Come Guess Me This Riddle - Paddy's Panacea

Image
The Basic Impetus  An a-capela version of a song known by various titles, but in this case, "The Humours of Whiskey" as sung by Hozier was pushed to me one night by the Facebook algorithm. It made a deep impression, and I decided I wanted to learn the tune on violin. This sent me down a long and twisting rabbit hole.  Here is a link to the Hozier version -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ-UItNBoMw  .

Embouchure - is not a puckering of the lips, nor a whistle blowing position. It's a little pronouncing the letter "T". A slight tension at the corners of the mouth. The embouchure is like a small grain of rice in the center of otherwise sealed (in a relaxed way) lips.  3. Good posture - see point 1. 4. A feeling of air moving into your mouth is dammed in (like water) by your lips and is under controlled release. Maybe this is like my "puffing" or "spouting" when ...
