As someone who is always told to play louder even though I feel that I am already playing my brains out. I admire her ability to project so well. Wish i could do it that well.
interesting you say that she makes it sound like a soundtrack to a bad dream...because that to me is what hooked me. It created suck tension. It sounded like a mystery and suspense movie of the 70s and I absolutely loved that. Anytime someone can create a compelling feeling like that, they made it their own.
I received a flute as a christmas gift and have been despairing at producing any kind of sound from it let alone something so astonishingly beautiful!!!
I completely agree on your views on REAL playing...I`m also a flutist and I´ve seen so many talented people deserting music because they´re not able to cope with the perfectionism-frenzy. Really love the way you play; thanks for posting such beautiful pieces, a rarity in utube. ;-)
I have to listen more to Solo Instruments and singing. Because I can learn much about phrasings and articulations! Thanks for sharing! warm regards, wolfgang
Thanks lietzen: I was pleased to see/hear Topolink, too. Lots of great playing and sharing on youtube. I just worked on this "piece" with a student today.
you hold your flute how ever it is most comfortable for you and you get your best quality.. i was also in band for 7 years and yes they tell you to hold it up but if you get a better sound with some slant then go ahead.. and she is solo performing so she can do what ever gets her the best performance. damn,
Thanks. I have had the honor to play with some famous musicians and conductors. Probably the most well known artists I played with are The Moody Blues (one concert but it was fun).
Thanks for writing. I played this piece years ago as an undergraduate in college, or maybe it was even in high school-I don't remember. I took it out and started playing it again about 2 weeks before I made this recording.
Hi Nina! Thanks for the response. I dig the experiment! More of us should be so brave. Wonderful idea! All the best to you. Off to a rehearsal! Cheers eriC
Hey, Nina. Listened to this again today only because it popped up on my computer screen, for some reason. The thing that is so neat is that this video is the best evidence that you are a Marion pupil. It's the biggest compliment I can give you! Love and Best.
You look like my french teacher but thats off topic your a very amazing player I wish I could play like that but only that type of genius come with years of experience I have only around 8 years of experience and so many more to go. Keep playing and never stop its too beautiful to end
A Burkart flute, silver with platinum riser. I like to think the sound is me and the microphone, a decent sony, just helps others hear it! :) Check out my other videos like my Carmen Fantasie
c'est magnifique! quelle profondeur dans le son bravo Nina! merci pour le commentaire "libertango" je reviendrai régulièrement sur ton compte youtube pour écouter les autres vidéos salutations mathieu
@teskataftaba - I know this is old, but I must add that it is hard to hear what something actually sounds like on a recording. I've recorded myself many times, and depending on the microphone, you can get drastically different results. I would personally want to add a greater dynamic range, but don't think a flute can ever get too loud when it comes to expressing strong emotional content. The "harshness" comes from the microphone + speakers + harmonic distortion. Nina did a great job! ;)
Brava, Nina. Wonderful job. Great color changes. The Russian comment in Cyrillic down below loosely translates, "great splendor," and that's a ditto for me. Thank you.
A wonderful performance. I can hear the jazzy elements of the piece you spoke about. I would love to hear your traditional interpretation to compare the two.
Dear Halfnote07: My next masterclass will be Jan. 18th at the Kentucky Flute Festival. I still have openings so tell me if you want to play. The Festival should be exciting this year with guest artist Michel Debost. I'll also perform at the Festival.
Hi! Nina, what a nice presentation you are! In fact, I like this piece very very much!!!I played it and will let my daughter and son play it in the future! Thanks a lot! Is it Brannen golden flute?
Wow Wow came across your videos this evening. You are brilliant. I have just started playing after a very long break of about 10 years. I used to be not bad really but i think i sound awfull now lol!! These videos will help so much. I am having problems producing clean non breathy notes in the top octive, ( see my vids) any chance you can do something on producing a clear sound in the top range please? I am having real trouble finding a teacher near me :( So thanks so much for these!!
I envy your tone! Even in the high notes it's great. I was wondering if there is anything you do to make it better, or if it becomes better with more experience. You play so pretty ^.^
i will check my schedule! i hope i will be able to go! I'm going to the Eastman School of Music to study flute with Bonita Boyd and piccolo with Jan Angus. I'm so excited! How can I get information on registration for the masterclass?
