Thank you very much! I listen to "La Follia" by Corelli and F-major sonata by HendeI performed by you. The perfomances are very good, and the sound is incredible. More pour sound of recorder in your lessons doesn't stop me in absorbing your very usefull thoughts. And it seems to me that you are right when you play at lessons not so perfect as you do it at the other videos. This is a way to be more intimate with apprentices

thanks for your comments!

in effect i repeat the videos without words until they are "quite" perfect, but in my video lessons i play like in a speech with a friend

I just discovered you channel and videos.

I must admit I admire your guts and obvious knowledge of music for recorder.

I personally would like to make the sound you make, as I find it very pressed and narrow.You also do not support your notes sufficiently,resulting in the dropping off in tuning at the end of notes.All I can say is that Italians obviously have no problemo with self confidence. Bravo for that, at least!

[unagondolaunremo]

I agree with you: playing recorder we have big problems in order to be expressive and to make nuances without broken the tuning

the others wind instruments can manage better the relationship between volume and tuning of each note

but i have no guts! really i'm just sharing my opinions concerning some musics, telling what i think about, using words or performances, and i accept and like to discuss with people who don't agree with me

Your notes about the recorder are excellent. Telemann lessons are really mind-openers.

Regarding the colpo di lingua (tonguing or articulation), should the "t" in the "tu" be soft, sharp or strong? How the articulation of that silent syllable can affect the sound?

[unagondolaunremo]

thanks!

i use different "tu" in different places and with different instruments: for this reason it is important to play the same music with instrument of different quality, just for learning how to use and change the tonguing

the articulation affects very much the sound and you have to try different kind of "tu" (from very soft to very strong) because they will be your colors that you can use as a painter

it depends also from "where" you are playing, in a church, in the open air, in a room

a lesson in italian will just be understood by just some people. your english is ok. but i guess you speak italian a lot better.... it depends... in any case i enjoy your lessons very much... grazie.

[unagondolaunremo]

[unagondolaunremo]

yes, it is an aulos very old (1985, i guess)

(bisogna che mi decida a fare qualche lezione in italiano: sono sicuro che i concetti verrebbero meglio approfonditi!)

[recorderfan]
