bravo!

[ShinAkiraX]

thank you very much. but do you mind commenting in detail on my playing? I would reapply appreciate it. thank you.

[ShinAkiraX]

Do forgive the mistakes.

[notaire2]

Although not perfect, this is definitely one of the most impressive performance of this piece.

[magicflute3]

as you ask a commenting in detail, I'll tell you that all you do is remarkably exact and expressiv- the tone, the sound itself is very lovely- i'm an amateur treble recorder player and have studied this music- so I know it is rather difficult- if you allow me to give advice, I would try to make my rendition a littel bit more daring and emotional, as your techique seems to allow that ( mine doesen't!!!)- let me congratulate!!!

[brookwall]

Very well done.

i have to play this for my lesson teacher and i'm sure this will be helpful!!

I could go on for ages on each little passage : )

I wish we were sitting with the score and instruments in front of us! I really enjoy this kind of work.

If you like, send me a message and we can go through it in detail.

(In case you are wondering, I used to study recorder at music college).

Thanks, I really enjoyed listening to this.

[signingupiseasyd]

If you don't mind, I'll add a little more : )

From 4:01 you should have the beginnings of a crescendo, quite strongly (piano can help you more with that [cello would if you were working with harpsichord]). 4:08 - 4:10 - should be ~very~ quiet with strong crescendo, 4:10 is very intense, dramatically. And again at each repetition until 4:16, major intensity (more volume - perhaps experiment with alternative fingering i.e. flattening so you can blow more?). Make *full* the note at 4:33.

[signingupiseasyd]

Very good. As far as criticism goes, I think you need to work a little more on breath control. This will help with producing a stronger, fuller tone in the upper register as well. And if you employ vibrato, it should come deeply, from the diaphragm, not the throat.

I would make the dotted rhythms in the slow first movement more dotted and introduce more rhythmic vitaility, like a dance (have you seen really good French Baroque Dance? This will show you the feeling).
