Glide & Snap (Flute)

Glide & Snap is a striking, modern etude designed to push the boundaries of articulation and physical control. Written entirely within a strictly confined single-octave range, this piece removes the distraction of extreme register leaps, forcing the performer to focus purely on tone quality and rhythmic precision. The music demands a rigorous, instantaneous shift between fluid, sweeping legatos ("glide") and sharp, percussive staccatos ("snap").
