Moral of the comments: No matter what instrument you play, this song is really fun to play. -A trumpet player

I love how the flutes panic when they see this

2nd movement 2:58 3rd movement 5:44 4th movement 8:02

The high school band I play in is giving this a whirl, and it's just a blast. I love our tuba section and all, but until I heard this, I had no idea there was that little tuba lick in the very beginning. Holy crap, they need to go to town on that part. It's the bee's knees.

Bass clarinets are so underestimated

懐かしいです。中学1年生の時に吹きました。チャルダッシュが凄く楽しい、素敵な曲です。あと、タンバリンが格好良すぎる。今でも大好き。

Playing this in senior band and I am in love with all 4 movements. It's just so much fun to have a bassoon part that is something other than half or whole notes.

THIS IS SO GOOD I love how there's a little bit of something fun in there for every instrument. So cool.

The tambourine part is stunningly fun to play in this piece, particularly in the first movement. You carry the entire tempo change on your back. Great piece, definitely a favorite of mine.

I love composers that love the clarinet

My goodness. Loved playing the tambourine part.

As a euphonium player, it's always nice to get a mixture of the melody, harmony and bass line since the range of our instrument is amazing :) But honestly, the second movement gives me chills down my spine because do how it's so melodic and how the instrumentalist has brought it to life, the oboe especially was amazing as his or her notes were very clear and beautiful. All four movements are different but with good reason :)

we do this in band at the moment its brilliant, i love the french horn parts.

Though not the most difficult piece I've played, as an avid euphonium player I have to say that this is one of my favorite songs. Great mixture of high and low voices and the way Van der Roost maintains the original theme throughout is awesome. I can't decide which movement is my favorite...

Played this when I was in the Texas A&M University concert band. French Horn. Loved it every single time we played it.

As a double bass player it's really beautiful finding a piece that uses the pizzacato of the instrument to it's advantage to spice the piece

ok i see jan van der roost out here makin some fire music 🔥 apparently sight reading this tomorrow in band

I play clarinet! This piece is fun to play! I love it!

I have to say 3rd and 4th movements where my favorite just because of how upbeat they where and because i got to beat the crap out of the cymbals :)

playin bari sax in state honors band swaggy asf

Umm...first horn! Within the horn section of our band (a grand total of two) the word Puszta has come to mean "I'm extremely happy and I'm feeling epic, but my face is dead." We've played the song a grand total of once...love at first note.

RIP piccolo players

2nd Tenor Trombone going strong🙌🏼🙌🏼😂

ほんとに佼成のチューバの音って他のプロと異質というか（もちろんいい意味で） すごい好きな音です。

Playing Principal Tuba on this in my high school band, I adore the "feature" at the beginning of the 1st mvt.

clarinet part's lit!!

Playing 1st oboe on this piece is awesome! Especially the 2nd movement :D

I play tuba in a AA highschool and this song was easily my favorite

Amazing lower brass and Barry sax, you can hear everything. Well balanced! Played this song during high school, brought back awesome memories👍🏼

This is a very, very good performance. And such an excellent arrangement for the woodwinds! Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra is a treasure.

i absolutely love this song! and its really fun to play....and this is coming from a tuba player! so beautiful! :)

this shit is fire fam, especially that that fuckin alto sax melody in the 3rd movement, sounding all egyptian and shit fuck me

1st clarinet reppin, one of the most enjoyable pieces I've ever played. Fun part from the very beginning. My other first clarinet buddy squeaked in the clarinet solo, in concert. Good times.

the french horn parts are the best, period

1st Trumpet for life!

One of the most fun pieces I've ever played... our conductor was jumping aroundon stage during our honor band concert. So much fun. - clarinet player:)

I'm playing this on clarinet in honor band and it's really fun I love it

hahaha played the tuba for this. Love it

2 clarinet, very beautifull to play :))) i love this song!!

CLARINETS!

2nd alto here, played this in 2013 and absolutely fell in love with it, especially the 1st movement.

Horn part in the end of the 3rd movement changed my life, not so much emphasized in this version but when we played it... always blew me away. Favorite piece ever.

Hayley recommended this to me you better give her a million dollars now

Loved playing first trombone for this song in college!

