well i i don't have to say how much we appreciate you coming out on such a day and  very delicate are authentic instruments are handmade folk instruments we don't have any ancient instruments  and if you could tell me what animal this is whether that's an armadillo or whatever that would be great this is a favorite of mine i don't know fact are a little bit hard to play sometimes because there are handmade and different species but here we go and oh in the title he says this is proper for the german flute so this was the the the new wave of instruments but it's very actually my well i think western music would not have gotten far with this as being the only flute so they fortunately started building so that is pretty awkward on this flute but it still works but that when this came on the scene the recorder dropped out of fashion because organist that johann sebastian bach himself walked two hundred miles to here play and i think he studied with him as well and handel really wanted it and but there was one stipulation for this job was that they had to marry his daughter tried for years to find the music of this i looked everywhere every composer i thought and fairly recently i came across the movement i came across the page and guess what i had it the whole time in my collection of music because it was buried in a sonata written when he was seven years old and the movement is just the most profound to me common they have a small group of notes that get sort of reworked and returned in but very unusual for them to go in a long direction or scale up or down but most are in the second half did just that and so here e is at seven years old not just breaking the rules but making new ones for everyone  somewhere in between the two this period that would be between this one and this one but i you know think i will ever be able to play one because not only are they built by man i think they're made for man's hands and i can't make the reach because they're a combination they started adding lots of keys on the much as fifty pounds just to to to wear something let alone take a good press think someone would kill off or so i'm going to play the song the transposed in different keys in different intervals but this is a favorite of  easier to travel and move about the world but so including in your music oh far away places was the big fashion and i love how this piece three times oh he gives the theme the beginning middle and end and it's treated differently each time and the last time he eliminates the the third of the or which he makes then the sound more modal and german flute in a flea market in ohio and they were both unplayable and it took a year plus of restoration so this is very fun share this with you all working of the of the flute as it is today but eric is has written a little piece for us he couldn't come here because of the snow he said that the title includes corporator two words that one doesn't particularly associate with each other  but it picks up on the introspective and longing aspect of tango this elegy is not for anyone in particular but just a sentiment for the memory  about and i'm sure that's not a complete list  written oh based on a poem in the eighteenth century about women suffering the degradation of i guess what the troubled life himself
