a heart full of love: Why is Bach boss?:

Suddenly I had to stop—I had screwed up a turn in the harmony and wasn’t moving toward the goal of G minor anymore. I had embarked upon a Neapolitan odyssey which was now gone quite awry.

“Why do you suppose,” my teacher asked, breaking the extremely uncomfortable silence,…

Flute Sonata: II. “Cantilena”: Assez lent - Francis Poulenc

Flute: Emmanuel Pahud
Piano: Eric le Sage

“Jean-Pierre,” said Poulenc: “you know you’ve always wanted me to write a sonata for flute and piano? Well, I’m going to,’ he said. ‘And the best thing is that the Americans will pay for it! I’ve been commissioned by the Coolidge Foundation to write a chamber piece in memory of Elizabeth Coolidge. I never knew her, so I think the piece is yours.”

I love Piazzollas music! There is really nothing else like it. The way his crossover style between tango, classical and jazz makes the music pop!

He is mos def one of my favorite composers and playing his music truly gives me a lot of meening!

I just got to experience the beuatiful russian ballet “Raymonda” at one of the best operhouses in the world, “La Scala” in Milano.

The flutists were amazing. It was also inspiring to hear the orchestra play and see how the conductor worked with them.

This was truly one of the most amazing things I have attended while living in Milano.

Picking up the flute after a “vacation” is ALWAYS a reminder of why one should practise every day.

Remember:

One day without practise- YOU will hear the difference.

Three days without practise- YOUR FAMILY will hear the difference.
