A lot of sense in there Barry.
It's easy to forget, if one is struggling with the intricacies of
technique, that a relatively uninformed listener will not actually
give a hoot about closed or open fingering, but *will* respond to
musicality on a macro-level. I have seen in more than one context

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
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
James Galway playing tin whistle used to be alarming,
though the Chieftains taught him a better, more fluid, style
subsequently.
Only heard him doing so once and this was back in the early Cretaceous or
thereabouts.
Your description of the better style as more fluid suggests that he fell

Whilst Fenwickdescribes gracenotes he does not say that one should step
outside the closed fingering rule he has already set out in order to

I come out with this one a few times every year on this subject. :)
Does no harm to repeat it again as, for me, it puts things into perspective.
More years ago than I care to remember, there was an excellent TV
documentary in which the classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin met with an old
