Hi Mark! your every where, congrats on that. :) Please tell me, you posted that you used the Music Minus One, Did you take the flute track out of your performance or did you slightly decrease the volume, and play along with it? There were parts where it almost sounded as if there where 2 flutes playing. Almost like a chorus effect. Pretty cool. Also is there an adjustment for the tempo in the program?
@stark1770 Hi, on this recording I played the play along track minus flute over my audio system and played along with it and recorded it on a single Sony mic. I'm not sure where an echo is coming from, unless it is something with youtube or the file being translated. I don't hear an echo playing it here or on the original .mov file. The tempo is just as it is on the MMO CD. They do have another track of it on the CD where it is faster. Thanks for your comments.
@FluteMark Hey there, just listened to this after a week or so, wanted you to know (for what it's worth) I think you did a great job with your performance! This is a tuffy aye? Its refreshing to see an interpretation that is well prepared and polished. Top notch musicianship in your playing. Keep up the great work. I think young flutist bennifit from being able to just type in a few words and get a chance to hear the many various renditions.They can then decide how to shape their own art.:)
Yes, James Galway plays it faster and with simmilar exspression (ok maybe a little precise) as your slower interpretation. But both version makes joy when listening :)
You are amazing! I'm auditioning for the distinguished scholars program on June 1st, and i'm performing this piece. Unfortunately, i haven't had the piece for very long, but i can only hope i perfect it as well as you have!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
xDDD my little sister can play that and she's only in 7th grade O.o She went to audition for something that for musicians that are highly skilled and it's for all of southern california and she made it! xD She had to play bach B minor and i was omg!
fantastic the only thing i would say is. some of the notes were a bit to legato. it's baroque and it's the flute. play most things detatched unless told. that's how it is mostly played
oh my gosh i have been practicing this song for over 3 months now and i am still not that good! that totally rocked! i have to play polonaise and badinerie from suite in B minor for a contest and i just hope that i can get up to ur level! my flute teacher would love me if i was that good! hehe keep up the good work! from a fellow flute!
that was excellent! i am surprised that your face didn't turn the same colour as the wall during that performance. and you play faster than most flautists and so clearly. well done.
Terrific! I played this with the Menuet for Junior Bach Festival this year. It's a great piece and yours is the best rendition of it that I've seen on YouTube thus far - and I've seen a lot of 'em. Thank you for posting this!
I have to say it does look like his fingering is slightly out.But I can only get through the 1st half! But I don't think anyone would be sad enough to claim credit for work that wasn't theres!
wow, you're really good! i love this song. i'm playing this for my solo and ensemble festival in april, but i just got the song, so i'm not very good at it, but you have inspired me. :)
jelously is very common on youtube... whenevr someone comes across with talent people are very quick to judge and say videos have been tampered with etc... ITS PATHETIC.... end of... THE MAN IS GOOD... like it or lump it, but SHUT YOU GOB *please*
Pretty wonderful performance! Might try getting it to sound a little lighter. It sounds forced...like you're just whamming out every note. I can see it in your eyes, it's like you're straining sometimes. Relax and try just letting it happen. Breath support and embouchure have to be really in control but the articulation should just dance and be light. I know I've given you a ton of comments, but I just hope they'll help. You are quite a talent.
You're foolish to write such a comment. As a trained flutist who's been playing this piece for about 16 years, I see that he's fingering every note where it belongs. It would be pretty silly to think he was miming it if he shows proof that all of his fingerings match the flute sound. You shouldn't comment on things you know absolutely NOTHING about.
you are a retard... i bet you don't even play the flute... I KNOW HE IS PLAYING IT, I HAVE THE MUSIC IN FRONT ME! you know nothing if you think he is miming... get a life you jelous little shite
you are absolutly amazing. I'm stunned. O.O I get to play this peice for my solo this year. : ] and im in high school now :]], yes it will be interesting for me to even attempt what you have accieved... anyway you're my hero FluteMark.
Hi FluteMark!! :) I must say that u are a true inspiration... I love this piece and have played it myself on sopraninorecorder which is kinda tough. Thank u for another great vid!
you know, you have a lot of really high quality videos up here (also...you a fan of the baroque =P I notice a pattern..ahha) youre really very good, and whenever I stumble across one of your vids, I know its going to be a good one
By far the best rendition of this piece in youtube . Great work . BTW, I wish to purchase this accompaniment CD. what should I ask for and where would I get it..?
Great tone and technique, but i didn't hear any dynamic contrast at all. While this seems elementary, it would take this piece from decent to proffesional sounding.
It would be hard for him to speed it up when the orchestra is pre-recorded on a CD, wouldn't you say? And the tongue doesn't speed up or slow down the music. The brain does, by telling our fingers, tongue, lungs, lips and ear what tempo to play at. Faster isn't better.
did you know that on this game (forgot what it's called) they played this song REALLY REALLY REALLY fast. they EVEN rapped to it. it was kind of weird. but nonetheless, i like this song!

Mark u did a good job on this piece. I saw James Galway play this live. He was SO fast!! So much that it almost sounded like he was rushing. I know he's a great player but sometimes too much is not so good. You should check out that video of J.G on my viedos and you will see what I mean.
Thanks Elisa, yes, I watched it and it is fast indeed. I heard him play it in Michigan years ago at an autograph session before the concert and he zipped it out unaccompanied. We then went to the concert where he played it again as an encore.
It's hard to find the score for this, as impossible as it seems. I have a library system of over 30 libraries and I can usually find any major score. I ordered a couple things that may or may not be the score to Badinerie. I wanted to try playing it on the violin, since I could never play it on the flute!!!
For score: Search google for "rama-archive" (can't give direct links on replies) and in there search for "Badinerie". You will find complete score for all 7 parts together with midi files.
Thanks for the link. Nice site. A bit limited in selection, but I enjoy the MIDI file, for those pieces I'm not sure how the melody goes. They had Tartini's Art of Bowing. The MIDI was a great help on some parts of it.
Badinerie is so hard! Guess I'll have to practice it a long time!
Sounds like a full orchestra! Not only perfect flute playing, but also perfect video and sound technique! I lost your comments on processing, could you give me the link? Galway-Chat Number? Thanks, R.
I have the same microphone you do, but I can't seem to get it to capture my tone the way I would like when doing video. Any tricks? I suspect you sound even better in person, as these condenser microphones sometimes don't capture our overtones on the flute and gain goes straight for the core of the sound.
Oh, Mark,... that was simply fantastic. Don't ever sell yourself short. Badinerie is a very difficult piece and you just played it flawlessly. This video proves your skill. I commend you highly. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! Until recently, I could not play through this piece without difficulty. The key was working on scales and scale studies. I still have work to do, but I am very glad that I have begun working on the major/minor scale studies.
Have you ever thought about posting a video of you playing without a CD? I would love to hear this Badinerie movement particularly by the flute itself, just to see what the solo sounds like without the orchestra.
Hi, thank you. It measures 114 on my metronome. I hear the pros like Sir James Galway play it more like 120, but I would have to work on it to achieve that tempo. I was limited to the speed of my play along CD which was 114.
You play with pride Sir - and makes me smile. ( :
Good job to you.
I love... that YOU love the music - it is obvious.
