@rakete111 ....try over 2 million

'C' for effort. Just sayin'

This is really, truly amazing. I just wish the recording quality could have been better, but I know this just happens. A better recording quality would have really done this young man true justice to his superb playing ability.

I don't think he'll be getting a call to sing the national anthem again. Let me ask you this: was the $50,000 worth of fireworks worth this performance? I don't think so. Of all the songs you can sing, you don't mess this one up. Everyone knows the lyrics to the national anthem. EVERYONE ! ...

@xXpersianfashionXx ...I really don't think that there's much of a difference between the two.

@tiffanynicolega ....oh, absolutely ! !

May Monsieur Rampal rest in piece. I grew up listening to his recordings and modeled my flute playing after him.

That's why we in the US Military music system, we call music the "International Language". I still have fond memories of a very large military band from the USSR came to our Armed Forces School of Music in the winter of 1989-1990 to perform. They had a clarinet section of at...

Really?

...where's the rest of it? That was only like 10% of the whole thing ! !

Most excellent blues here folks. It's really hard to sing &play guitar like this and do it well.

@MotoscuterZ Amen, brother ! ! ! It would be an awesome thing if modern music could approach more towards the more 80's like, natural feel. Essentially, if you can't perform a song live without the same appeal as it was recorded, than the true soul of the music just isn't there. An exampl...

Just curious. I am sure that you have heard of Solomon, perhaps the wisest and most cherished among the leaders mentioned in the bible. Guess what, he was BLACK ! ! How do you Mormons respond to that? Or can it just be that the Mormon faith is simply a racist one? You don't belong in this co...

@musicanth I don't think this is written for flute and orchestra. Although, you could arrange the accompaniment for orchestra. The proper interpretation for this genre of music would be somewhat difficult for an orchestra since there are so many liberties taken by the soloist, very typical of F...

@missymouse12 I know it's been a while, but keep one thing in mind: most of your great flute solos are in the key of G, like this one. Get to know and love this key for the flute. To be technical, this particular piece is in E minor (you can tell this by seeing/hearing the piano part, where it...

@MagnusonX

On the 5th measure of 'B', 3rd beat, you sort of just skipped these notes. Everything prior to it was sound just great, and you built up a great sense of musical momemtum until you got to that third beat of that measure. By eliminating this momemtum, you just lost a great feel for t...

A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said, "Take the kids, let's call the police because we have no statue clown. "The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped...

@cereem

It's because the camera caused theire eyes to show up all glowy. That's all. Also, could be caused by light reflecting from behind the camera view.

OK, he spends WAY too much time talking about specifics of the fingering and support of bassoon.

I find it funny when he mentions the cost of a good-quality bassoon, usually starting about $6-10K. I played bassoon in HS, but have never been able to afford one for myself.

@CyprusHot...interesting to note...the only true consistent fact about grizzly/brown bears is that they are UNPREDICTABLE. Are you going to stake your life on a 'hunch' that this was a bluff charge? I don't think so. I've heard of too many bear 'experts' who thought the same way but end up mau...

@8bitstargazer ...Hopefully obsessive parents did not actually make her practice a ton. My experience with keyboarding has taught me that, by the time I actually learn something completely, I have already practiced a ton and just happen to have it memorized.

Now, in defense of the parents, usual...

@samoli13 - mira, Pendejo, ponle una grabacion de lo mismo y veremos como saldran. Tambien, hazlo por memoria, a ver como haras tu. Hablas puras pendejadas y a nadie no vale nada. Mejor vete a un narco que te viole y luego te mate.

...it would be nice if you added the trills. Anyone who knows this music know that it has trills that you just can't do without.
