Flute: Interview and demonstration with principal Jeffrey Khaner발음듣기

(energetic music) (music become tranquil) Jeffrey The flute is made of gold, this particular one is made of gold, they're most often made in silver, but people use wood flutes now, again, as they used to many years ago.발음듣기

Of course, it's a "woodwind" instrument.발음듣기

But this one is 14 carat gold.발음듣기

This particular instrument was made for me specifically by the Yamaha company.발음듣기

It's my own scale, and a specially designed head joint.발음듣기

The scale is the placement of the holes in the tube, and I've found some of the commercially available scales were not exactly the way I would like them myself as a player in the orchestra.발음듣기

So I modified it somewhat to make it more suitable for me.발음듣기

(delicate music) One controls the sound tremendously the way you blow, and I think the way you blow is how you create the tone, really, in the same way that...발음듣기

It's not just the action of blowing that creates the tone, in the same way that on a stringed instrument just drawing a bow across the string isn't what creates the tone.발음듣기

It's the way the violinist fingers it, bows it, it's a combination, how one plays.발음듣기

It's the same thing with a wind instrument, it's how you blow, it's the instrument, it's everything.발음듣기

And everyone has their own tone, everyone develops their own.발음듣기

Every tone is a personality, and the tone is a reflection of the player.발음듣기

I change the way I blow to make different types of sounds and to make different characters for different composers, or even for different characters within one composition.발음듣기

But that being said, I never think actually about what I do.발음듣기

I practice to make different sorts of sounds, and then when it's appropriate I just make those sounds.발음듣기

I don't actually analyze too much how I do it.발음듣기

I practice to have a whole repertoire of sounds, and then I just do them automatically.발음듣기

(serene music) I will approach very differently the different composers.발음듣기

Ravel, for example, the Daphnis and ChloAS suite, which has a huge flute solo, I'm going to think of that completely differently from the way I'm going to play in a Beethoven symphony or a DvoLAAk symphony, or even the Shostakovich symphony.발음듣기

Each one of those composers has a different language and a different character, and I'm certainly going to think differently when I do it.발음듣기

It's probably mostly for me, but the hope is that it translates to the audience, and that they understand the difference in playing.발음듣기

I mean, one should hear a Beethoven symphony very differently from the way one should hear a Brahms symphony.발음듣기

And the players have to reflect that, that's part of our job as interpreters, to show those differences.발음듣기

(sombre music) I started the flute in high school band, in grade seven, and I'm often asked why I chose the flute.발음듣기

I'll be perfectly honest, I don't remember.발음듣기

But I remember that I specifically wanted the flute, and that I rather deviously made sure that I got the flute.발음듣기

My older brother was a cellist, so there was music in the family, but it's not a family of musicians.발음듣기

But I was never told to practice, I was never forced to practice, it's just something that I enjoyed doing.발음듣기

Once I started playing, I just never had any interest in anything else.발음듣기

It was the one thing that I did.발음듣기

I got fairly good fairly early, and of course success makes one want to continue, it's so encouraging, and I just love doing it.발음듣기

(peaceful music) I found that the summer, for me, was the time to always look for the things that I wasn't getting during the year.발음듣기

So even when I was in college, I always went to summer festivals that could offer me something that I wasn't getting in school.발음듣기

Mostly I craved orchestral experience, so I always tried to go to those festivals where I could play as much as possible in orchestras.발음듣기

String players and pianists have the luxury of having great repertoire for themselves.발음듣기

Pianists can play the wonderful, wonderful music, and can make a life out of playing great music all by themselves.발음듣기

And they also play the whole part.발음듣기

And string players have wonderful repertoire, and they can play chamber music by Brahms, by Beethoven, by Mozart.발음듣기

But wind players and brass players don't have that luxury.발음듣기

The music that we have, first of all, is only one line, and there's not that much repertoire written for purely solo instruments.발음듣기

So to play the whole piece, we have to collaborate.발음듣기

To be a great artist on an instrument, you have to play great music.발음듣기

And to play great music, you have to play in the orchestra.발음듣기

Even the same repertoire over and over again with different conductors, different interpretations.발음듣기

This is the most joyful thing I could imagine.발음듣기

To be able to do that for a living is really something very special. (serene music)발음듣기
