How to play a VIVALDI CONCERTO! | Team Recorder

[@Cecilia-bp2dn]

11:38 ... wow what breath control Sarah - amazing!

[@SuryanIsaac]

Vivaldi seemed to really like the 4 notes descending motif. I've seen it in so many concerti.

There were a lot of RVs I knew. This is the first time I've seen a video like this. It was interesting. thank you.

[@jjf6257]

Thanks for the video! I don't think I will ever play any of these but you never know. Then one story about Vivaldi's concerto, recorder and me. When I was a kid, I heard once a really beautiful melody. I loved it and I heard it also later several times from the radio, my sister's cds etc. I thought it was maybe the most beautiful melody in the world and when I grew up I started to whistle it sometimes. I didn't know the composer, the name of the melody or anything and whenever I heard it I couldn't check what it was. I heard it even in the church played with the organ two times. I didn't know for which instrument it was originally composed. And when I grew I started to listen more Stravinsky, Shostakovich and composers like that, less baroque and other "easier" music. Then I was over 30 when I bought my first recorder after I played it at school. I started to listen recorder music, too. One day I was listening a cd I had borrowed and there it was! It is the second part of RV 443 (largo). I don't know how many times I have now listened it during past two years and I still think it can be the most beautiful melody ever played. I can also play it myself somehow, not like a pro but like a decent self-taught amateur. Well, it was just a story about Vivaldi, recorder and me. I love all the Vivaldi recorder music but the second part of RV 443 is the best. I think I will go and listen it once more, played by Lucie Horsch.

Thanks for the master class! Practice techniques are always appreciated, especially for more complex pieces.

[@steveparker9361]

Hi Sarah. This is exactly the video I'd been hoping you would make. Lots of great tips there, more like this please! The way you and Lucie whizz through pages of semiquavers is so next-level compared to what us mere mortals can do 😊

[@DharmaJakon]

This video is just what I needed! I’m trying to learn Vivaldi’s concerto rv 441 and your tips are definitely going to be very helpful, thank you Sarah ☺️

[@MsBettyRubble]

How nice to wake up to a video from you! I love vivaldi. I played his music on violin as a kid. Looking forward to playing his music on the recorder. Thanks, Sarah!

[@grace-yp3sv]

heck, i'm a flutist/piccolist, and even though they're for sopranino, they're part of standard piccolo rep nowadays, so this has been really helpful.

[@terohyvarinen4358]

That Tempesta di Mare: "That's just scales!" I have recently been wondering how Vivaldi could make sawing scales up and down to such a great piece of music :D

[@aeolusjoshua]

I love Vivaldi so much, and RV 441 is one of my favorite. I hope that I can play it someday.

[@stephenmartin8197]

Sarah, you have some great tips on practicing that apply to those who aren't up to Vivaldi yet!

[@carolinajackson6916]

I want to play the recorder like you ❤️ Time to practice!

[@jessicavaliente9342]

Sarah, three questions: 1.) Il Cardellino isn't for sopranino? I always thought it was. 2.) Do you recommend a progressive order for learning the Vivaldi concerti? Which would you recommend as the first one to master? 3.) Finally, I love your practice techniques -- there are a couple of new ideas that I hope will help me break through a tempo glass ceiling that has barricaded me for years. But are there any alternate fingerings you recommend for speed? I've always thought the tempi the virtuoso players can achieve are not possible with exclusively standard fingerings.

[@olivierbacquet6273]

Thank you !

[@lolitalouca]

thank you. may favourite is michael schneider.

[@ianletbey]

I absolutely love RV 440!

[@chaos6695]

This is really a boon. Smart practicing is just more fun too. Do you have a video on planning practice sessions in general?

[@warrenmarga]

i love 441 is like my life achievement if i can play it smothly. hope i can play it. the third movement need to be discuss also. hope you bring the third movement up

Thanks for the info!!!!!

[@onemanfran]

Dan Laurin for me is the ultimate recorder player and his recordings of the Vivaldi concertos with the Drottningholm ensemble are for me the gold standard.

[@millennial8441]

I have this CD. It is amazing!

[@stevenmccann7080]

Yes he's good, but I prefer the Bruggen version.

[@scottj8791]

Wow, so much good advice! You are very generous to share all this with us. Thank you.

[@ninjaaron]

Vivaldi wrote his recorder concertos so that one day Maurice Steger could play them at 500 bpm.

[@ZvikaDror]

Inspiring video! I would try Vivaldi then :) Thank you

[@marelisebrink8727]

I literally started learning RV 443 yesterday! Your timing is impeccable

[@samanthathompson9812]

I played a lot of those alto ones on the modern flute. I didn't think it had the same range.

[@chungchung7662]

This is so awesome, thanks!!

sarah please make a review of the yamaha yrf-21 the recorder fife pleeeease pleeeease!!

