[@TheModernTiger]

Her music plus her dress is beautiful.

[@josie9599]

isn't it weird how one of the biggest instruments (tuba) and one of the smallest (piccolo) both require the same amount of breath?

[@lmallanao]

cause for flute and picc, 75-90% of the air misses the instrument

[@nicolasfrangiosa4614]

Actually in the piccolo your breath last longer than in the flute, and the bigger the instrument is, the less your breath will last. In the tuba you breath the same but you will not be able to play long passages with breathing, as long as I know.

[@lmallanao]

Nicolas Frangiosa But on both picc and flute, a good amount of air that you blow misses the instrument, not being used by the instrument. So you would still need about the same amount of breath as a tuba.

[@treewalker1070]

The flute requires MUCH more breath than the tuba. I know, because I play both instruments. The piccolo requires somewhat less air than the flute, so it is about equal to the tuba. Uppish is right about the reason -- most of the air blown into a flute or piccolo misses the instrument, because you blow across the mouthpiece, not into it.

[@treewalker1070]

"the bigger the instrument is, the less your breath will last." That makes sense, Unfortunately, it is not right. The flute takes more air than any other instrument, brass or woodwind. That is because you blow across the mouthpiece, not directly into it. When I was in high school band, our teacher tested us on how long we could sustain a tone. We had to be able to sustain a tone for 30 seconds -- the only exception was made for the flautists, who only had to do 20 seconds. I played flute for four years before switching to tuba. When I started practicing for my long tones test on the tuba, I found I could effortlessly sustain a tone for 45 or 50 seconds, way over the 30 seconds I was supposed to make. That was because of the years of practicing the flute.

It is really lovely to listen to, and as Annette says her dress is beautiful.

[@kosmos118]

なんていい音なんでしょう🎵 私に持ってるピッコロとは全然違います。

[@Oswaldfiveo]

Amazing!!! What a virtuoso piccolo player!!! And so young! Well done! :)

[@kana19FL]

めっちゃうまい…。　こんな風に吹きたいな♪

[@SHlNEEisAWESOME]

holy crap, she sure can hold her breath...

[@TheCynedd]

First, I love this performance; second I love Vivaldi and the Pic' Concerto in C is my all time fave. I've played it on my piccolo (no, I am not near as good as this performer) but I could not believe how physically exhausting it was when I tried to play it on my flute or my oboe!

[@xMinuet]

the piccolo player is simply amazing :) i wish to be as good as her one day!

[@PikachusKetchup]

Okay, THAT'S how you play the piccolo. All the amateurs here on KZbin posting their vids need to watch this.

[@eline8087]

then again, this person here will have trained for many, many years on conservatory. Would it really be a fair comparison? Not that I don't agree with you that this performance was quite refreshing to many other piccolo performances here on youtube.

[@JonathanMartinez-bu8gf]

Lauren, I'd be delighted to see an enlightening performance of yours playing this very same concerto if you would so kindly oblige.

[@piotrmalewski8178]

Jonathan Martinez Being able or unable to perform something doesn't mean that the one can or cannot judge the performance.

[@PikachusKetchup]

Jonathan Martinez My point here is that she played beautifully and the other piccolo players and flautists could benefit from watching her performance. My comment was a positive one. I would gladly oblige playing an excerpt if I had the proper recording equipment, however I don't even own a webcam.

[@PikachusKetchup]

Eline Teune No, but any flautist or piccolo player could benefit from watching/listening to this performance. In music (as in my main study, dance) learning from others is one of the best ways to improve your performance.

[@sleorveen0311]

ピッコロかわいい♡♡

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

WTF!!! Thumbs down? Only on KZbin. This is wonderful.

[@andron2348]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MARIO-yh5ep]

me gusta mucho, la primera vez que lo escuchè fue en un programa de radio hace 10 años... esta música te hace subir al cielo. gracias

[@naturefruitmineralwater6307]

고맙습니다

[@masterlancer1]

pure power!

