freiesummenlippenübungen?

Context? I think the word is misspelled and one correction loosely suggests free or available embouchure(lip) exercises. Maybe or maybe not.

it could mean "free buzzing" but it depends on the context.....

Indeed, most likely means "free buzzing"

No context. It is the only thing at the top of the page of exercises.

I have surmised based upon the exercises and everyone's help that it means "free buzzing lip exercises".

Thanks!

Duh! "at the top of the page of exercises" IS the context!

German language tends to create (very) long words sometimes, but this word does not exist. If you wanted to express that (free lip buzzing exercises) in german, it could be "Übungen mit freiem Lippensummen" or "freie Lippen-Summ-Übungen", or similar, but not in one word.

I was taking context as the literal common definition. "The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning." Since it wasn't part of a sentence, there can be no context in this setting.

I do see now how it could have been interpreted as "the setting", but that's not how I read it at the time.

Thank you, sir. I wonder if this was a poor attempt on someone else's part to translate or a fellow Deutchslander trying to make a funny.