[@joanarboleda3472]

👌👌👌

[@paulhair6600]

Sarah please talk about that rough passage from RV 445. The gardelino I like to play the sopranino, I think the idea sounds better aesthetically. since the bird in question sings on the same record that Vivaldi uses on the violin Summer of opus 8.

[@paulhair6600]

Thanks for the masterclass

[@DanielRamos-gv5gi]

great video! ive been in love with the c minor concerto for months too!! ps i LOVE your top its super cute

do you have any general advice on which note of a group of four to skip for a breath? looks like you were skipping #4, the repeat of the middle note?

[@ankavoskuilen1725]

Wow, I love Vivaldi but he is difficult to play! Thank you for all the examples of his music you showed us. I knew them all and I thought: o yes, I am going to play them too! These pieces are so beautifull! Thank you also for the practising tips! They are great! Very usefull!

[@andrewquirey7364]

So from an authentic perspective these concertos split between the soprano and alto plus the garkline. Though I know he composed 6 of them I think. Though you here them played on modern flutes. Would all the handel sonatas for flute be the same.

[@gabrielvieira9832]

I guess is the third video that I was about to ask you and then you just read my mind.

[@a_person5853]

I have a question- I'm a beginner tenor, what's a relatively easy classical piece for a tenor?

[@chitrumbo112]

I don't think one breath would be possible on flute!! :)

[@idraote]

Hello Sarah! Lovely dress, the one you're wearing in this video. I just love Vivaldi. He has that wonderful "singing" quality to his music and he was, in my opinion, congenitally incapable of writing a single bad note. He may have written some bland and or unoriginal pieces, but there is not a single piece of him that one could judge as being ugly or bad. His concerti for recorder are just beautiful!

[@luckybarrel7829]

Wow, what you played in one breath took my breath away. I assumed y'all just went for circular breathing with Viv. My current fav is 443 largo cause even I can attempt it. Slowly starting to dive into Viv, was so stuck up on Bach. I can't play anything right yet but am I having fun or what?! For exercise 5 silent fingers, are you using your tongue to stop the airflow or do you just stop?

Vivaldi was music master for a girl school and he had to compose for all of them no matter their inclination, to learn to play a musical instrument.

Is it correct to say that anything you play on alto you could play on soprano, given the option of transposing?

[@Team_Recorder]

Definitely!

[@SuperHyperExtra]

Opus 10 by Frans Brüggen and the Orchestra of the 18th Century, first released in 1979. Nos. 1 (La Tempesta di Mare), 2 (La Notte), 5 and 6 on recorder. Nos. 3 (Il Gardellino) and 4 on traverso. Interesting original versions with woodwinds in the orchestra (exept for nos. 4 and 5, accompanied by the “standard” string orchestra).

Hello😊

[@gianlucabarilli9031]

Ciao.How much is recognizable in a few notes the red priest (Vivaldi) and how much is still so profoundly Italian in the melodies despite the many centuries of distance. Impossible not to love him. Excuse me for the banalities... Hahahaha

[@carudatta]

Khrrrr... Can't wait till I actually get to that level.

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

Thank you for the tips! The problem with Vivaldi was that he essentially still wrote with the violin in mind even when writing for the recorder, so this forces you into doing almost "unnatural" things. It might appear to be problematic, but it eventually comes out as being an excellent excercise.

[@jantigercat]

Corelli, too.

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

@@jantigercat Almost all of Corelli's wind parts just are doublings of the strings, so he barely sprung me to mind...

[@shpilbass5743]

09:45 hurt me

[@millennial8441]

The problem is Vivaldi was good on composing for the strings. When he tries to compose for the wind instruments he delivers all those violin-like arpegiated and broken chords phrases, all them very very long. But I like Vivaldi a lot!

[@Michajeru]

I don't understand how a chord can be played on a recorder. Obviously my knowledge of music is lacking but I thought a chord was several notes played simultaneously as on a piano or guitar. I would be very appreciative if someone would explain this to me.

[@wapolo1974]

You're correct: technically, you can't play a chord on a melody instrument, as it is physically impossible to play more than one note at a time, but in this case it is done by playing it as an arpeggio, similar to how you would on either a lute or guitar. At least, that's my understanding; I maybe wrong. ;)

[@Michajeru]

@@wapolo1974 Thanks for your explanation. I wonder why Sarah used the word "chord" instead of "arpeggio" especially as she is teaching at an advanced level in this video.

[@brendanlucas4316]

I think it's to give an outline of the notes and to make it easier to describe?

[@moni-ja]

@@Michajeru Because "arpeggio" just describes HOW the group of notes are played but not which notes and "chord" means a certain group of notes.

“Concerti” that’s plural for "concerto." Nonetheless, “concertos” is also acceptable in the English language. The etymology of the word, however, is from the Italian. 😉
