Run don't walk oh excellent flute-lovers.
Here's the first round of this year's Nielsen competiton.
Love the Dutilleux Sonatine and the gorgeous close-up HD camera work.
Check it out; we all learn so MUCH!

Comments welcome, just use the comment button below. You can even link to the performance you're talking about! (For example: I just noticed thumbport and lefthand friction-grip, just like me, with this incredibly musical 18 yr old fluteplayer.)

Update Round 2: Sadly these films are still not online by April 28th 2019. Doh!
I had watched the Round 2 with "own compositions" based on flute solo literature LIVE, when the competition was on.
It was super fascinating. See below in the repertoire list for Round 2: "Playing around Nielsen" for how the flute-alone pieces were composed.
Note: Round 2 Replay films not on website for four weeks!
Calendar says "Replays coming soon" for round 2.

Also, really enjoyed this from their blog: Win Before Playing. Quote:
Rune Most, one of the distinguished judges on the Nielsen Flute panel, expressed this morning that judges often know who the winners are the moment they arrive on stage, before they’ve played a note.
And that’s not because of the bios competitors supply with their applications, but because of the energy that arrives with the player.
If true music is between the notes, as Mozart claimed, then spirit is before and around them. This energy, communicating differently in individual competitors, was particularly apparent in the candidates that progress to the next round as announced this evening.
The confidence of authenticity and genuine discovery was obvious in the warm smiles of genuine enjoyment that passed between Joséphine Olech and her collaborative pianist Seung Won Lee; in the fluid physicality of Marianna Julia Żołnacz, in the edgy, controlled excitement of Rafael Adobas Bayog and the contained delicacy of Livia Duleba. Notably strong ensemble work has been consistent in this two day first round.

Enjoy!
Most incredible energy for own composition (super inventive!) see this Bavog performance for flute alone of Nielsen Playing Around.

2nd Round (12 players), with piano accompaniment

or Franz Schubert: Introduction and variations D. 802. Repeat the sections in the A part and no repeats in the B part.
or Sigfrid Karg-Elert: Sinfonische Kanzone op. 114
Be creative! Create your personal collage by
PLAYING AROUND NIELSEN.
Create and perform a 10-15 minutes collage for flute alone, and include the following points:
Your collage must consist of flute solo pieces from 1700 to 2018 in free musical dialogue and exchange with excerpts of music by Carl Nielsen – i.e. Nielsen’s solo flute piece “The Children are Playing” or excerpts of other Nielsen compositions (i.e. solos, phrases, cadenzas from the concerto, from the quintet, themes from symphonies, etc).
Feel free to include solo pieces from the entire flute repertoire but keep an emphasis on flute music from the late 20th and 21st century – e.g. Berio / Takemitsu / Ferneyhough / Pintscher. Creative new arrangements with excerpts of compositions are possible, but also entire works may be played.
The goal is to show a variety of sounds, colors and expressions of the flute instrument.
You will be asked to provide the music of your PLAYING AROUND NIELSEN for the jury prior to the competition.
Example for better understanding: Be as creative as possible by watching the time-proportions of your collage: Have at least 51% of contemporary music, about 10-20% of Nielsen’s music and the rest of any other style.
