I just looked through some old school things.. and found my old adjudication notes from playing this solo back in junior high with my trumpet.. Loved this song. Got first place too ;) too bad I didn't have youtube then! haha :) Thanks for bringing back memories!

ke bello io ho 13 anni e suono il clarinetto da 3 anni tra qualche giorno devo suonare questo pezzo (ovviamente solo il tema) per il mio saggio!!! comunque come siete bravi vi ammiro tanto

[FerencLiszt]

Grazie, sei molto gentile! Auguri per il tuo saggio!

i forget where.... i think during choir camp in my highschool summer, we performed the polovetzian dance with our chorus and next to John Rutter's Reqiuem score.. it was the most brilliant thing Ive ever done. I am forever in love with this.

[FerencLiszt]

Yes, the original with choir it's a spell!

[didepa]

this is such great effort..we know its difficulties, but should improve! congrats!

[sutphoe]

maybe its me, but I dont think there tone is blended evenly enough.The two should be water and earth:the flute flowing in and out of the clarinets earth rich tone.Beethovens 5th, you'll see what I mean

[adhike06]

great performance

just the pitch bothered me --- i think the flautist and the clarinetist should've spent more time together ;)

[donatagreco]

yes, flute and clarinet are very difficult to put together.. It is usual for a clarinet to cover the sound of the flute..

[dabibbler]

That last note... ARRRGH!!!!

[BandGeekX]

A bit too loud and pitchy, but the song is so beautiful. I understand that putting a clarinet and flute together is a bit tough (I'm a flutist and a clarinetist). But with a bit more practice, the two instruments together can sound lovely. Just keep practicing and work on those high notes. Like the TheSingingFlute said, just bring the volume down so that it's flowing and soft.

Adoro questa musica

grazie Riccardo sei meraviglioso

[FerencLiszt]

Grazie a te, carissima Norma!

[TheSingingFlute]

Great performance, a little pitch and overly forte (I think this should softer and mild, I could just turn my speakers down alot though ^^)

[donatagreco]

the truth is that is very difficult to put together flute and clarinet.. we're going to work on it ;) thanks for your suggestion.

[TheSingingFlute]

Thank you for being understanding. It has been my experience that criticism is hard to take and I find your attitude very positive admirable. You are an amazing flutist and he is an amazing clarinetist (:

[donatagreco]

thank you so much, I'm very glad of your words.. that's why is good to take the good advice ;)
