Falset (Music)



Falset is the latitude for a brasswind player's pitch-control of a harmonic, while only just sufficient in middle and high registers to allow for care over intonation, becomes in the low register very wide in the flattening direction; indeed without this the conventional system of three valves would have had a very limited future owing to the sharpness of the valve combinations required by the low register. At H2 the pitch can sometimes be dropped by a fourth or more by means of what is often termed 'loose-lipping', a sort of dragging of embouchure which produces 'facticious' pitches not allowed for by the simple theory of the harmonic series.