I like it, it is catchy.The percussion, trumpets and flutes are good

Forget the 1st clarinet part. I got the Eb clarinet part :) So much more epic

This is hands down my favorite piece I played in High School. So much fun on the clarinet!

Very nicely done! Love this piece by Jan Van der Roost.

Tambourine's a bitch. Not too difficult, but fingers can hurt after a while.

AMAZING

Good memories with this piece 🙏

Played this in nursery school on twelve instruments. Got first chair in the Philharmonic.

Fantastico 👏

Wow, LOVE this song! I remember playing this in the Texas All-State Band (1st Trombone) concert back in 1995, I think it was. Great memories!

I absolutely love this song. My band is playing it right now! It's incredible.

I really love it. We are playing it now and this is very very beautiful! -oboe player

I´m playing the 1st Solo Flute and the Picc in this piece. It´s so much fun! I really love it! The IV movement is absolutely amazing!

where my fellow struggling piccolos at???

i loved playing this on bass trombone and playing the tuba part, being able to play with the tuba section is always fun

Fuck me this is some good music

I did too!! it was so much fun! they were my first band solos too!

I performed this on tuba with the 2022 Florida All-State Concert Band!!

love that

well done, our concert band performed this - magical!

Though the first movement is torture.. Go 1st flutes!!

thank you again for providing music that i can't really find anywhere.

One of the few pieces that effectively make use of different tuba parts.

this is literally one of my best school memories ^.^

演奏していて楽しいです！

Jeez, this was such a fun song to play in band. It brings back memories of high school :')

As a novice trombone player I can say that this is a very fun and challenging price to play!

playing this for my schools spring concert. so excited to get the 1st chair clarinet part under my fingers

excellent performance. we played this with our brass orchestra in Germany some years ago, it was difficult but also great fun playing it. and it was a great success, the audience loved it.

Clarinet player. FUN!

I love the accelerando in the fourth movement.

its all about first oboe

This song made me so happy!!!! I played it for honor band on contrabass clarinet

I was first trumpet on this, I got the solo in movement ii and this is by far my favorite piece I’ve ever played in band.

Played this my freshman year, it was hard for me at the time but now that i think of it this is cake if you really get into it honestly!

#SEMPER FIDELIS #QUA PATET ORBIS #JE MAINTAN DRAI ! ♫♪ great ♫♪♫♪♫♪☺ BRAVISSIMO @/bisbis 🎶🎵🎼 great music! a well tuned ensemble that sounds like an organ ! Fabulous banding!

this is my fave song currently. in the beginning of the year I couldn't play anything, but now I'm improving and i can't wait to perform it for kiwanis

No love for those tambourine skills?

I played this in high school! very fun song to play!

Played 2nd trombone in state band in 8th grade (was really mad I couldn't play first haha). I knew this song was amazing and super fun to play, but I had forgotten how most of it went. Brings back good memories this is such a work of art!

Yeah, I play alto sax. We played this in my freshman year; it was one of the first pieces I got to play that was pretty sophisticated (I remember thinking "alright! Music!"). I found it fun to play. We saxophone players were rather fond of the E to low B part (third or fourth movement, though it escapes me which--by listening now I am inclined to say fourth). It was just hilariously awkward.

this is cool

Love this piece!! I'm playing it in High school as a sophomore and I'm first alto on first part!! :) I LOVE THIS PIECE SO MUCH Jan Van der Roost is awesome. Period.

My band FaceTimed Mr. Roost and played for him to receive feedback on how he wants it to be played. Very humble and wholesome man with many great ideas, we were very lucky to get his critic.

I demanded my teacher to give me the tambourine part cuz it’s iconic

I am the first clarinet in my band and I am more than obsessed with this😍

I played this about 20 years ago in All County band (small county). The difference was my director instead opted to play the 3rd, 2nd and 4th movements, in that order and no 1st movement at all.

played timpani for this my senior year of high school, best piece out of my 4 years

I love Puszta

E-flat clarinet!

I am playing first clarinet for this at districts this year. It's so fun! (:

As a flute player this piece is a beast start to finish but I love it either way

The bone part for this is so FUN hot damn!!

I remember playing this song in District last year- Really fun and beautiful! Only problem is getting those hella fast flute fingerings down. @1st movement

this was one of my favorite pieces to play, greetings from a Euphonium player
