    I love how you can hear the breaths and you know it’s a real person and real talent, none of the off sounding computerized ‘flute’ sounds

      I love how you can feel the emotion. The notes are one thing to learn, but talent is feeling the notes and projecting them to the audience. It’s really wonderful.

    If I'm right, this kind of playing requires a great deal of controlled release of the breath to articulate each of those nuanced slurs and those orders of the 8th notes. A divine composition and a virtuosic playing! Big respect to you both... The icing on the cake: I'm proud to disclose that the artist who plays this immense composition happens to be my nephew (a.ka. "the first cousin, once removed", grammatically speaking!)...

Just found this solo work, and it's wonderful! I'm a doubler, so this will be a challenge for me, but do-able, and I love the modality of it! When the music is so well-written, I will work and work at it until I can play it, and the whole process will be a pleasure!

Now i am an 11th grader and now finally being able to play this piece and realizing it wasn't all that bad. I did the same for bach partita in a minor when i was in 8th grade i thought of this piece as a nightmare to play but just into 10th grade it was as easy as any other piece i faced.