i think it is beautiful and that sometimes it is ok to play loudly. (but I am probably bein weird, I am used to playin loudly cuz though I play flute, and can't really play solo in front of a camera, I am in the jazz band) and we are the opposite, our trombone needs to play louder
wow... i dont know anything about flutes (i dont even know how i came to this video!! ), but this piece is great, i really liked the sound and the melodies. about the things you say in your profile, i agree with you :) , music should be more human and less digital
I have a roy benson. im playing in a concert band solo contest and i want to know what piece may be good to play for someone thats been playing for 4 years
Beautiful sound. My sister plays the flute- I'll direct you to your channel so she can see your how-to videos! A question for you: what's your motivation in posting free flute advice? For me, posting violin instruction videos is a hobby I just decided to start on UA-cam last month. How has the response been overall for you? Keep up the fantastic work- I'm subscribing!
you can hold your flute wherever you want as long as its parallel to your lips. i HATE HATE HATE how band teachers say "hold it parallel to the ground" because thats wrong, it should be parallel to your lips. if it isnt parallel to your lips it just makes it airy and flat.
The only criticism I can offer is that sometimes you let the end of your flute dip too low, which can effect your sound and pitch. Try putting your stand up higher when playing. This almost forces you to hold the flute higher so you can see the music. You probably had it lower so we could see you :), so maybe put the camera on a side view?
Since i don't really have a teacher or anything, how exactly do you go about getting a quiet sound on the flute, i always seem to be loud. Also, getting high notes, do I tighten embrochure? Or use faster air? Or both? It seems like when i try to get a '*third' octave E, i end up doing an A? **Third octave, meaning the third octave the flute can do, low c (or B) being the 'first octave'**
¡Yo$oyChris! Yeah when you play quieter the air speeds up a little bit in the aperture gets a little smaller it looks go forward a little bit, but forget all of that. You don't want to go to technical about it or you just going to make that spitting sound so forget all of that. Jake, the principal flutiss of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, told me that all he does is close his back teeth a little bit to play soft. I do the same thing, but in addition to that I use my imagination to make the sounds smaller. And I become aware of the space that's like in front of me 3 feet and 6 ft abobe the ground have fun
Sorry, but what you say is not characteristic of the Jazz music. All the music of the XX century use those scales and naturally the Jazz use those scales. But I don't hear any "jazzy" element in the beautiful piece of Ibert, such swing or blue notes and blue scales. It would be interesting if Nina Perlove would show what she means about "jazzy" elements. Many wishes to you end to Mrs. Perlove
That was so outstanding, i have a notus flute and it sounds awful! You can certainly tell the difference between a quality instrument and a cheap beginners one. Having played for 20 years on and off i now crave a decent instrument! oh the money!
@XxDaughterOfHadesxX First off, it's not a song...it's a piece.. like the title implies on the link. "Piece for Solo Flute" or in the french title "Piece pour flute seule." People, songs have lyrics, text. This is not a song, it's a piece, or work.
i think if you "use faster air" you just blow harder and that makes the high notes really loud and bleh. lol. i think the best thing is to get a teacher!! lol but i guess the embouchure needs to be a little bit tense for higher notes, but only a little bit because you're making it smaller really. play around with different embouchures and stuff till you come up with what you want =]
Its hard to master flute as well as Nina, just work on your embecure (sp?) Mabey if you made a video ( You can just record and upload it as well.) and allow others to hear it and tell you whats wrong? Be sure to ask around a lot. I just got my flute today and I don't hear much air on my high notes...?
Ok then, still not sure about getting quieter, especially on higher notes, but thanks! Ill probably switch to flute next year, clarinet bores me. *Yawns*
Technique (thumbs up). Musicality (thumbs down). You need to try and understand this piece. It should flow like a stream. You make it sound like the soundtrack to a bad dream. It's not a psychodrama.
*Sigh* You see, the angle of the flute can help, or hurt pitch and intonation, which im SURE you knew from your major experience with fine arts. In this case, she may need to have 'hurt' the tone, for the song to be played well.
It is not very good. Too much drama, to little mood. Słabe wykonanie. Za mało linii melodycznej, za dużo dźwięków granych każdy osobno na przeponie. Mnóstwo dramatyzmu, mało nastroju. Psuje to cały utwór.

