Crazy titch sing along - Classical sample?

Hey can anyone identify the classical sample used in Crazy Titch's "sing along track"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM59LQOn_0Q Mega helpful if you can name what key it's played in, name of the piece, if it's part of a concerto etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.86.198 (talk) 00:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did you just assume it was from a classical piece or did you read/hear that somewhere? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 03:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The song is known independent of Crazy Titch as Gype Riddim, but I don't know what sorts of tracks it samples (it may be a soundtrack, commercial, classical...). --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:51, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is the music that starts playing at the party scene exactly 1h 16min 57s into the movie? Th4n3r (talk) 11:41, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's only been out for 6 weeks and is not yet on DVD or youtube. Maybe you're assuming we have access to a pirated copy and can jump to the exact spot. Maybe that's how you managed to time it. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 19:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming someone recognised a clearly distinctive tune at the party scene. Th4n3r (talk) 15:36, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Found it, Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns. Zero thanks to User:JackofOz. Th4n3r (talk) 16:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, colour me dumb, but I still don't see how the exact timing of the relevant spot was in any way useful, given that nobody has seen the movie outside of a cinema. Legally, that is. Do cinema patrons normally carry stop watches with them in your part of the world? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 10:46, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Playing the flute with just the mouthpiece and footjoint

Have you ever tried to play a flute with just the mouthpiece and footjoint?? You might have practiced playing a flute with just the mouthpiece. You will get the note A (the first ledger line above the staff) if you blow through the mouthpiece. But try to play a flute by connecting just the mouthpiece and footjoint (omit the body.) What notes can you play?? My answer is:

Blowing in without pressing any keys will give you E (the fourth space of the staff.)
Blowing in and pressing the E-flat key will give you the G above this E.
Blowing in and pressing the D-flat key will give you the D below this E.
Blowing in and pressing the low C key will give you the C below this E.

Any more complete list of this anyone can find online?? Or are these the only 4 notes that can be played on a flute using just the mouthpiece and footjoint?? Georgia guy (talk) 18:54, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can't you, using your embouchure, bend those notes (say a half-step or even a whole-step up or down) to get notes other that those? I don't play the flute but I can do that kind of stuff on the sax. However I've been told this is achievable on all woodwinds to a lesser or greater extent. Contact Basemetal here 19:36, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How about if you blow really hard? I have zero experience of playing any blown instruments (bar experiments with a tubular metal chair for a school production when I was 14), but I have seen what people like Rahsaan Roland Kirk can do with overblowing. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 212.95.237.92 (talk) 21:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You might be able to find more online information by searching with the keywords "extended technique" along with "flute". Apparently the Hungarian fl(a)utist and composer István Matuz composed Six Studies per Flauto Solo with unusual combinations such as the second study 'played with head and (B)-footjoint only ("Body-less flute")'. (Other studies include playing the flute shakuhachi style (without headjoint), with a balloon doing the blowing, using a saxophone mouthpiece, ...). I found this on Helen Bledsoe's "Long List of Graded Repertoire with Extended Techniques". ---Sluzzelin talk 22:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
