The recorder is like the guitar: just because generations of talentless kids inflicted them on their parents doesn’t mean they’re bad instruments incapable of producing good music. It’s just that most people have also heard good guitar and know what it can sound like, while very few have heard good recorder.
Ehhh…
Yeah I got through 3 minutes of it. This would be great at an 8th grade recital.
Us classical musicians have always known this! Check out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hggISFswKcw&pp=ygUZdml2YWxkaSByZWNvcmRlciBjb25jZXJ0b9IHCQkVCgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D And https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_AJMrub11Lk&pp=ygUXUXVlZW4gb2Ygc2hlYmEgcmVjb3JkZXI%3D
wow what links, you can safely delete the tracking parts: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hggISFswKcw and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_AJMrub11Lk
Is there a tool you like to do this with? Never really share YouTube links so didn’t even think of if
Desktop firefox has a button in the rightclick menu “copy clean link” or something. But usually you can delete everything from the first & or ? sign. They are called query strings and if you learn how they work it’s easy to spot the tracking ones.
Telemann also has a nice recorder concerto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D-y2kJU0lg
Lately I’ve been getting into Sabrina Cruz’s Answer in Progress videos. She’s got an episode about the recorder that’s a lot of fun to watch but also informative.
I’ve been meaning to watch that. Might as well do it now
TIL there’s a contra base recorder. They’re 2 meters tall.
Where’s Andre 3000?
a close cousin of the recorder is the tin whistle, and listening to a minute of mary bergin’s whistling will quickly shatter any illusion that fipple flutes are toys
If you’re getting into treating the recorder as a serious instrument, you might want to check out some Team Recorder videos :D
Half is about right
