I found it! Here is Scarbo from Gaspard de la Nuit, played by Alice Sara Ott. Her technique is impressive.

That is one of the things I love about classical music. It sounds hackneyed, but to me it's an exciting journey of discovery. It makes my day to come across a new composer or piece of music.

Scarbo is part 3 of Gaspard de la Nuit. Ravel and Debussy wrote some of the most exciting music for the piano.

It's interesting to see the sheet music during a performance. Here Ivo Pogorelich plays the entire Gaspard de la Nuit by Ravel. Mortals can only dream of playing like him.



I like to listen to Ravel when I am painting.

I admire Ian Anderson, so the reaction of this classical flautist to his playing is interesting to me.

^ Charming lady. Fifty years ago I would have tried to persuade her to go home with me.

Hermes, a redneck question: a person who plays the flute is a F-L-A-U-T-I-S -T.   The instrument that they command is a F-L-U-T-E.  Help me understand the spelling and perhaps pronunciation of the difference.

Flautist is probably difficult to pronounce properly in most American accents. I suspect most of you will say flahtist, instead of what I consider correct: flawtist, with the au sounded like the oo in floor. Tank, how about in your neck of the woods?

I think the term flutist is used commonly in the USA, while in British English flautist is more common.
