenwick gracing advice I've checked the 1931 reprint
as well as my 1974 edition and it has the following words below the section
on stacccato;
"The learner should note that the staccato style of playing should not be
overdone.
Excessive cutting of the notes though at times lending a meretricious
brilliance to a performance,
is not in accordance with good small-pipe style"
It is interesting that this was left out of the '74 reprint.
Cheers,
Dave
