It’s very beautiful arrangement! Can I have a sheet music? 🤍🥹
Sounds a bit like "Zu Bethlehem geboren", a German christmas song from 1638.
Wonderful piece !!
So interesting Amy ! Congrats to Nina Shekhar !
Hello Amy ! so interesting .. I'm a flute player setted in Valencia ( Spain ) best regards...
I have to say I like the modern flute much more than the traverso and this interpretation is heavenly ✨💐
The delicate timbre of the flute in this piece evokes a sense of serene beauty, reminiscent of a tranquil atmosphere. The fluid passages and intricate ornamentations create a mesmerizing tapestry of sounds, weaving together a rich and complex emotional experience.
Bravissimi
Wonderful piece which is even better with full orchestra. Thanks
Fantastique! Je l'aime beaucoup.
Thank you both. I really loved that!!! May I ask, what flute you play here?
Cécile Chaminade’s Concertino seems indeed a piece that showcases this flutist’s strengths, particularly in its intricate melodic lines and the demanding virtuosity required to the soloist. The composition’s vitality must be derived from its complex interplay between the solo flute and the accompaniment, which creates a harmony of sound that is both intellectually stimulating and aesthetically pleasing. The structure and thematic development of the piece seem to be emblematic of her artistic acumen, reflecting a profound understanding of both the flute’s capabilities and the nuances of musical expression. Thanks.
It could be more even.
🎉Na interpretação dessas virtuoses, o luar - a luz da Lua - se torna quase ao alcance de nossas mãos
wow 😎I bought the DVD study guide for the 30 Karg-Elert caprices a long time ago.. it is very helpful for those of you that dare to tackle this stuff. 😉👨🏻
I am studying this now and this video is INVALUABLE. Thank you for all the .instruction! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
At present, I am afflicted with a dental discomfort, and it is to this performance that I owe a measure of alleviation from my ailment. The therapeutic resonance of the artistic display has, in a fortuitous turn, provided a distraction potent enough to diminish the acute sensations that accompany such an odontalgic episode.
Yup just silly small brained people
Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Your tone is stunning

This should have way more views haha
This is brilliant!
I dont sound anything like this when I play it. Beautiful!
beautiful!!
Such a hauntingly beautiful piece. Wonderful performance. ❤🎉
Maravilloso
Did she just start slow and speed up a trill before slowing it down again to lead into the next note?? I’ve never heard that done but holy cow it makes perfect sense and sounds wonderful! I’ve yet to hear a better performance of this piece, brava! 1:43
playing this for my senior recital in a few days! great recording :)
Have fun!
I’m working my way through Drouet’s etudes. You always play beautifully when I see you. I am not able to get the speed yet but I’m enjoying the lessons each one is teaching me.❤
always a good day when you post, and doubly true for alto flute! thank you for making me happy with your beautiful sound.
Better, accurate: Hüe.
Flawless
This is a great piece. I love it. Thanks, and well played Amy.💋
Wonderful! My French partner introduced me to this piece. Surely there must be more compositions from Mme Bonis which need to heard?
Love it, great fun.
Holly crap this is my new favorite video. The level of skill it must take to keep a straight face the whole time.
❤❤❤❤❤
Amy! How fun to see/hear this!
I might be out of the loop but it seems so rare to hear a flute & flute duet and this one is so harmoniously beautiful and fun (you look like you're having a good time but I'm sure it is all just for show! :). Accompaniment and sound quality and video all really noteworthy too. Many thanks.
That was simply amazing! Thank you for the tips. All of them so helpful!
I love this so very much!!
Thank you!
Bravíssimo,
Thank you!!
This is very nice. I love Gaubert and you are creating it in a very nice space. Thank You.
Thanks Greg
Beautiful piece ❤
This is by far the best rendition of the Sonata!!!
Beautiful! You are gorgeous ~ ❤
So beautiful ~ ❤
SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE!!
Thank you very much!
I’m learning this piece for my Junior Recital, and for the longest time I’ve been so daunted by it. However, this phenomenal performance by you and Tim Carey has ignited an inspired fire in me to take this piece by the horns and ace it (though I doubt it will ever be at your level). Thank you so much for the inspiration - keep being amazing!!
