His embouchure is so relaxed that it almost looks like he's miming. My favourite flutist.

[@chimmythemochi6811]

Flautist

[@preckle]

@@chimmythemochi6811 actually most flute players call themselves flutists.

[@efanshel]

He's my favorite too

[@lalaithan]

@@preckle On his website, Pahud uses flautist.

[@preckle]

@@lalaithan he says flautist and I say flutist 🎶😁

[@dcnannen4319]

I love how he fades out at 0:12 without going out of tune, it was so smooth. That’s something I definitely have trouble with

[@theworldofwolf763]

it’s increadible

[@johannpetersen3637]

Try slowly moving your lips up as you decrese the sound

[@donnaknudson7296]

Slowly tilt your head up just a bit as it fades out.

[@geo-nardo6758]

This is the best interpretation of "Syrinx" I have ever heard. I think this is how Debussy would have wanted it to be played. In this interpretation, I can literally hear or feel the faun who is longing for his lost love. This is what the piece is about.

[@fjdyyh2542]

My man debussy really doesn't care how his music is played today

[@geo-nardo6758]

@@fjdyyh2542 My man or whatever: I am aware that Debussy is no longer alive. But I think every composer has an idea what a composition should sound like when it is played. This is what I wanted to say.

[@fjdyyh2542]

@@geo-nardo6758What if he wanted that players 100 years after his death would play it like they want to? He was quite innovative thinker after all like all great composers. Probably he'd want u to compose something on your own terms too. In conclusion, he is dead and we are not. Music doesn't belong to dead people, it's not an item in the museum but a living thing

[@geo-nardo6758]

@@fjdyyh2542 I think this is getting a little off topic. The above video is about Debussy’s “Syrinx” and Pahud’s interpretation thereof. It’s not about me or what I should do or become. First and foremost, a composition “belongs” to the composer. Therefore, it is (in my opinion) justified to think about it, if the composer would have liked a certain interpretation or not. In my opinion - which you don’t have to share - music has a TIMELESS component to it and includes living and dead people as well, especially the composer and the people who have liked the composition and for whom it had a certain meaning - no matter if those people are already dead or still alive. Over and out.

As an older returning flute amateur, I feel so inspired to practice my tone each week.

[@sasquatch6903]

Is it hard to play?

[@PtitBebelapinoublanc]

@@sasquatch6903 no, not really. But it has always been a piece that I've really felt and held dear. A good composition that allows the musician to highlight their tone and emotion. It's sometimes used for states auditions (all-state band/orchestra in highschool) because of that.

[@sasquatch6903]

@@PtitBebelapinoublanc Interesting it sounds hard to me! i like it a lot it's something soothing about this music

[@BarbieGirlMaeve]

@@sasquatch6903 yes it’s super hard! It’s a Grade 8 piece for Associated Board music exams. I learnt it at 17 for my grade 8 flute exam and still try to play it once a year at least. It’s very tricky but a beautiful flute piece. I’m 31 now and don’t get to practice my flute as much as I’d like sadly 😢
