Maybe you have a bucket list. I spose most of us do and I've been checking things off mine as I go, but there's one thing I'd love to do and doubt I'll ever get the chance and that is to play the flute part in Mahler's 3rd Symphony, 6th movement. If you watch the video at 2:11 you'll appreciate the wonderfully smooth transition from flute to piccolo. Okay... I know...the director...Gustavo Dudamel is a kick to watch. He is from Venezuela and was only 21 years of age when he directed this incredible piece. If anyone has conductor aspirations, this is a good watch.
Go to the bottom of the page and turn off the music, then click the video for a great listen.
