  • Why would you ruin such a fabulous piece of music by putting a flute, instead of viola and 'cello as Mahler intended?

    This arrangement does not work at all.The sound quality is not appropriate! Such a shame as the players are all excellent.

  • This arrangement was requested by Trio Prenzlau from Germany. The live performances were well received and a recording of the piece is planned for early next year. Just because you blurt out a statement like "This arrangement does not work at all" doesn't make it true.

  • Mahler was recognised for his orchestration & form. He would never have envisaged a flute taking the place of a cello (high for low?). The tone is all wrong, but interesting nevertheless!.

  • @BeadSpirit I agree with you. Music and art are forms of expression. Alterations and different arrangements is what it's all about. =)

  • Naze

  • @BeadSpirit Very nice performance!! But I agree with laguyola regarding the flute, I'm afraid.

  • Fair enough if somebody requested this arrangement, however I am still entitled to my opinion that a flute is not a good substitute for the 'cello , and does not give a suitable tone quality to the music.

    I'm sure Mahler wrote for piano,violin, viola and 'cello as that is what he wanted !

    There is a lot of good chamber music already written to include flute, and I'm sure that many pieces could be arranged more sympathetically

  • Very nice arrangement for flute.

  • TNX YOU SO MUCH!!
