Does anyone have the ORIGINAL (Not Fantasie and Variations) Carnival of Venice sheet music for flute solo?
The composer is Giulio Briccialdi.

If you do, please email to apple_us@hotmail.com

Thank you so much in advance!

Here we go again....
It is illegal to copy music. You are asking us to break the law? Why do people keep on asking for music?

Now Kara....I think that this is what they're looking for?!:

Awesome... and ugly IMO. A kind of original... yes.

Hey, is this it????

some people can write the notes out from hearing the sounds.

I agree with Ann, buy it, it's not expensive

Here's another amazing recording with two flutists on one flute: the "Badinerie" from JSG's Suite #2 in b minor, from National Flute Day in Israel with the Israel Philharmonic:

It is JSB's Suite #2 in b minor, of course. I have no idea who "JSG" might be!

Lol, Bilbo!! That guy is incredible!

This technique has the added advantage for people really short of funds he/she may save 50% of the cost, sharing it with the other flutist. And you save a flute too.

No ideas? Sure you have...

-one could cut music stand expense in half as well. One stand, one flute.

-Of course with a free hand, page turning is no longer a problem for those monumental works. One could even direct ensembles or wave at friends in the audience.

"- Flutes become universal, no more debate on offset vrs. inline G and the like.(But sad for Forums like this, they would lose some salt)"
Alas, I'd say that they'd go on to other more important topics.

-adept musicians could play other instruments at the same time. Ex: The "wind" person could play percussion, English handbells, harp, keyboards or even perhaps the accordion. The "fingers" person could sing along, play harmonica (W/support brace) or even a drone pitch on the bagpipes.

the benefits are endless and far outweigh the detractions.


A question Jose,
"- For people abroad (like me)"
How can you be abroad if you're at home?

PS, personally, I don't like reading music from a computer. I prefer paper but I didn't upload it....

Abroad: you are right, but sometimes I get so much involved in this Forum that I behave as if I was in living in USA. And most printed music scores come from there.

Now to the most interesting:

My G.!!! the advantages are so, so much more important than I could ever dream of!

I had no considered the free hand!

Developing this concept, I think that with a little more practise, a good, well acquainted couple could hold the flute by the three usual points: player 1 chin, player 2 LH grip with RH help.

Now, the Player 1 (blower) could use both hands to finger a second flute, with a third player blowing on this second flute but with ***both*** hands free, so that he/she could play any full normal keyboard or string instrument. Not a normal Traversiere, they cannot be played to the left, unless specially made. But maybe a recorder would be fine.

In this way just three players could perform a full, two flutes trio with its Continuo. Violas should be avoided because they require a chin, but with the cello and keyboards it is more than enough.

One could object that with three players a trio is quite straightforward, but now we still have a free mouth left(@ player 2). This could allow daisy chaining of the players, perhaps to a full Music minus 1 (player) -but complete instruments- chamber ensemble.

(One free mouth left for the cello or keyboard player in a normal Trio? Well..., yes, let me think some solution to that objection for a coming post)

I agree that some (increasingly difficult) topology problems would have to be studied and solved. But I leave this possibility to others, more interested in chamber direction issues and with higher math knowledge than I have.

I have to mention the little disadvantage of having to play two different parts at the same time with just one brain; not usual for a flutist but quite normal for keyboard players. So some proficiency in piano, for example, should be useful.

This is something still to be seen in Youtube (one the very few things I can think of) so I claim the originality, at least of the idea.

And there may be many other ideas coming on the pipe. C'mon and get involved, we may be reinventing the music!

So that is what the original poster was looking for... But thanks to his/her inappropriate request we have discovered a whole new world of music making!.

I am one of the flutists who was in the Carnival of Venice from YouTube. The one with two two female students? Yeah, I am one of them.

Just to let you know, because you are outlining the pros and cons of playing with two people on one flute, you do not, in fact, escape the sore wrist that we often experience while playing. Obviously the person who is blowing does not have to use their wrists or fingers, but the person who is doing all of the fingering must twist their wrist to be able to sufficiently reach all of the keys while squished in behind the other person. Instead of your fingers being slanted slightly to the left, like they are when you play the flute alone, your fingers are slanted to the right, and this creates a few issues. We found that it was extremely difficult to play clean chromatic scales because of the awkward angle. Luckily we are both small people, so we were able to stand pretty much side by side, but you will have to spend some time arranging yourselves to fit both of you.

i am going to try the to flutes thing with my sister tomorrow or Emily(my flute playing friend) in orchestra on Tuesday,
have you seen the video of 4 people on the same cello? that is cool,
also you could do the two players thing for other instruments (violin/viola one fingers the other holds the chin rest and bows) (clarinet, trumpet, trombone or sax- same as flute) guitar on fingers one strums, anything with two actions really(blowing/ strummng/ bowing and fingering).

Why do so many peeps ask for free music on this site? I have to buy my sheet music so why would I choose to give it away for free? Peeps wanting everything for free.
