I wish people would stop being so negative. Yes, it's an early composition by Chopin, yes, it most likely was written as a practice piece for the young composer. I would love to have the opportunity to play this flute. What a treat to be able to hear it. Elizabeth Walker plays beautifully, is not static at all for I see great expression as well as hear beautiful expression. One should not jump around or move a great deal while performing. Just watch James Galway. Beautifully played!!!!!!
Excellent playing Elizabeth Walker! What a wonderful tone; what timbre; what effortless elegance, flexibility and sensitivity. Played with ease and suppleness!
I enjoyed this a great deal. Not played this for years so I'm going to dig my copy out and have another go. Richard Shaw is a fantastic and a supportive accompanist.
very nice, I would say for a modern Boehm flautist the late 19C ring -key flute is the easiest conical flute to play to try to get into the earlier sound - world. These variations in Emajor/minor C1830 would have written for a simple system flute, with at least 4 keys.
Obviously this is an early musical piece by Frédéric Chopin, composed at the age of 14 - two years before he entered the Academy of Music in Warsaw. Most likely this piece was originally written for domestic use, possibly with his father playing the flute part and his mother playing the very easy (and quite simple) piano part. Personally, I don't believe that Chopin's variations on a theme by Rossini were ever intended for the salons or concert halls. ;-) But - nevertheless - I really enjoyed listening to this beautiful performance by Elizabeth Walker and Richard Shaw. :-)
The only way to play this genre of music today is in an off-the-cuff, even caricature manner. The performance is excellent but ya can't take this music seriously.
Pretty good for a kid's composition, and fairly obvious that the piano part was not composed as a bravado part, but rather to sit behind the flute variations. I take this as an exercise in the classic Italian variation form. ----and pretty darn good for a kid.. Five years later and he would get really dark and stay there.

I cannot believe how incredible this flute sounds...what a treasure! (And at modern pitch!) This is just stunning...brava, Elizabeth!

This is one of my all-time favourite videos! So beautiful. I never get tired of listening to it.
Beautiful!
Wow! This is beautiful! I really love the pure sound of the flute~
A very nice flute, well played - apparently from memory. This is a standard piece of flute repertoire.

Ah - the acoustically perfect Dorus G# key. Nobody seems to have incorporated it into a modern flute.
Lovely old nstrument so well played. Has anyone heard this music played on Radcliff model??

She's so static, staring at the same spot too o_O
but I'll bet she sounds better than you
Am I the only one who got your joke. M oliver should critique musician with the sound turned off
Mozart wrote this when he was 14 y/o.
its not by mozart

I wish she'd stop giving me death stares through the screen, however.
Unremarkable piece. A third year composition student could have written these. Perhaps Federic should stuck to the keyboard....
That's what e did, no? Being something he wrote during his youth, you wouldn't be able to compose anything close to it if you were to try it now :P
Perhaps people enjoy this piece, so your opinion is irrelevant:-D

That's why this wasn't composed during his studies, only before them...
@Marquis De Sade it was, when he was 14, based on Rossini's La Cenerentola (Non più mesta ...)
Fake?
Nope.
