Silke plays Popp´s Rhapsody (very fast at end)

[PunkRock0015]

Great!! I'm 15, i'm playing this song but i can't do it faster as you O_O

Very beautiful rhapsody...

Vive Popp et vive la flûte traversière!!

[Dorothy12401]

Úgy imádom *-* <3

[carfit1]

Conratulation. You are very very ... good. Keep going on like this. This is your instrument. wish i can play like you. (just keep in mind to improve the very high and low tones, you can give them more tonality).

thumbs up for this girl

[crazyforcocoa101]

Bravo! Very beautiful tone. This was one of the best flute solos I have ever heard. You are very talented and pretty!

[gerffalves]

: O

[littlehugbear]

Wow. Very good, and indeed very talented girl. I'll never be able to be like that with my (lack) of it.

[Rexicano]

A lot of excess tension in her hand;

the G sharp key finger is sometimes pulled way back from the flute.

The sound also is forced as well as the vibrato.

The music, for me is an example of the worst kind of Classical music.

Not interesting in the least; something a flute teacher assigns to show technique but not interesting musical ideas. Reminds me a Silent Movie music meant to keep the audience awake by poking at them.

So many great French pieces to chose from...or Bach.

[veronica36862]

That was amazing. I'm a Music Ed major and I play flute and was on here looking for something to play for my next recital performance and I was just blown away. That was GREAT!!! I think I found the piece. Thanks for the great recording :)

[jazzflutist]

Awesome accompanist.

[jazzflutist]

She has a subtle "quiver" (like a fast vibrato) on her long notes - almost inaudible, but you can hear it. I love her special "vibrato", and her playing. Well, I must like it since I've played this more than any video on YouTube so far ... I love the way she dances with the flute too - absolutely beautiful. She must have quite the teacher! (She was probably Moyse's teacher in a former life).

[jazzflutist]

I'd love to hear some more pieces from Silke if possible. Even duets with you and her. Would also like to hear more about tone production in general. Great student, and teacher!

[jazzflutist]

I'm amazed. Very beautiful. Nice piece too.

[antonisflute]

bravo, bravo.......to both of you.

[skouizette]

good job^^

[peace123445]

why she swaying? ):

[anigirl00]

To distrubute the air in the flute evenly.

[ellvar]

you have to sway around, it's not possible to play standing still, I've tried

[azngurl321]

It just shows how into the music she's in. I don't think the swaying is relevant to air distribution.

[sakibulhaque]

must she sway like that to play?

[zigge28]

actully she have to. Its much more esy to get into the song when you swaying.

When you hold the flute in different positions you get different sounds.

I think she playes very good.

This song is very hard to play, becausee the doble thung.

[rainbowmaddness]

she sounds amazing. i was wondering where i can find this piece? i've looked for it and don't have any luck finding it.

[zigge28]

If you have a teache, ask he/she. I got this piece of my teacher from Hungary. Maby you'll find it on a european internet side, or ask someone in a music store, if they will take in for you.

[jsiegwald]

Don't know, but certainly with a B foot joint !

[chocoabuddha]

what kind of flute is she playing?

[mmcoopstar]

really great playing

[monkers16]

That was excellent! Good Job, you should definatley look at becoming a professional :)

[teknine17]

[tbanksy]

[misszindependent]

[luthech]

[italyhonney89]

jaaaaaaaaaa, die silke mein schatzyyyyyyyy, geil!!!!!!!!! voll schöööönn:))))) hdgggdll, kiss

[diidi91]

Has anyone notes to this piece?

[karloavenido]

Wondeful.

[cancanancan]

i loveeeee the piccolo flutes. i wish i had one. they are tooooooo expensive. she plays fantastic!!!!!

[CorporateAmericaChil]

To everyone who says that she's moving to much, it's very easy to get caught up in what your doing and move without knowing it. I was doing it today at Solo and Ensemble and I was taught not to move when I play.

[carolopes1]

Lindo! Parece que o piano está brigando com a flauta e depois fazem as pazes.rs

Muito bom!

[ROTINPIECES]

how does she tut like that?

[Meryysia]

śliiicznie ;)

[Meryysia]

śliiicznie ;)

[kissebb]

great

[terrier126]

who cares how much she moves, it's about the music, quit watching, and start listening

[jazzflutist]

@terrier126 : Actually, she moves very nicely - like a dancer - pleasant to watch.  The actual playing is superb.

[flautistextrodanaire]

You play very well but whats up with the moves?

[rachthebandgeek]

lol, all my friends say i move too much.

but she beats me.

xD

shes amazing.

:D

yay flute!

[BMBOY89]

you are a verry butifel girl

[jenni0509]

she is extremely good... but i agre e that she moves too much.. lol

[yaoigurl08]

I agree as well, but very well played!!

[HeatherWitch94]

the piano player is hott!!

=D

[magicrevealed2k7]

She's so good! The only thing is that she swings her flute round in circles as she plays, I know she has emotion but it's slightly to much!

[Stanzi1206]

Wonderful:) It's not easy:) grat!

[HeatherWitch94]

i am playing this piece at a recital in january!!!

listening you helped me with my musicality

[tetsuo1]

WOW! you are soooo good!!!!!

[michael4lif]

this song is beatiful and she plays good

[caitylin8330]

where did you find this music?

[xminimoonx]

i love this song! is there any way that the music can be found online?

[jadorth111]

very enjoyable

[loganatberneunion]

that was amazing.i cant believe you can play like that.

[rambopussycat]

GORGEOUS!!! beautiful play. i myself play flute for like 13 years. I played allmost everything of classics, new age.... keep goin on, you sound superb!!

[mike81188]

What is the name of that song? Hungarian rhapsody is by Liszt. That was a beautiful performance.

[kcpayton]

Very well done. Very clean crisp stacatto. I predict this girl will be a pro some day.

[JSBHK]

I am 12 now, do you think I can be like her in 3 years time? with my current skill.

[SeriousFluteMan]

Hello JSBHK!

I watched your uploads and I can see that you are very talented and you play very good considering your age. You do not write if you have a flute teacher, but I assume so. If you keep up your excitement about the flute and put a lot of time and energy into (intelligent) practising then I am sure you will make it in the music world. Tell me if I can be helpful for you.

[JSBHK]

Thanks for your advice, yes I have a teacher, but my progress is very slow, I can't express my music feeling with my flute, I think I need to practice basics more, you are a very good flute teacher!

[SeriousFluteMan]

I have some unique ideas about getting a clear, big and flexible sound in a very short time and also other very practical ideas to attack technical problems on the flute.

Best wishes from Germany,

Guenther Johannes Schmitz

[JSBHK]

very interesting, my low notes are weak, high notes are sharp, I can use your advice if you will. Many Thanks!

[JSBHK]

awesome, she is indeed very dedicated to music.

[peripari]

beautiful music

[frenchflautista]

awesome!

yay for aspiring flute professionals [that can actually play].

[tubaingunn]

well done! How old is she?

[SeriousFluteMan]

15 years she counts

all information in the text above

[lietzen]

Very nice, that rocks.

[James668899]

Well done. Great duet. Awesome flute player.

[deinakun]

Very nice. What flute does she play on?

[SeriousFluteMan]

she plays a Yamaha student flute with a silver headjoint and golden lip plate by Harry Gosse, Germany
