"Maria plays with an intelligent sound" Aurele Nicolet has said when he heard the young flutist playing, student yet. In her maturity her sound has become more intelligent with an esoteric depth to the very soul of the composition. She proclaims that the work of an artist should not only perceived by our material senses but reach beyond to the invisible platonic world of ideas dominated by the laws of harmony. The mission of the flutist, used to say to her student, is to serve wisdom through love indispensable property of sound produced by a flutist. She is part of those performers' real masters of their craft in such way that technical difficulties of breathing, attack or fingering play no significance to them. Beyond her immaculate technical mastering seeing in her playing Rodrigo's 'Concierto Pastoral' or in Paganini's capriccios, is the lovely interpretation that prevails which is achieved by her reach flexible sound emphasizing each　note with a different colour. Maria is thrill by the challenge presented by those compositions of transcendental technical difficulty, their pure artistic joy in the bravura and sparkling of such arrangements subjugating any appreciation of musical revelation. She also is a master of piccolo producing a magnificent sound especially in the high notes characterized by the absence of any harshness, in the contrary creating a smooth and soothing effect to senses reminding nightingale.
