My youtube debut.. Mozart in G Major

Post by arabians207 »

I played this at a recital Saturday along with all my flute teacher's students. I am also playing this at Solo/Ensemble this weekend (minus the Cadenza, sadly cause its my teachers and one of my favorite parts, and most of the third page is out.. its too long otherwise :(

Comments to improve it are appreciated! I am pretty happy with my performance, but I hope to get rid of some of the odd note things in random spots, and few tonging things. Just all those spots I don't normally mess up on, before this weekend. The only spot that has always caused problems is at like 5:22 and that is cut for this weekend so I wont worry about that unless I perform it again after Solo/Ensemble. I also apologize for my pitch in some of it :P It was SO warm in there, and while on stage I didn't realize that I was a bit sharp for a lot of it :P

One thing in particular that I want to improve, how can I make the low notes in the runs with the low note 16th slurred up to 3 high 16th ones come out better? This happens at both 2:13 and 6:17 in the video. I have a pretty strong low register usually but I can't ever seem to get those to come out very much. It was actually better here than normal since I worked a little on it the day before..

I'd also really like to get opinions on the Cadenza even though I wont be performing it again unless I do it at church (my mom wants me to.. but I dunno) :) My teacher said its one of her favorite Cadenza's that she has ever helped a student write :P All the ideas were mine, but she helped make it lead into the different chords and stuff correctly.

Thanks!!
