Antonino Pasculli - Le Api (The Bees)

[@richardhembree2058]

I feel like the audience is not appreciative enough with their mildly enthusiastic applause.

[@neonnebby7370]

They were just too mindblown x

This!!! I'm like, where are the roses being thrown at her feet??!!

[@csandy2]

This gave me motivation to start learning to circular breathe!! This was a seriously amazing performance!!

[@OboeStudio]

this is the piece that inspired me to learn how to circular breathe too! thank you :)

@@OboeStudio 1 of the hardest piece to play on any woodwind instrument.

much better depiction of bees than flight of the bumblebee imo

[@dreamur3738]

Especially with how people play it Flight of the Bumblebee sounds more like a wasp.

[@g3ntl3manwill26]

Amazing Lydia! It makes me want to pick up my oboe again! But I do not want to go back to the days of sounding like a duck. WE ARE NOT WORTHY of this performance! *Standing Ovation*

[@OboeStudio]

aww thank you! always great to pick up the oboe again :)

Amazing piece and performance! I thought you were going to pass out, but was amazed you were barely breathing hard at the end!

[@OboeFiles]

[@dariotosolini9086]

Lydia.... congratulations!!! I'll ask an advice! I tried several time to execute this piece but I can't solve this problem: I can do circular respiration, I can get air inside me... but I can't get the air OUTSIDE me!! any tips????? thank you!!

[@OboeStudio]

Dario Tosolini Hi, thanks for your comment! The procedure for circular breathing is the same when you breath in or out, except that you breath out through your nose instead of in through your nose. I find myself expelling the air from my nose and then inhaling through my nose in the same “spit” of air from the cheeks - the air in the cheeks lasts a long time! With this piece in particular, it is important to expel the dead air to make it through it. Does that make sense?

[@dariotosolini9086]

@@OboeStudio thank you very much! so, you do need to expel dead air, do you? you expel dead air from nose, right... once I tried but it was rather noisy :-) maybe I was cold :-)))) I'll try again, thank sooo much!!

[@OboeStudio]

Dario Tosolini yes, expel the “dead air” from the nose. I breath out slowly, not pressed or forced - similar to the way I breath out through my nose in day-to-day life.. it shouldn’t be too loud if it’s nice and slow and natural. Good luck! :)

[@CarolineSilva-en1gi]

Amazing!

[@ianlowery6014]

Great performance! Obviously not the best reed for normal playing, in other words it is compromised to be able to play this piece, for the embouchre gets almost no rest. This written before RipYerCorsetsO)ff wrote The Bum of the FlightleBee
