[@hfjjor3681]

Debussy is my favorite composer, but I’d not heard of this piece until today.

[@saraluna2229]

0:00 - I. Pour invoquer pan, dieu du vent d'été 2:42 - II. Pour un tombeau sans nom 5:55 - III. Pour que la nuit soit propice 8:26 - IV. Pour la danseuse aux crotales 11:14 - V. Pour Égyptienne 14:13 - VI. Pour remercier la pluie au matin

[@-dimitris]

This should be in discography. Exquisite transcription and (most of all) performance. The clarity of the sound and the subtle use of vibrato.

[@DavidSilvaflute]

Thank you so much Dimitris! I am glad you enjoyed it! All the Best, David

6 epígrafes antiques is the piece. For 4 handball piano originalmente

[@philippecirse4872]

Spirituelle, sensorielle et rebelle, la musique de ce compositeur reflète des impostures secrètes, explore des plaisirs sereins, un monde de rêves renaissants🌺🕊

Bella obra, no usual en el repertorio flautístico. Magnífica interpretación!

[@BlindObedienceBrutal]

I am very happy to have discovered this wonderful performance and to learn about you from this recording, and then more on your website. Debussy is never easy -it’s  so much harder than it looks, at least this is my experience. You have a truly lovely tone color with a very full, rich low register, and beautiful dynamic control and expressiveness. I am sure you will have a very successful career! Congratulations!

[@DavidSilvaflute]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It was so heartwarming to read it :) I also wish you all the best! David

[@T3hMarz]

I was trying to find the music for this online, and it looks like the actual title is Six épigraphes antiques. Could you upload the flute arrangement to IMSLP? That way more people would be able to play it. Great music!

[@DavidSilvaflute]

Thank you for the suggestion :)

Original of 6 Epigraphes antique?

[@DavidSilvaflute]

Yes !! Exactly :)

[@engloute]

It's great how versatile the original orchestral score can be. Played the composer's piano reduction and had a blast - but it's far from trivial to cover all the bases alone. Your performance is very inspired. Could I send you a message with my email regarding the score? Obrigado!
