In this groundbreaking interview, the very fine flutist Barbara Allen tells what she has learned from Aesthetic Realism about the profound relation between a person’s way of seeing the world and her ability to play her instrument with depth and honest beauty. She is interviewed by composer Dr. Edward Green.
Listen and you’ll be amazed at the logic of what she explains; and you also will hear great evidence of her success in the beautiful passages she plays by Mozart, Bach and Gluck.
While this site is principally devoted to rock and roll, when something this big happens in the world of music as a whole, I feel I owe it to you, my readers, to let you know.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and exciting interview! I love what Ms. Allen shares about how Aesthetic Realism affected her flute playing. Learning about the opposites involved in playing flute, as well as other musical instruments, is thrilling and magnificent! And she describes how an instrument joins the player with the world, as well as how the world is honored through playing the flute, and in LOVE. What a deep and important concept!
