Can someone lecture on the evolution of whistle playing?
Okay, I don’t have any examples for show-and-tell, but I’ve noticed in very old recordings of whistle playing that there’s a lot of tonguing and very little of the long legato that we hear today. Is this something that changed radically over a generation or two, or have I just stumbled upon some old unrepresentative oddities? Surely somebody here can hold forth on the evolution of whistle playing.
