Hello dear friends! Welcome to our brand new podcast dedicated to sight-reading. Why sight-reading? We want to show the behind-the-scenes of music-making. We begin each episode with our initial thoughts on a new score as well as musings about style, aesthetics, and instruments. We challenge ourselves to apply our understanding of historical practices to achieve a more musical reading of a given text. Whether you are amateur musicians looking for tips on sight-reading and insight into historical performance or a seasoned musician, we would be happy if you joined us.

Quantz’s Many Voices – Rachel Brown on Flutes, Colours, and Character (Part 1)

In this episode of (In)Sight-Reading Enlightenment, I sit down with the brilliant flutist and researcher Rachel Brown(Rachel’s website).

We explore the world of original Quantz flutes and discover their surprising personalities — not unlike the Three Tenors, each with their own temperament and flair. Our conversation also touches on the colours and expressive power of tonalities such as E-flat major, G minor, and F minor, and the fingering quirks and possibilities they reveal on the traverso.

The music featured in this episode is Rachel Brown’s recording of Johann Joachim Quantz’s Sonata in B-flat major, QV 1:272 — listen here: YouTube link

This is part one of our conversation — part two will follow with even more insights into Quantz’s world and the art of the flute.
