[LovKees]

Such a beautiful concerto! Learning it atm for an audition and recital

[MahoRoulete]

@MahoRoulete Shhh....he may find this and come a' trollin.

I'm no flautist, but I've just got to say this: There couldn't be a more perfect Romantic-style concerto for James Galway's style and sound!

(I'm afraid I can't and wouldn't want to join in the extremely technical discussions I see here, sorry.)

[fairyrose444]

Now I am NOT criticizing him, but at 2:31 he plays a different note than what my part says (he plays a C instead of a B). Does he have a different edition or is it a wrong note?

[lolcow]

my edition Breitkopf & Hartel is a C... its correct to me...

[lolcow]

anyway, that part definitely is a C, cos that is an a minor arpeggio. its would sound wierd if it went E A B A G E G... its surely E A C A G E G

[fairyrose444]

Okay, either my edition had a typo or something. It's really weird, cuz that's the same publisher and all... Hmm... I'll ask my teacher tomorrow. ^_^

There are actually many different versions of this concerto. Reinecke actually never formally transcribed this piece. That's why it's rarely performed, because each version is slightly different. Of course there is a chance that he just played a wrong note!!! Perfectly seamless playing though, his interpretation is amazing :)

[fairyrose444]

We discovered what was wrong. My teacher's Breitkopf & Hartel copy came with two versions of the flute part: A and ESt. The ESt is the "correct" version. I like it that it's so rare. That means no one else will be performing it (in competitions and such). :D So yay, Galway didn't play a wrong note. And yeah, it's seamless. I can only dream to play it as well as he. XD

[lolcow]

ahh... i see... i've not seen the autograph of the score before, but its pretty much accepted that the piano reduction of the first edition is the performance choice.

[BlackShinyHeart]

@fairyrose444 that happens to mercadante concerto too if you notice carefully , there are two different versions. Mine has C but you can also find it with B.

[tommasoflute]

@fairyrose444 there are two version of this concert and many notes are different.. at 2.31 you can play C or B. Is the same. Reinecke wrote two version: one is from the flute's solo part, the second is from the orchestral score.

Breitkopf & Hartel has recently published a new edition of this concert thanks the help of german flutist Henrik Wiese.

@fairyrose444 My copy has a B, but a c does sound better.

OMG ... I've been LOOKING FOR THIS in the US for 11 years now!! Thanks a lot!

BTW, I'm not a flutist, but I heard that the original score needs a lot of corrections, that's why nobody seems to play this concerto. Is that right?

[aaltobartok]

Nobody plays it because this is what it sounds like!

What a truly disjointed, awful piece of music. I'm playing this with my school orchestra and I wanted to hear it played well because I thought we were killing it.

It deserves to be killed.

@aaltobartok i'm sorry but who the f**k are you to judge? a member of a school orchestra? lol ok

[sarainess]

@aaltobartok you have some serious problems lol

[akm10293]

this is amazing. His tone is breathtaking...

[schirmed]

Maybe I'm weird, but this sounds sounds like a wooden flute, at least at times...

[wilmusic14]

It's golden actually. Galway has over ten flutes, but this gold one he's playing on in the clip is his favourite :)
