for the last three days I have been practicing flute again, it wasn't so bad but not so great for the fun I chose my solo flute piece and here is what I learned this piece is suppose to be a creative performance, so, the rhythm is only a clue, you can change any rhythm into any other rhythm, what is important is the melodic line, or you can play exactly as written,you can speed up slow down, retard, do what feels right to you, this is what I ended up doing this piece is an anti orchestration piece, I am trying to go back to the Baroque since for me is the greatest period of music history for instrumental musicians, our time is so loud an forceful music, I always believed music was gentle and people should be gentle, but most of them are selfish monsters in one form or another. the second movement i noticed is was in the feeling of a three note phrase, try to keep it really slow and melodic, remember you can ad any note change any octave and repeat any phrase, it was for me fun to try to make this some what new piece into a real composition for the performer not just the composer, i hope you can find fun with it too of course, this will take time and effort and interest in creating your own performance When I get time I will record sections for my example of this piece maybe I should have a contest who can make this piece really fly? thanks greg