[@marmariela]

I'm learning to play this piece right now for an audition... i wish i could play it this flawlessly. Beautiful job :)

[@Kyubiwan]

The piccolo is cute

[@BillyLarkin31]

I love this a lot

[@LightningBug73]

I really enjoyed listening to this piece. Well done!

[@erikacerda4450]

i like the sounds. It's interesting, very good

[@boazben-dov5419]

Am I the only one here who is really bothered by the fact that the conductor conducts in a much faster tempo than what the strings actually play?

[@kristenbartosz2236]

Usually in orchestra, the conductor conducts the beat on the upstroke, to match the bowing of the string instruments. That's why it looks like he's always ahead of them.

[@nshir100]

Amazing piccolo performer and so beautiful.

[@adamelmasery7723]

beautiful. Thanks.

[@CrispRaman]

I'm just impressed she had enough air left after wearing such a fitting albeit nice dress.

[@jordancastro7435]

I will soon be able to play the piccolo in June.

[@SmokeVanish.]

Very good performance. Yes, I hear a few mistakes, but considering that she's playing this for an audience of 100+ people, I'm sure that anyone would slip up a few times. But she did a very nice job and she played with a good, sweet tone and vibrato despite all of the pressure.

[@user-tg3mn3re3k]

これぞ循環呼吸

[@CHiKAxCHOO]

She makes this look so effortless.

[@haileystrzelec486]

Wow... Just wow

[@DLee1923]

Very nice ! Thank you !! ♥️👌👏

[@Flym0m]

So beautiful!

[@antoniobrandao1]

the girl is amazing !!

[@ruquia611]

wow your amazing when my instructor told me i was gonna start onm piccolo i was lik what but your very supper uber fantastic

[@fusilism]

inverted color keys so badass

[@Eo_Tunun]

It´s such a shame the recording breaks off that early. A very sensitive and utterly intensive interpretation of this concerto. I have been digging through loads of recordings of this today, and had had it been complete, this would have made the top of my list by far.

[@Bobthe1st2]

theirs a second part to the video to continue the piece in case you didn't know(:

[@erwindamianpuchetabobadill5802]

Maravilloso !

[@jesuspardo6262]

Hermosamente maravillosa.

[@wspaik2]

So beautiful !!

[@enquarantainenexisteplus7838]

OMG !!! I play Harmonica and it's so easy too play. Piccolo is likes so difficult

[@reecebartron3246]

+Fraser Lasnier Renaud 3 year olds can play some harmomica with some proficiency

[@emilymorgan9664]

not really but its easy like that for me cause I play the flute😂 and they are the same notes and fingering

[@ashlynnmoler2003]

Harmonica is a easy thing to get a sound out of but I don’t think people realize how it takes longer to actually learn how to play it correctly, now for piccolo which is my instrument is definitely hard to play if you’ve never played flute. Even for some flutists it’s hard because of how small it is and things like that. You also need nice vibrato on the pic or else what I’ve been told is “you’ll just sound like a plain old whistle”

[@cristina3102]

Maravilhosa flautista!!!

[@charlottestenzel2829]

Amazing...Wow !

[@Webboden]

Vilken talang. Perfekt och så vackert!

[@rbentrdr]

Outstanding job!

[@physes1139]

That's my solo for UIL. Here we go

[@jennjenn6583]

pretty sounds all over~

[@Fluteperson01]

this is beautful i wanna play this soo bad in fact im gonna go order the music later today cause this is beautiful and my piccolo needs a good song to play , it hasnt been touched very much cause i swtiched to oboe

[@ANGELILYworks]

AMAZING

[@禎恩]

1Q84을 통해서 알게 된 곡인데 너무나 귀엽고 아름답네요.

[@juhangseo4518]

WOW

[@666HellTiger]

On my sheet it says "Concerto for flautino" and flautino refers to sopranino as well as to piccolo, right?

