Affect in Ornamentation - Tromlitz's Partita in G major, mvt. I

Here's an example of how I use ornamentation as a way to expand and increase intensity in expression.

This is from Johann Tromlitz's Partita II in G major, first movement. The clip shows the sequence going up towards the end. I added a "slide" (0:08) going up to the high C instead of approaching it directly(as written), since it gives us a chance to let our flute sound bloom, making the suspense afterwards even more effective. Then at 0:15, I added a turn going into the final trill (and always good to do trill with termination here), which gives us again a chance to spread our sound and do an effective crescendo through the notes. This creates a flourish effect and is a great way to end the movement, plus it adds style, elegance, and liveliness to the music.

So I encourage you to find these kinds of passages and experiment to enhance expression through ornamentation. It makes music so much more fun and you won't want to go back!
