Brahms- Mvt 1: Sonata in F Minor op. 120 no. 1 for Clarinet and Piano (1894)

[jenice4576]

is this song hard?

[TheLewan1]

the best interpretation of Brahms Sonata in F Minor op. 120 no. 1 !

[ViolaSuperMan]

Sorry, but Brahms did the right thing when he transposed this piece for viola.

[bandhotty94]

excellent! I love your sound. it is very full and beautiful. I played this for my solo this past year but had difficulty with the really fast runs and getting the pianist to be able to play on the beat...

[Ncolasg]

i love this song!

[dtdatboy]

Excellent! Great tone!

[Jennabella112]

My Band Director played us this and my entire class was wondering why he bounced around while he played, but apparently it is not just him!

[evyrlind]

@Jennabella112

Many clarinetists move around, when performing. Not sure why, but we do :P. LOL.

[MusicalHoneyBe]

@evyrlind because we move with the music and the beat. People who move around when they play have a certain connection to the music that some people will never understand or have. We rise with the louder and more exciting sections and fall for the smoother, sweeter perts. Just how it works (-:

[Beelzebob777]

Very good interpretion of it! nicely done. I usually play it a tad slower because i think it brings sertain depth to it.. been told off of that alot but its just my style :D U are very talented. How long u been playing?

[chnman1008]

At measure 17, the last eighth note, should be an A, I think what im hearing is G.

[andypanchito]

i have to play this for my solo tomorrow morning...wish me luck guys!!!

[TheBrozart]

Well done!

Check out my channel for my interpretation of this beautiful piece :)

[UchimakiX]

dang i hav to play this for solo and ensemble contest. i hav 5 months to get it down. =)

[DaJuanEvan]

too fast!

great tone!

save for r-13

[Eoin1082]

I agree but it's only a little bit...It actually starts much much too slow. Pianist was too self-effacing in that opening. i think that G flat colours the whole mvt. It did get considerably faster. Love this work though. Happy to play it with your some time ;)

[rlacjfdn]

this is really good

he changes speed through out the whole piece

should i do that? or just go with tempo for most of the piece

i don not have much rit. as he did

[Eoin1082]

It is romantic but that doesn't mean you can keep changing tempo but you must also remember in live performance unintentional things can happen.....

[herblich1]

I accidentally put 1 star, but of course I meant 5 stars! Sorry about that.

Very nice playing! (I'm currently playing this on the viola)

[Amadee10]

Awesome! Thanks, I have been debating weather to get E-11 or save a bit more for the R-13, tough choice.

[costasimpson]

Agreed!

[GinobiliRules101]

certainly save for the r13. the difference is tremendous.

[andypanchito]

trust me R-13's are great, way better choice

[24818525]

You play very expressively.....beautiful! <3

[rainbowgay21]

woww,, its simply beautiful. . .

well done, but just a piece of advice:

try not to make sudden sounds, for example the high Eb in the very beginning could have been smoother, and several other places. =)

[Sexican]

Accompanied by: Ron Jeremy?

Sweet!

[Amadee10]

What kind of clarinet are you using?

[MrTea214]

Buffet Vintage R13. Here is what they say about it:

The Vintage R13, patterned after the famous R13s of the 1950s, utilizes many elements not found on the modern R13s. There are no metal tenon rings, several tone hole placements have been adjusted to improve tuning, and the bell is 1mm longer, producing a very fluid clarion register.

[MrTea214]

His name is Josh Oxford- he's a great pianist, percussionist, and all around musician. You can search for more YouTube videos from his senior recital, etc. If you are into jazzier stuff, check out The Oxtet on MySpace music. Very groovy.

[musicmovement]

great performance!

1984?

[MrTea214]

Wow, I just noticed that (wrong date). Must have been a typo when they edited the video.

[leonas21]

where did you studied? europe?

[MrTea214]

New York- but I'm studying in London currently.

[wsk250]

Any chance for second and third movements? I like the performance quite a lot - great balance between instruments and every 'brahmsian' emotion delivered. :-)

[Tanru2000]

Yes second and third movements would be good. :)

[MrTea214]

2nd and 3rd movements are now up. Thanks for tuning in!

[MrTea214]

2nd and 3rd movements are now up. Thanks for listening!

[MariahT13]

How do you make this look so easy? I've been practicing for months on this piece and still can't quite get the hang of it! This is a very excellent performance.

[kevinb828]

The clarinetist makes it look so easy! Very good!

[stef47aries]

Missed note in the beginning?

[davitogrubba]

The piano guy is awesome!

[XStrawberrixKissuX]
