And the winners of the Erik Bosgraaf CD giveaway are announced! Question: bow many alto recorders tall is Erik? The answer...... FOUR!!! The following winners were chosen at random, and each will receive a CD of Erik’s :) - Leena L. E. - Jose C. Martin - Jessica Daniels - GlowingFreezer - Bill Ewan
This was lovely. For a moment, especially when you played medieval and renaissance improvisations, I was plunged in the era watching musicians of the time playing for me...
Thank you Sarah and Erik! It's amazing how wonderful the examples are. What an inspiration to work towards such free space in music. I think everyone has spent eons reading and reading. What a wild thought to be free of the print and yet sing out through our recorders anywhere and anytime.
1. Thank you for this improvising lesson! 2. I like your camera. It did it right! :-) (Because I don't like modern style) 3. I believe Erik Bosgraaf is as tall as FOUR alto recorders. 4. I subscribe now. 5. Best regards to Erik Bosgraaf: I like him playing the "The Flute's Garden of Delight" from Jacob van Eyck! - A dream!
About the CD's: I estimate Erik to be 4 treble recorders long. Or if a more exact estimation is desired: 4.25 treble recorders. Question to you all: what is your favorite CD of Bosgraaf? In my opinion, Bosgraafs cd Hotel Terminus is very nice for the late hours. (Although I love also Baroque CD's of Erik.) The first time I listened it via Spotify, I thought it was strange music. Later, it came back on Spotify in the night. At that time of the day, I liked it very much. I would like it very much to get that CD. However, the other CD's will probably also be beautiful. What a blessing that five CD's are given away! Therefore, special thanks for Sarah and Erik. Further: Some wisdoms of Erik which I like: ''I think it is important to focus on the simplicity.'' ''This is a little rule for yourself: Don't play a note before you hear it in your head.'' Like last week, Erik again showed his language is not dull at all :) I am looking forward for the next video
Leena L.E. Hi, you are one of the five giveaway winners! Please send me your name and poast address to info@sarahjeffery.com, and I’ll send you your Cd 😊 Congrats!

This question 🤣 I'd say he's around 4.2 alto recorders tall. (He's very tall omg 😮) Thank you for this set of videos with Erik! Both of you're so fantastic! This video about improvisation was very useful. I'm kinda afraid to improvise, at least without these small steps it was very difficult for me. Nice to have a method to keep in mind! I'm a big fan of your videos, keep up the awesome work! 🎵
Hi Sarah, Thank you for this informative video :) I enjoyed listening to it, especialy with the drone parts. It gives me inspiration to have a try at it myself :) btw, i reckon Erik is about 4 and 3/4 alto recorders tall

Based on Sarah's height of 160.02 cm (5' 3"), as a point of reference, along with the standard length of an alto recorder of 46.99 cm, (18.5 inches) Erik is approximately 3.84 alto recorders tall. 😊 ♫
Leuke video ! Ik wil ook leren improviseren. Ik heb al een hele reeks "echte" :) instrumenten gespeeld maar nu is het tijd voor de blokfluit ! Blokfluit spelen is voor mij ook heel naturel, je pakt ze gewoon vast en speelt veel "eventjes tussendoor". Oh ja, en ik denk dat Erik (gemeten met mijn Moeck alto ) 4.14 alto's groot is. Grote Nederlander vermoed ik :)
There is a conspiracy (many credible sources) that Erik is in fact the final evolution of the alto recorder. So my answer would be one brilliant alto recorder :)
Great video! I'm intimated about improvising with others because I CANNOT* recognize the key or notes someone else is playing to jump in. People I've encountered who are into improvising are usually the opposite of me - untrained but with a good ear. It helps me a lot to start with the drone or an established bass line. Do you have any other tips? Is it okay to ask what key to use? *I know I could train my ear, but that is not going to happen. It's one of the reasons I pushed music more to my periphery.
5.5 Altos! :D (I learned that ornamentation in French had very strict rules an there was not much room for additional improvised ornaments..am I wrong? Or are you just ignoring this rule because you are the composer at the moment you're improvising? )

By my very unscientific estimation, he is an even four alto recorders tall. Lovely playing the both of you!

Thank you!
Excellent job getting together you two. Congratulations lovely
Yeah, you need to do a video on modern improv. Bring it on!
I am delighted to see this. I musician is not complete without knowing improvisation, in addition to literacy, theory, ear training and history.
I love the renaissance and baroque improvs. This would be a treat to witness in real time. I play the flute and i very much want to achieve this.
I would say 4,4 alto recorders. Two very interesting and helpful videos. Thanks.
4.75 altos tall :) Thank you so much for the lovely video!!! Just beautiful as always.

Fantastic video! Thanks. Eric is 4 recorders high.

Eric is 4,25 altos in 440 or 4,08 altos in 415
Wonderful!
LOVE the drone!!!!
I loved it 😍
Haha the camera just wasn't having it. Thanks very helpful
I saw Erik recently in a concert in Schwelm (Germany) and he is quite tall as I am. I think he is 4 alto Recorders tall
Thanks for the video! If Erik is about 1m91 and an alto is about 47cms, he would be 4 altos tall, and probably weigh about 900 sopraninos
Hahaa
Hi, you are one of the five giveaway winners! Please send me your name and poast address to info@sarahjeffery.com, and I’ll send you your Cd 😊 Congrats!
He ist 4 alto recorder tall (measured with a Steenbergen alto made by Moeck).
Fantastic - thank you both! (5.5 alto recorders!)
I think Erik is 4 alto recorders tall. I loved this video!

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for this informative video :) I enjoyed listening to it, especialy with the drone parts. It gives me inspiration to have a try at it myself :)
btw, i reckon Erik is about 4 and 3/4 alto recorders tall
I enjoyed the drone parts very much, too. Beautiful melodies.
7:18 such a strange noise when he does that! lol Do a lot of fellow recorder players do that too?
Why is it strange in your opinion?
In Corelli's Folia such notes are for example also used:
th-cam.com/video/IZOj3OsnQms/w-d-xo.html
blokfluit piano Enzo is referring to the popping noise he makes before he starts playing
I really enjoy this video! I think that Erik is four alto recorders tall.
Hi, you are one of the five giveaway winners! Please send me your name and poast address to info@sarahjeffery.com, and I’ll send you your Cd 😊 Congrats!
Great video! I would say Erik is exactly 4 alto recorders tall!
You guys are so. much. fun.! I wonder whether Erik could be 4.5 altos tall?
You only need 1 altorecorder to make a recorderplayer so I would say: he is 1 recorder tall.
Great vid! He’s as tall as one alto, in a very low pitch
Based on Sarah's height of 160.02 cm (5' 3"), as a point of reference, along with the standard length of an alto recorder of 46.99 cm,
(18.5 inches) Erik is approximately 3.84 alto recorders tall. 😊 ♫

Ja doe maar, lekker improviseren!
I loved this video! And I think Erik is 5.25 alto recorders tall...
who won and how many altos does he make?
Six and tritone!

4.2 Alto recorders for the win!
8 1/2 alto recorders!!!!

Erik should be tall around 4.5 alto recorders 😂
My best guesstimate is that Erik is around 3.95 alto recorders tall.
Erik is about 4 and a half alto recorders tall.
