@swizsticks i think shes just trying to use vibrato.thts what the waver sound is. but she could be a little nervous to because her vibrato sounds a little un even,but she did a great job
Drop the shy modesty. You have excellent intonation and execution and what it takes to make it more than a hobby. Keep going, you'll be a professional in no time. Absolutely nothing to be embarassed about. Unless someone really knows this piece or has the sheet music in their hands, they'd have no clue you made a mistake at all! Lovely Job!!
u did good all except for not holdin it up.but otherwise osum job! ive been playin since 6th grade n now im goin in to 8th. if i do say so myself, im pretty good...lol ya... first chair for a whole semester.i think tht qualifies as good lol.
SHE IS AMAZING!!! I just started flute but you are a great role model becuz when I grow a little older and have more experience with flute I would love to play like you...keep it up you are great!
good job, but make sure you open up your mouth a little more for those high notes, people say to pinch to get high notes, but you actually don't because then you get a bad pinchy sound.
I think for it only being a hobby you did really well. In my humble opinion I think there was a little bit too much mushrooming in the beginning. That is when you continue to go from loud to soft too on almost every note. Also the long breaks are very distracting, and the tempo is a unsteady. The faster part however sounds very nice. Nothing to be ashamed. Again tempo is in question, i think you went overboard with the leway given to soloist.A few minor things but still a very good performance.
very good playing.. just a little suggestions, i think it would sound more whole if you had played high G for longer in 2:36 and also in 0:20 go easy on those descending notes, it would sound nicer if you had tongued them more gently? but other than those it was really really good.. beautiful intonation.. what headjoint you got there?
Dude, don't even worry about the mistakes. You play it twenty times better than I do, and I HAVE to play it. At least you had a choice. It's a buttface to play.
Hi, I think you can pull this piece of but still needs some bit of work. Some parts tend to lag down and at times you sound disconnected from your accompanist. There are quite some sections in the second half of this piece where you need to take two to four bars and practice them for hours. Not an easy piece, but keep up the good work.
Thanks for uploading this! The video should really help me, this is the CMEA (Connecticut Music Education Association) All-state piece. It sounded really great, you're very good! The double tongued parts scared me though :P
i hear the mistakes! man they hurt my ears. but whatever..i would have just said keep practicing even more, but if it's just a "hobby" as u said, well then nm
Don't worry, the flute part was done quite well, except for sounding a little nervous (understandable). Most of the mistakes were in the piano, you did great.
I play the flute and I'm preparing this for an upcoming Solo & Ensemble thing where you get graded. And I need to know if I need to be feeling crappy about my playing after hearing this
This makes me so nervous! I have only been playing flute for three years now..and...I have to play this for ISSMA ( Indiana State School Music Association) Competition. And I don't think I will pull this off, I wish I had chosen the piece.
I now how you feel. This is the flute tryout piece for the all south jersey honor band run by SJBODA. I not worried about the fast runs, I can do that, but the double tounging especially at the beginning of the fast part. Its ungodly!!! I hope I can do it that fast.
no this isn't! i made it 3rd chair in my band 4 flute and we didn't play that song! and were not playing it this year either. ur messed up or lying. this year's piece is andalousse(i spelled it wrong) and last years was polonaise and badinerie!! get it straigh dude. unless ur talking about a different instrument, u need help.
Um.... First off there's no need to be rude. Second off, Andalouse is one of the audition pieces for the Jr. High Honors band. I'm talking about the high school honors band. Third off, in sjboda's HIGH SCHOOL honor band Fantaisie is the audition piece. I'm holding the audition requirement papers off of SJBODA's website as we speak. I hope this clears things up for you. Maybe your an 8th grader going into 9th so that would explain the wrong songs. Anyway, nxt time just dnt be so rude to people.
anpflute555, thanks for letting me know that i need more practice. my playing really annoys to your ear heh? well you know what? to be honest, they surely hurt my ear too! hahaha...
if i practice more and more til i turn 28 like YOU, i might be able to play way better and might NOT hurt ANYONE's ears dude.
are you sure? because it is on the grade 8 sylabus..... for one and a half years you must be very talented! in which case i am sorry and congratulations....best of luck!
That was amazing... I searched Fantasy because I'm currently working on it. I love your vibrato, it's really quick but lovely. Mine is much slower, lol.
Eden, there are so many mistakes from your pianist that I'm surprised you could concentrate on playing the flute at all! I don't play the flute myself (though I accompanied this wonderful little Faure piece in a student exam a couple of months ago) but your playing sounds good to me. I think if Aileen could sort out the notes it would be great. Best wishes to you from the UK.
Vibrato is beautiful, tone is amazing .. i bet she practices all the time. It was very expressive. She's got it all. Hey, how about giving me some tips? =]
good job considering you just play the flute as a hobby. if you took it more seriously I'm sure that you could get somewhere with it. it did slow down and i think your sound could've been fuller. and the acoustics of the room was horrible. the pianists needs to step up on her game as well.. k..well, i think that you should pursue music and/or become a flute teacher on the side.
I dont know English too much, so I just think that you need to play more from your soul-espicially on that amazing and one of my favourite listening and playing pieces. well done!!only playing that piece nearly to the tempo is a big achivement!!
p.s- did you know that your name means in hebrew "Heaven"?! that's an amazing name!!!
hey don't cut yourself down as this is a very hard piece to play! Its very expressive and its one of my favorite pieces to flute on flute! I would just say to watch your phrasing, you cut the ends of the notes off suddenly, just let them taper off, thats the best way to do it. But other than that, very nice! What kind of flute do you have?
I thought this sounded really really good! My goal is to be as good as you. I was searching for this piece so that I would know what it is supposed to sound like because I am playing excerpts from it for an audition. I am glad I clicked on your video because it is phenominal. Thanks a ton for posting this!
Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some 1920's trading cards of musical instruments, including the flute.
Thats really good, right now I'm playing clarinet, but I want to switch to flute. :) Maybe in the summer.
Thats amazing, its really clear, alot of people I know play it really sorta screechy, but I really liked yours. Very good job, keep up the excellent work.
totoro956// haha. i know i slowed it down. i should've practiced more, but honestly some parts..my accompanist ridiculously slowed it down all the sudden lol but thank you for your advice tho! =)
