I'm embarking on yet another adventure with my new Blzey 415hz baroque flute! I have no previous experience on flutes, but I'll get there! Very informative vid, Aldo
thats fascinating!! france and their flute! recorder can be so precise.... whereas the flute is simpler in notes but the embouchure takes practice.... but gOSH! the tone!! its wonderful!
What about Germany? With Quantz, Bach and Telemann composing for traverso (more than for recorder), plus King Frederick playing flute I would think that it was a strong competition even back then between both types of flute?
Is it really pressure on a baroque flute to the upper octave? On a modern flute this would just result awfully sharp. There you need faster air speed along with a higher angle of air hitting the outer rim of the hole. I am curious about the higher notes on the baroque flute. From the Bach Partita Allemande I know that the highest is A, on which it should end…and which is such a pain on the alto to get the equivalent C above 3rd octave.
no, it is not really the pressure, but pressure is the first way for making high notes, lather, with experience and patience, you find a different way, changind the angle and the shape of the lips; concerning the velocity... i think that this is a metaphore more than a real thing, i fear
Learning baroque flute really leveled up my breath control.
i can understand it!
Very informative and interesting, thanks!!!
you are welcome!

yes, the tone is wonderful!
It seems that the Fife's sound is fuller
I agree

germany seems to me strongly influenced by italy and france, see concerto italianoo and french suites by bach
Hi, something different, have you ever played an ocarina??
yes, i have two ocarinas or more, but the great love between us is not yet born :))
