the amount of work it took to get this solo down will forever leave it engrained in my mind and fingers

@@tristansetterdahl7979 yea man this is a tough one

Graduated in 1988.. Played cornet then trumpet. To this day I find my self fingering along to various songs we played.. =)~ Flight of The Bumblebee I played for the fun of it on my own, and played it so much one day almost had no embouchure for a concert. OOPS hahaha

@@TGSamantha091 I love that this is from 2015 and I'm seeing this comment 4 days ago!

Oh, you'll remember certain scale fingerings on your deathbed... never goes away

@@drago7466 It's actually not a C trumpet, and instead, a Bb Cornet.

@@drago7466 no, that is in fact a Bb cornet

@@spencer87v thank you, didn’t know it was a cornet. would’ve been easier for me to identify if his had a shepherds crook on the bell section

+Bill Botzong Ha ha ... didn't notice that ! Thank you !

I'm your 100th like lol

Nanomachines, son.

In orchestra class our teacher and lead showed a video where the guy played this and tipped his horn upside down, rotated 360 through that, it was incredible

He seemed like he was praying for finger strength

Well, to be precise, he is playing the other valves (2 & 3) with the index finger which normally plays valve 1. If he was playing normally, it would still be one finger at a time but using the middle finger for valve 2 and the 4th finger for valve 3. So, it is always with one finger, just which finger is what makes the difference in how it looks.

Ew... xD pozdro dla kumatych

He does have skill but this was for easier playing and switching between notes

When?

the arrogance. and he made some mistakes/could have been better in places. you don't see marsalis showing off like that even though he's better

lol pls don't make fun of him because it does take serious skills to play it, sure it may be easier than let's say the trumpet but he's not doing DING DING DING that's for sure, he has to DING in the right time and so forth.

Surebrec nah the conductor has really skill. HE MAKES MUSIC JUST BY WAVING A STICK IN THE AIR!!

Spartacus Legends The conductor is crucial in many bands, especially in songs that change their tempos. Without a conductor, their performance decrease dramatically.

Tyson S trueee but he makes the songs sound good!!

If you are being sarcastic, I get that he doesn't make music himself. But without him, there wouldn't be any music.

wtf?

You mean the soloist?

Glen Sheppard yes

So you are lucky

His father used to be the trumpet professor at Vanderbilt. My current trumpet professor was taught by him in his undergraduate years. Pretty cool to have all those years of great trumpet technique (as demonstrated excellently by his son in this video) passed onto me.

BMAD Hahaha Tru

BMAD this wasn't an orchestra xD

its not an orchestra without strings. this was a wind ensemble.

Spartacus Legends There is one double bass back there lol

Daniel Johnson ya but that diesnt make it a philharmonic ochestra

that last variation is far and away the hardest part of this solo, after several years of practice i never even came close to how well he just played that and how easy he made it seem. incredible

He was also able to play the backup quietly while accenting the melody which made it sound like two trumpets were playing

@@tristansetterdahl7979 I find the 3rd variation harder but it's probably cause i'm weird

@@tristansetterdahl7979 If you had simplified the last variation immensely like he did, playing the low part one octave higher than the original, it would have been easier for you too.

listen to lynn nicholson - then you will know for sure! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJpinZqp3LXFeas.html

Listen to Allen Vizzutti. He does it upside down as fast as he does upright.

My high school played this and that’s exactly how I felt as a freshman 2 years ago as I watched the first chair trumpet player go onto the 1 finger part

💀💀

Just an excuse to not play the melody down the octave

anyone know why he switches to one finger?

Toby Morgan to show off lol, or to make it more simple

+Toby Morgan probably so that he can time his fingering with his tounging-at that speed you have to be really precise and it might be easier for him to lift one finger and put it on a different valve than to coordinate all the fingerings

Jayden Xia it's double-layered and very quick

@Eric -> he is not playing 2 notes at the same time...@Luke is right -> he is using just the index finger to be showy. It is not necessary to just use the index finger, he could have just used the normal way to press the valves but this is just a fancy thing to do.

You should see Wynton Marsalis's performance of this.

+Kuiper TM annoyingly you can't actually see wynton playing on any videos which is why I like this

True

Jan Carleer search for Ruben simeo

This dude killed this. It's as every bit as good as wyntons performance, and this dude nailed it in one take.

Me too, book of ARBAN was duty for every trumpet player. (and showed you your own technical possibilities 😂) But, better pieces you can play, clear and correct.

There was no audience. It was a closed set, recording session.

These things are recorded without an audience

Search up Maurice andre

@@dinkelicious_ Look at allen vizzutis, LOL.

@@anyone6691 lol yes!

Or Sergei Nakariakov... There are many better versions, not to say this one isn't good or unique though,

@@alexd.5514 Sergei is phenomenal.

