Abstract

Expressive techniques have great importance in producing music in the appropriate form and content for each period and each author. Therefore, awareness of them is one of the most important factors affecting the proper production of musical work. Therefore, there have been many attempts that dealt with the development of the flute instrument through different ages.Controlling the largest number of holes with only nine fingers and defining the characteristics of the sound emanating from the machine in a scientific manner allowed access to the performance of the new expressive techniques in different sound layers and more neatly with the control of sound color, sound intensity and diversity in performance in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Where modern artistic trends and doctrines have been affected by scientific and technological development and have developed expressive techniques that reflect this development and the machine volunteers to express these trends and perform them, such as polyphony, vocal coloring, tongue flutter, sound sliding and sound vibration, which must be realized and understood in practical terms in fingering Techniques gestures and the multiplicity of their differences in the different vocal layers. And controlling the embouchure during performance, and from a scientific point of view, realizing the physical changes of the air column inside the machine with attention to the quality and quality of the outgoing tone. Therefore, the researcher found about problem that is necessary to develop the scientific and practical capabilities of the student through his study of the expressive techniques developed in the compositions of the twentieth century for the flute by Robert Dick.The aim of the research is to identify the nature of the performance of expressive techniques in the twentieth century in general and Robert Dick in particular through the techniques found in the Beyond the Light.This objective’s research has followed the analytical descriptive approach, and I have reached a results, which is to benefit from these techniques and to identify how to perform them and their characteristics in the correct manner to take advantage of them to reach a high level of sound control and quality when issuing tones in a high technical way through the performance of this musical composition, and the researcher recommends paying attention to teaching Expressive techniques of the twentieth century and the learner's knowledge of them and ways to write them down for ease of performance.
