a lively, jazzy piece from my first public (non-baroque) ensemble performance Claude Bolling - Fugace from Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio Fugace means 'lively' in Italian, at the same time it has features of a fugue, with repeating and interwoven voices, and the instruments also join in one by one. It's written a bit like an improvised jazz performance, but it's actually all composed, the score indicates two short 2-bar improvisation passages for the piano, but i use version written down, so there is no improvisation here. Unfortunately, this score is hard to get, and i couldn't find the drum and bass part, so these musicians came up with their own one relying on the recording, which they did very well i think. Overall our performance could musically definitely be improved, a faster (proper) tempo and 'coordination', but with the little practice time we had (none on the day of the performance) and the lack of original scores, i am very satisfied with the result =) We will probably play more of this exciting suite, i can't wait! check out the channel of the flutist: www.youtube.com/user/Quedel20 Editing: I used a video stabilization filter (Deshaker in VirtualDub), as this was shot from the audience with a handheld camera, so especially in zoom it's not always in focus. Audio Editing: Audacity, Recorded separately with a stereo microphone recorder (Zoom H4), unfortunately only in 128 Kbit/s mp3. Also, the recording was very soft, so i used a 6Db amplification (about four times as loud!?). I hope the balance is alright, the beginning should be mf and the loudest part before the recapitulation ff. Video Editing: Windows Movie Maker. yes, i know, not a very professional editor ^^ but it makes for quick, simple editing. i'll probably look at better programs soon like sony vegas or adobe/magix something.
