Handel Sonata No.1 in e minor

[@danawinsor1380]

Bravo! Beautiful rendition of this difficult sonata. Many people may not realize how long many of the phrases are with no place to breathe!

[@happynameday]

Did anyone else see the thumbnail and think it was Eddie from TwosetViolin? Haha, bravo, Alecx!

[@AlecxChung]

I wish I could be as funny and as good as them haha! Thank you!

[@happynameday]

@@AlecxChung Lol! :)

[@arintilara3489]

Im playing this for a state festival and this is what I use for an example this is amazing. Keep up the good work!

[@baronvonlichtenstein]

I'm guessing it sounds good even without keyboard accompaniment, Handel was so good at melody.

[@baronvonlichtenstein]

That may be the most sophisticated melody I've ever heard. I know there is harmonic minor in there, but god knows what else.

[@extremelysmall_ant3424]

its a bit melodic minor and major at some points

[@MarquisYeungflute]

Nice piece and nice flutist

[@rfguys2206]

You are really good! Your sound is beautiful 😍

[@lindaspitzer642]

Beautifully played! Your tone is so clean and crisp! I just bought a Lafin headjoint for my Brannen. I’d love to sound like this!!!

[@lynseyb1]

Wow,that was brilliant! Sounded so effortless!! I'm in the process of learning this, hope I can get it to sound half as good!!! :-D All the best x

[@AlecxChung]

Thank you, Lynsey! Enjoy the piece! :)

[@patrickjwilliams8342]

Beautifully elegant.

[@madalenafrazao4088]

I'm 14 and I'm playing this sonata. It's very hard but I already can play 1, 2 and 3 movements. For me, the most difficult part is 4th movement

[@hudson5488]

i’m 12 doing this. the second movement is the hardest

[@veronikaw2627]

I wish I was this good at this! I feel really bad now 😭 Your sound is amazing!

[@mamaluigi6949]

Don’t feel bad! It takes time and practice to get to this level :) rather than comparing yourself, use this as motivation to be like him

[@Alicia-ee4io]

Flauto Grave. 2:18 Allegro. 4:03 Adagio. 4:47 Allegro.

[@tenzi5877]

Wow you're so good.... I have to learn this in like a month (I haven't been playing that long) for an audition so you're really helping!

[@AlecxChung]

tenzi 587 thank you very much! Delicate and slow practice would be a great help! Good luck for your upcoming audition!

[@tenzi5877]

Alecx Chung thanks 👍🏻

[@AlecxChung]

Trying out my new Lafin Headjoint...

[@margaretjames1579]

Thank you. At 76 I picked up this and my 1925 Haynes that I have not played in years. I hope I live a few more years so I can play this again. It is so perfect

[@margauxdelecour2431]

Trying to play it but it's too fast (2nd movement particularly)

[@JakeSteels]

Awesome!

[@arintilara3489]

The only part that peeves me a little was in the third movement he added a lot of ornament which was a little annoying but I could deal with it

[@gmmg-o2z]

2:21 2악장!!!😀😀😀

[@Salo_meen]

Me gusto!

[@nicolamatteini4699]

Bravo!

[@인천플룻플루트앙상블]

좋아여

[@rachel3.o789]

Wow!

[@jedisarah501st]

I am playing this piece for a solo. I noticed that you added some trills and turns. Was this in you music or did you just add them in? If they were in your music, who revised it? By the way, you did an amazing job!!!!!!!!!!

[@AlecxChung]

Thank you very much Sarah! There were some marked on the edition that I'm using but I also added some on my own (especially the third movement).

[@jedisarah501st]

Alecx Chung, thank you so much for your time!!!

[@danawinsor1380]

Sarah -- Adding ornaments such as trills and turns is standard practice for music from this era. There are books that discuss how to do this, but the best way to learn is by listening, both to recordings and live performances by artists who are experienced in the interpretation of baroque music.

[@SolsGarage]

Adding personal ornamentation is standard in Baroque era music!

[@sarahsmongeski7048]

Nice - and what flute "body" are you playing?

[@jonaswitzmann5299]

I Think its a Yamaha
