Born in Fukuoka, Japan. After completing her studies in Tokyo, she moved to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris, where she graduated with honors.
I first heard Fauré's Requiem when I was fourteen. At that time, my entire perception was focused on the creativity of one of the Viennese classics, the creator of the most famous mass of consolation - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Partita in A minor for traverso is a perfect example of the genius of composer J.S. Bach. Bach was born in 1685 in Germany and was one of the most important Baroque composers. His work encompasses a wide range of musical forms, including cantatas, fugues, preludes, suites, and concertos. The Partita in A minor for traverso consists of several movements, and the Sarabande is one of the pieces often performed solo. Katja Pitelina, a talented traverso flutist, performs this partita with great precision and artistic sensitivity. The form of the sarabande, popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, is characterized by a slow tempo and contains melancholic melodies. Bach uses this style to create a deeply moving musical work that immerses the listener in a world of emotions and reflections. The Partita in A minor for traverso is an excellent example of the technical skills required of a soloist. Katja Pitelina handles the challenge beautifully, demonstrating her virtuoso abilities in difficult phrases and technical difficulties. This partita is also a significant work in the context of the Baroque era. Bach was one of the main representatives of this musical period, and his music is valued for its harmony, counterpoint, and original approach to composition. Katja Pitelina's reinterpretation of the Partita in A minor for traverso perfectly captures what Bach's music is about - mystical, full of emotions, and technically demanding. Her performance is a tribute to the composer who created many masterpieces that continue to delight listeners around the world.
It's a wonderful performance! Katja Pitelina has mastered the technique of playing the traverso flute and beautifully interprets the Sarabande from J.S. Bach's Partita in A minor. This melancholic and emotional music allows me to travel back in time and imagine the old days when Bach was composing these pieces. I am glad that such talented young musicians continue the tradition of performing classical music. I am truly impressed!