Beautiful. Heard this piece on the radio the other day, and fell in love with it. I think we all need more 20th century lyricism in our lives.

I received a flute as a christmas gift and have been despairing at producing any kind of sound from it let alone something so astonishingly beautiful!!!
if there is a more beautiful sound than Nina on the flute, I haven't heard it yet
It is amazing how much sound comes out of a flute.
I completely agree on your views on REAL playing...I`m also a flutist and I´ve seen so many talented people deserting music because they´re not able to cope with the perfectionism-frenzy. Really love the way you play; thanks for posting such beautiful pieces, a rarity in utube. ;-)
Oh my god.......wow...just...I'm at a loss for words. Seriously. You're just.....amazing! Even that is an understatement!
Wherever you were just playing, it has great acoustics to go along with your amazing sound.
Beautiful !!
I have to listen more to Solo Instruments and singing. Because I can learn much about phrasings and articulations!
Thanks for sharing!

nina brava beautiful sound and beautiful flutist

Really moving! Thanks for this haunting, beautifully played melody!
Wow, very nice.
Your tone is amazing, that video has given me inspiration to improve my tone even more!
yeah nina great sound!
A wonderful performance. I can hear the jazzy elements of the piece you spoke about. I would love to hear your traditional interpretation to compare the two.
2021
Bravo Nina, your tone and technique is superb!!! :)
lovely, feeling even while reading the music
i love it. i'm in love! you go nina.
stunning
very well done! i played this piece and its much harder than it seems
I really like the echo in that room! Great acoustics!
Im still waiting for a Piccolo video from you =)

Magnifique......les frissons !!!!!
Wonderful!

Thanks for watching. Who was your teacher?
Hi Nina, really beautifully played, although I think it's ittle bit too heavy, but ofcourse that is personal. All the best, Joan
I always liked this peice. It;s sort of like a "best of" from the concerto.
I like it very mutch!
Hi! Nina, what a nice presentation you are! In fact, I like this piece very very much!!!I played it and will let my daughter and son play it in the future!
Thanks a lot! Is it Brannen golden flute?

i love that piece! do you teach masterclasses around the country?
Whats the name of the piece of muzic?? amazing flute playing.. :D
lovely song, in my opinion :D
perfeito!
Nice interpretation! How are you fingering the fifth and sixth measures, as well as the chromatic third cadenza on the bottom of the second page?
très bon! jamais entendu parler de tout ce qui a cela .... boum!
you can hold your flute wherever you want as long as its parallel to your lips. i HATE HATE HATE how band teachers say "hold it parallel to the ground" because thats wrong, it should be parallel to your lips. if it isnt parallel to your lips it just makes it airy and flat.
Bravo, Nina!! You are courageous! For more colours use more your musical intuiyion
mam....u r very diffrent....
I play Brass and guitar, but that was awesome

I play a Burkart flute.
I played this Piece last year! It's very beautiful:) I'm Vio Flautista in facebook, you are my Facebook friend! Do you remember me? Greetings :)
congratulations! I like much your sound. I saw your other videos, are very good. you watched my other video?
sorry for my basic english.

yep, your embouchure should be smaller but still relaxed.
do you know the Mexence Larrieu's version?
Probably it is much more "jazzy" than your. Much more freely.
Superb version as your.
@teichiboy I have tht model too, its amazing right.
Did Ibert write this before or after his concerto?
Your performance is amazing and the piece is nice but, as jazz musician, I didn't find any "jazzy element" in this piece. What did you mean, please?
I think that she meant that there are a lot of hexatonics, whole tone and octatonic scales.
Sorry, but what you say is not characteristic of the Jazz music. All the music of the XX century use those scales and naturally the Jazz use those scales. But I don't hear any "jazzy" element in the beautiful piece of Ibert, such swing or blue notes and blue scales.

@@beppealiprandi E
are you on your own to get better acoustics for the video or is this a performance??
That was so outstanding, i have a notus flute and it sounds awful! You can certainly tell the difference between a quality instrument and a cheap beginners one. Having played for 20 years on and off i now crave a decent instrument! oh the money!

lol! with the right use of diaphragm you can make flutes extremely loud!! its wonderful isnt it? :D
That loudness is probably because of the room she was in while taping this. I like the reverb time a lot, it makes the sound bounce around nicely.
and it is also probably cuz of the acoustics
Her flute looks longer than mine
holding it up straight is only for beginners. this is how the pros do.
i think if you "use faster air" you just blow harder and that makes the high notes really loud and bleh. lol.
i think the best thing is to get a teacher!!
lol
but i guess the embouchure needs to be a little bit tense for higher notes, but only a little bit because you're making it smaller really. play around with different embouchures and stuff till you come up with what you want