One of the best renditions ever. Amazing especially considering being a member of a navy band to express his versatility.

@@petertait2897 In contrast, actually, the United States Navy and Marine bands are among the most competitive programs in the entire US, only accepting the best. So it checks out.

Very musical, that's right. I heard Marsalis and he is all prowess but not musical . And this peace is difficult in that sense that the trumpetist may want to show prowess rather than musicality and ends up too mechanical. This guy I think is very amazing at the fast notes but also very soft and musical..

Ian Mizon *one finger but besides that I agree 100%

Thanks Aaron, I stand corrected.

I'm a marine and I still stand by your comment

I don't think there was an audience present, it was just the orchestra and technicians applauding

Please refer to similar comment at the top and they will sort you out

I know, right? Like 4 people clapped.

It was a recording I think

delicious?

Delicious.

Delixinhaaa! Malakoi

That's what she said.

Delicious?

John guenther it's a trumpet

It's too long for a cornet but after watching it again it's too short to be a trumpet . So I don't really know what it is . Not a cornet for definite.

Hannah Birse It's a Bach Stradivarius Cornet.

Hannah Birse dude, its a strad cornet. Its either a trumpet or a cornet. In this case, its a cornet. But theres no in between

Hannah Birse read the description smartass. It’s a cornet

You got it!

The carnival of Venice is a standard for trumpet players, like a rite of passage. You should be able to find way more versions of this piece. Good luck with your solo!

You can do it. For sure. No doubt. Practice 8 hours a day.

I’m currently playing it for solo and ensemble too but I’m a junior and I have 2 band classes so I’ve practiced it a lot. I’m pretty confident solo and ensemble is over for you so if you have an tips for it I’d love to know

@disden7366 Start off painfully slow and use a metronome. Also don't practice too much, I did that and busted my lip so it was hard to practice. There's a video on KZfaq that's just the bari and piano, listen to it on your spare time and play the fingerings along with it. If you're doing it for solo Ensemble you should just be doing Var 1 Var 3 and coda with a part of the beginning, focus on one part and get it down before moving to the next part. Also don't be afraid to slow down the whole thing when you get to solo Ensemble. They don't mark you if you're going a little slower, they just want the rhythm to be precise. Always, and I mean always when you get a part down ask your band director to listen to you. They'll pick out the tiny things that will make your performance better and correct any rhythms you may have wrong. They also may have tips on better finger movements. Play in front of others a week before the performance. It's a tradition for my band director to make people performing for Solo to play in front of the band to get their jitters out it was a lifesaver.

It was a closed set/empty hall and the applause was from his peers; anything more than tapping a heel or a music stand is equivalent to a standing ovation.

Well everyone has heard Wynton play it. This guy is excellent but he's no Wynton.

They've probably heard him play this tons of times now or they've probably been playing this for a while now.

Will Moffett he's better

I don't think so , I'm sure they would never be in full dress uniform .

I agree.

The fingering of the instrument for some musical figurations is simplified, as the 3rd valve is equivalent to 1 & 2 combined.

it's easier to play with one finger

@@tnert115 No it is not easier. However, it is supposed to be played an octave down which he is skipping with the show off fingering. All trumpet players are show off's. WE love ourselves. Damn Im good looking.

Rhonda Hasell any sheet music online?

You'll get there, it takes alot of practice

I don't play trumpet, but this inspired me.

Most of them are virtuosos also. And they've heard him before. I'm sure this wasn't a sight read.

Virtuosi.

as a band kid, we don't do that here

@@jaylambeth6 No, it was a sight read for sure.

Jaylen Ramos ik right all I can do it double and triple

same bro I feel u

i've been playing for 3 and a half years and i'm yet to get double tonging down good

They didn’t waste time in yt comments complaining how they couldn’t 😉 just practice

Jacks Place that’s an oboe...

Lol

roy childs or no pressure on the mouthpiece at all.

This is actually a great song to learn not to use pressure on, it doesnt have any high range parts, I dont think it even gets above a G, but pulling the mouthpiece off just a bit lets you be a bit clearer with the tonguing.

@@danielbaldree4571 Maurice Andre, Winton Marsalis, and others ad libbed the ending to an F above high C.

I wonder if too many musicians get accused of not playing with enough emotion if they don't sway and make facial expressions while playing. I just watched a jazz quartet by the Philadelphia Orchestra where the french horn player was swaying his instrument so much that his right hand ,inside the bell, lifted to shoulder level. I know it's jazz but, come on!

@@gammondog In my opinion so long as your movements don't hinder your sound I don't see the problem with them. Who wants to watch a jazz performer stand perfectly still like he's in marching band and just playing like he's a statue?

Cesar Gomez done just as Well on trombone

That’s a c trumpet

@@butterhead8264 no

@@butterhead8264 lol wut? That's a Bb cornet lmao.
