Emmanuel Pahud (born 27 January 1970) is a Franco-Swiss flute player.
He was born in Geneva, Switzerland. His father is of French and Swiss background and his mother is French. The Berlin-based flutist[1]is most known for his baroque and Classical flute repertory.
Pahud was born into a nonmusical family.[2] As a young boy living in Italy, Pahud was captivated by the sounds of the flute.[1] From the age of four to the age of 22, he was tutored and mentored by flutists such as François Binet, Carlos Bruneel and Aurèle Nicolet.[3]Classically trained at the Conservatoire de Paris, he leapt into the international orchestral and solo music scene when he joined the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 1992. His versatility in music styles over the years has "signalled the arrival of a new master flautist" (The Guardian).[4] He plays in diverse music genres, whether baroque, jazz, contemporary, classical, orchestral, or chamber music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Austrian
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart[a] (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart,[b] was a prolific and influential composer of the classical era.
Born in Salzburg, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his early death at the age of 35. The circumstances of his death have been much mythologized.
He composed more than 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music.Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote: "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".[1]

Johann Sebastian Bach[a] (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.[3]

The waltz makes a grand entry in the key of B-flat major with loud chords preceded with the waltz's three beats to the bar ushering the first waltz's gentle and swirling melody. The second waltz section invokes the joys of spring with the flute imitating birdsong and a pastoral scene. The plaintive and dramatic third section in F minor probably suggests spring showers whereas the fourth section that follows breaks out from the pensive mood with another cheerful melody in A-flat major. Without a coda, the familiar first waltz melody makes a grand entrance before its breathless finish, strong chords and the usual timpani drumroll and warm brass flourish. A performance lasts between seven and nine minutes.
Lyrics[edit]
The lyrics were created by Richard Genée (1823–1895).
Die Lerche in blaue Höh entschwebt,
der Tauwind weht so lau; sein wonniger milder Hauch belebt und küßt das Feld, die Au. Der Frühling in holder Pracht erwacht, ah alle Pein zu End mag sein, alles Leid, entflohn ist es weit! Schmerz wird milder, frohe Bilder, Glaub an Glück kehrt zuruck; Sonnenschein, ah dringt nun ein, ah, alles lacht, ach, ach, erwacht! Da strömt auch der Liederquell, der zu lang schon schien zu schweigen; klingen hört dort wieder rein und hell süße Stimmen aus den Zweigen! Ah leis' läßt die Nachtigall schon die ersten Töne horen, um die Kön'gin nicht zu stören, schweigt, ihr Sänger all! Voller schon klingt bald ihr süßer Ton. Ach ja bald, ah, ah ja bald! Ah, ah, ah, ah! O Sang der Nachtigall, holder Klang, ah ja! Liebe durchglüht, ah, ah, ah, tönet das Lied, ah und der Laut, süß und traut, scheint auch Klagen zu tragen, ah ah wiegt das Herz in süße Traumerein, ah, ah, ah, ah, leise ein! Sehnsucht und Lust ah ah ah wohnt in der Brust, ah, wenn ihr Sang lockt so bang, funkelnd ferne wie Sterne, ah ah zauberschimmernd wie des Mondes Strahl, ah ah ah ah wallt durchs Tal! Kaum will entschwinden die Nacht, Lerchensang frisch erwacht, ah, Licht kommt sie kunden, Schatten entschwinden! ah! Ah des Frühlings Stimmen klingen traut, ah ja, ah ja ah o süßer Laut, ah ah ah ah ach ja! |
The lark rises into the blue,
the mellow wind mildly blowing; his lovely mild breath revives and kisses the field, the meadow. Spring in all its splendour rises, ah all hardship is over, sorrow becomes milder, good expectations, the belief in happiness returns; sunshine, you warm us, ah, all is laughing, oh, oh awakes! A fountain of songs is rising, who has been silent for too long; from the brush sounds clear and light the sweet voice again! Ah, gently the nightingale lets stream the first notes, so as not to disturb the queen; hush, all you other singers! More powerful soon chimes her sweet voice. Oh, soon, oh, oh soon! Ah........ Oh, song of the nightingale, sweet sound, ah yes! Glowing with love, ah, ah, ah, sounds the song, ah and the sound, sweet and cosy, seems to carry a plaintive note, ah, ah rocks the heart to sweet dreams, ah, ah, ah, ah, most gently! Longing and desire ah, ah, ah lives in my breast, ah, if the song anxiously calls for me, from afar the stars twinkle, ah, ah in shimmering magic like the moons beam, ah, ah, ah, ah wavers through the valley! As haltingly vanishes the night, the lark starts to sing, ah, the light she promises, shadows recede! Ah! Ah springs voices sound like home, Ah yes, ah yes oh sweet sound, Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah yes. |