[@jaz499]

I'm just trying to keep it real! Y'all making her sound like she's god's gift to the piccolo!!!

[@KAL1380]

Perfect

[@ivykeydavis2833]

Fascinated by that harpsichord part during the solo.

[@aaaayakaaaaa]

鳥の囀りみたい

[@ilovepandas1001]

I've tried the piccolo before. You have to adjust to the hole size because it's smaller than the flute. Also, you have to force your air to get the high pitched sound.

[@herculesraphaelolimpio3569]

PERFECT LADY! :)

[@brunobelli983]

Bellissimo

[@OMGepicME]

yeah, the piccolo is REALLY HARD TO PLAY!!

[@jeremybam94]

i thought this was written as a recorder concerto

[@MrChipsize]

sounds like a bird's twitter - simply amazing :)

[@svetivani]

👏👏👏

[@pachiwan_5]

めちゃくちゃ凄い((((((*'ω'*≡*'ω'*≡*'ω'*)))))

[@canal-sx4kd]

clarito ⌛

[@thiagoporto4824]

the cellos sounds like a double bass

[@kokoboo64]

i didn’t know benjamin franklin was a composer 🥴

[@ildanny80]

Am I the only one hearing some descending violin ? Btw the piccolo is amazing !

[@klcshtree]

o my god he does!!!!!!!

[@mickeyclark8038]

power

[@rebeccalockhart6877]

So pretty

[@PATO7773]

Someone know how can I do treble E ?? I can do it, I don't know the correct fingering chart for the note... Please! Thank U :)

[@aaaaaaaaaaaa808]

I just can't help it, but she's from planet Namek.

[@blokflotnbrass]

this music is for sopranino recorder not for piccolo...it's so much better on the recorder

[@trippy2239]

blokflotnbrass actually it's a famous piccolo solo. It's for both but in my opinion it's more known as a piccolo solo.

[@dainerflute]

She is a young player, but wrong trill fingering for the 'c'. The piccolo is a different instrument from the flute, because is conical, pitch-wise, sound production, etc. The scale mapping is whole different, if you play this like in flute you will not have a good intonation. Learn extended fingerings, they will help a lot. My suggestion to you is to have an accomplished technique and sound on flute first, then, the piccolo playing will be more natural.

[@bomthapa243]

l lika this piccolo I'm 15 manth play loane.

[@PATO7773]

Ahhhhhhh is so dificult and I have a old barroque piccolo with just a key and another old piccolo with 5 keys and is so hard to play the pice.... but not impossible...

[@mufasasimbakiara4]

Me. And a lot of others.

[@TheLinkpower22]

The Conductor looks like benjamin franklin

[@thunderfoot43]

Basically, every serious flute player.

[@gilbsgauche]

that's actually a recorder concerto, not a piccolo concerto. but it's okay because recorder and piccolo players borrow each other's songs all the time.

[@manuelcarrillo7654]

Con esto se demuestra que el piccolo es un instrumento pequeño, pero al mismo tiempo, vigoroso porque su tono agudo sobresale sobre los demás; es frágil y fuerte, cualidades que lo ubican como el David de los instrumentos.

[@jjessicagrace]

what is up with that piano

[@1940ssinger]

Right on brother! lol

[@claraschmidt2254]

wie alt ist die solistin?

[@gracere5747]

They could have differant music then you might have!

[@user-ge2el2yj9l]

這是什麼曲子

[@marcelomatos7146]

Respirar pra que néah ?

[@simoneprozzo6627]

Good performance! But in the first movment the breath is not perfect and in second movment the piccolo is too forte!!The difficult in the secon movment for me is the dinamic piano.

[@memelesardi9497]

Vivaldi has forgotten that humans need to breathe... 🤣🤣🤣

[@morusalba6405]

no, he has written this for the recorder which needs much less air...
