The use of harmonics will be found to facilitate the execution of passages similar to the foregoing, and the pupil is stronglyrecommended to study them attentively. From the specimen given above, the pupil will see what can be done by their use; andwhenever a difficult passage occurs, he may depend on the harmonics to help him out of the difficulty. As the harmonics de-pend on the management of the embouchure, and not on the fingering, those with the greatest power in their lips will succeedbetter with the harmonics than those whose embouchure is weak. OF DOUBLE TONGUEING. Double tongueing is considered an essential in the art of flute playing, and many passages cannot well be executed without re-sorting to this method of performing them. It is true, there are some who profess to play the most difficult and rapid music,by tipping every note; but the instances are very rare. The execution by tipping, is very difficult to perform perfectly; anddouble tongueing is almost universally the
