Thank you so much for this, Sarah. I adore these informative "deep dives" into composers, their lives and influences, and their music, and all the other delicious details about tonguing and trills and so on that you weave in. There's only one thing I disagree about, and quite strongly: flouncy sleeves are not *optional*-- they are *essential*, darling! 🥰🤣🏳⚧💖 Tu-ru French tonguing was a revelation and is something I'll definitely try. 🤗
I went studied L' Art de Preluder and realized that I didn't like his music. But you make it sound a lot better than I imagined it when I was studying it.
Please continue playing and developing on your traverso, Sarah. It sounds excellent, and you know well enough that you'll have it sounding more excellent in due time. Win-win for any early music player. ❤
Fantastic video Sarah. Not too long, and in depth enough to go back and watch again especially the coverage on ornaments. That was so interesting. I’ve got the treatise, but never frankly opened it seriously, now I will do so.
Fantastic video, Sarah! Loved it as a fellow Hotteterre nerd (how can you not be if I play recorder and oboe!). The partnership with Apple Classical is a great addition. Big fan of the service myself.
Great video! Between Hotteterre's and Quantz's there was also Michel Corrette's flute treatise: "Méthode pour apprendre à jouer la flûte" (available on IMSLP) which is very nice and informative. The dating of the first edition is not very clear, and some authors give 1740 or 1741, or sometimes earlier.
@@Team_Recorder Pretty awesome format, really. A well measured load of information and a lot of great music, and all of that in 20 minutes. More deep dives! 😊
thx a lot for this vid. So helpful and inspiring. And perfect timing, as my recorder teacher is currently introducing me to French Baroque and my first Hotteterre Suite
enjoyed your flute. Really need the look into those special marks what they mean, how to execute them... As soon ass I get around to ordering more books...
I still remember my first intro to French music. It was hoteterre suite in G minor (transposed). Playing the first part without ornaments and then playing it with ornaments sounds like two completely different pieces
She said she wasn't a flute player. Not wishing to call anyone a liar, but then the English like their understatements 😌 To do: Get some Hotteterre on my practice list.
7:35 Interesting point about R. French sounded more like Spanish in his time than it does today. The apical R sound is still sometimes heard in Quebec French.
Interesting dive into the ornamentation. I only knew Hottenterre as a legendary father of the baroque bassoon. I guess that's natural, bassoon is my instrument.
Just a warning to those exploring Hotteterre’s fingerings: his recorders used a slightly different fingering system than modern recorders do. If I recall correctly, there is a chart with the same ideas translated to modern recorders. Or you can get a recorder with historical fingerings (my recommendation, if you can afford it). Or you can do as Sarah does here and just use the standard modern fingerings and trill fingerings
Non solo la diteggiatura dei flauti dolci Hotteterre era leggermente diversa da quella modera, cioè quella definita diteggiatura inglese, ma tutti i flauti dolci barocchi di qualsiasi area geografica differivano da quella moderna. Ops scusate ho scritto inavvertitamente in italiano.
@@giorgiolamborghini813yes!! “Baroque” fingerings are not baroque at all. There was quite some variety of different fingerings and tunings in different parts of Europe of course but nothing resembles Dolmetsch’s design
I'm totally with you on the espressivity of the tongue. But do you also feel that this is far less the case on the flute? Somehow articulation there feels sluggish to me.
Ooh interesting! Well, please don’t judge it by my playing, as I am in no way a pro flautist, and a complete newbie to baroque flute 😅 Would love to heat from any recorder/flute doublers what their experience is!
Love you! But I have to be honest: I think you didn't do Team Recorder a favor with this one! My only thoughts when listening: a) this sounds cheap b) this sounds like the "child concerts" on Xmas everyone is laughing about and use as an illustration what an insufficient instrument the recorder is! 😢 So sorry if this sounds harsh but I really didn't like what I heard and I thought you should know! Still love you, your channel and your work!! Keep it up!

Could you make the second lesson for Alto, please?! Many thanks

Thanks so much David!

Fantastic video. And his music is just so wonderful. Suite for two flutes/recorders all time favourite 🙂 And adding the PDF in Apple was overdue!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When you played recorder and then flute, it changed the mood so much for me. It took me by surprise. Wonderfully detailed video. 😊 🎶

Ahh amazing, thank you! I love how I always learn even more by naking these videos, thanks for sharing! ❤️

Great ! and your french accent... so sweet :-)
Very inspiring, thanks!
Thanks, Sarah!
Always enjoy your work.
Cor, that duet was lovely :)

Ah wonderful, enjoy!
Thanks for this excellent introduction to an overlooked musician. Just a remark : not "de Roy" but "du Roy". All the best.
Acchh merci!!

Love this video topic! 10/10. I’d love for musettes to come back in style.
SAME
I didnt know about his book on Preludes. Thanks so much Sarah for your informative videos.
This was very interesting, thanks!

Relevant-and-interesting sponsor. Gefelicititeerd!
Bedankt! ❤️
She said she wasn't a flute player.
Not wishing to call anyone a liar, but then the English like their understatements 😌

I think she just means she doesn’t play transverse flute yet at a professional level (to her own standards).
I’m sure Aysha would have some comments about my embouchure 😂❤️ (see my baroque flute lesson video!)
@@Team_Recorder Of course she would 🙂 but then any embouchure can always get better.

Ah amazing! Love a Team Bassoon and Team Recorder crossover!
i had a facsimile of the 1707 books (edit: and 1708) - i used to play some of those passages in a stairwell with a cathedral acoustic.
Oh lovely!
8:07 Baroque swing... Cool cat
Fascinating video, from beginning too end.

Great comment! It gives us such a fascinating insight into how for example instrument builds and fingering systems have changed over time.

Do you have a new recorder? I see it for the first time in a video 😊
I’ve had it a good while but I don’t often pkay it in videos- it has a really focused, delicate sound that I just love for French music 😍
whee! sponsor!
Wheee!

Elsewhere you said you were looking for a title of this video. What you have now is very clear, but consider...HOTTETERRE OR NOTTETERRE?
LOVE THIS
If you're not a flute player, what do you call it? 🤔
I mean, I wouldn’t call myself a professional on the flute like I do with recorder, gotta be honest about my limitations 😄
Not a flute player at all! ...proceeds to play beautifully on a period instrument... :)
Not the french violin clef 🥲
Yes, I had to double take once or twice! I just see it as a weirdy bass clef
