who wrote this? i couldnt understand exactly who he said....and i cant find this piece anywhere else when i search for concerto for trombone, its all different ones
This is a Conn 8H and I can assure you this man does not have a weak sound. Any apparent weakness would be a combination of the acoustic and the recording technician's method. Some of the notes seem a touch fuzzy but again, that effect can easily be brought about by second-rate recording practices. It sounds to me like this has been recorded on a video mic rather than a top quality condenser. Remember also that typical PC speakers are poor.
I'm underwhelmed. I thought this was one of the worlds top orchestras, yet he has this week sound, bad intonation and he's fracking notes? Sure, maybe the room gives a bad sound, but that doesn't excuse the cracked notes. I'm confused. Why is he having problems with this solo?!
@TheUndacovabrotha wow you were right. I love Mahler's symphonies. I'm not sure what was going on in this video, he's clearly a master player. maybe an off day? Shot lips? There were a few sour notes... Still an incredible symphonic player. I'll take his place one day. haha
@nickmusiclover yep EVERYONE has off days. and yes Mahler is awesome. every day i practice my trombone and when im done i play a little bit of Mahler for the hell of it.
this guy is awesome he shows that you dont need an f attachment to be a good trombone player. i think f attachments are for lazy people who dont feel like going down to 6th position. but i admit in some cases one is necessary.
He managed to butcher the first entrance....a 16th followed by a triplet. Sorry man, someone in a reputable orchestra should at least get that much right.
@XxTTechxX there are different editions of this piece with the rhythm written different in the opening. I think it has been changed to a 16th note in some editions to take the trends of performance practise in to consideration when the piece was actually written. I agree though, I prefer it being played as a 16th note.
The usage of triggers or not is all preferential, if you use the F, then yes some runs can be made so much easier, and i,when i play first (not so much anymore!) i have used Both, i did prefer with out, but thats me, though i play Bass trombone more now, and i have played in first chair once with it, (it was hard, and it was a pretty easy piece! That was with a concert band) Though if you have multiple horns etc do what ever you like! I know someone with 5, but always uses his Conn 88H
that is when he plays first chair in an orchestra, maybe its because its his favourite? Or it makes runs easier? I'm not sure, it could be to do with blowing resistance, but then again thayer valves and such make that a smaller factor
I wouldn't say that "most first trombonists don't use a trigger". It's not uncommon to see a principal player with out one but I'd say 4 out of 5 times they will...well in America anyways.
personally I think that American trombone players have a more bold sound and full sound. Eropeans have a littler clearer sound and much lighter. Ex. Alessi vs Lindberg two huge different sounds.
In what way, might I ask, is Christian Lindberg's playing NOT bold? In fact, I'd raise you to beautifully ferocious, haha! And that vibrato MUST be bold! ;-) Got to love it...
That said, you are generally on to something. For example, Carl Lenthe said in a masterclass I attended to be careful not to become 'harsh.' He promoted a lighter style and warmer sound.
As for es942's concerto, my search found no recording... interesting...

4. He uses no vibrato. This stylistic choice conflicts with the character if the piece: Containing a recitative and very frequent lyrical sections--including the entire second movement--the piece's vocal conception requires more expression. It must be sung, and he simply plays the notes. The nearly complete absence of vibrato in British players is startling, and requires other means of expression--yet Mr. Bright plays these phrases very plainly. In my opinion, this is not art; this is not music.
1. The opening rhythm, which he says must be played with precision, is actually a doted eighth-sixteenth followed by a triplet, yet Mr. Bright plays the entire phrase with triplet subdivisions. This is simply incorrect.
2. The turn in the lyrical section of the first movement is incorrectly played. It should go do, re-do-si-do-sol.
uh, its good, but for him he better would have done some more takes to get it better. it even starts with little rhythmic corrections, that have to be done. he tells, not to focus too much the small notes. thats right. BUT: its a 16th note. why he plays it like a part of a triplet. for me, that is dumb! and too many students will do that like he does. without thinking about it. but the most things he is saying are very good, i think... however, always be questioning... especially in art things.
They arn't used that often in some cases, and it's not uncommon for a player to have more than one instrument just for one having a convinience over the other. A large bore straight Temor could replace a regular Symphinic Tenor.
thats true in some cases. but from what ive seen, many principal players use both a horn with a trigger and a horn without a trigger depending on the range of the piece they're playing.
@superunderline it's nice when ur playing 1st trombone to hav the F trigger sometimes tho. so you can play the higher B flat scale without having to move your position more than once.
@superunderline Do you play first trombone, or know anything of which you're talking about...? It's not as common, but without a doubt, in some songs, I use the trigger.
@LordoftheHobbits but when you get to a high standard of professionalism, if you don't need the trigger you're unlikely to use a trombone with one, as you'll own more than two. and you're talking about songs, i'm talking about classical works in symphony orchestras. you can do whatever you please. although i hope you're not talking about a jazz band.
@superunderline I play first trombone in a concert band, symphonic band, jazz band, pep band, and an orchestra, and I can safely say that the trigger is used in every one.
@superunderline I play bass-trombone and I only use one, but it's because the second one is just for some extreme stuff, which I don't get to play to often... :/
Simply put , play in quarter, sixteenth, sixteenth, sixteenth, sixteenth note rythm: C, D, C, B, C. All naurals. Just so you know, he played the turn wrong. Also, you could look it up in Rubank Advanced, Vol. 1.
Why is he talking about this when it isn't on the suggested list? My understanding was that you were required to pick one or two excerpts from the 'suggested list'.
As much as you would like to play with it, valve trombone is NOT a member of the symphony orchestra unless called for.
The unique tone of the trombone is caused in part by the unimpeded flow of air through the instrument. Composers recognize this tone quality as that of an orchestral trombone (straight or tenor/bass).
The valves and the tubing leading to them or bypassing them restricts the air flow and destroys the concept of a perfectly cylindrical bore. (This also goes for a Tenor/bass)
I wish he would play the dotted 8th---16th rythm correctly. Good ideas though. One has to consider when this was written and where! There was pretty much nothing else being written for solo tenor trombone during it's time. They was however, lots of writing for the horn. Doesn't it sound like a horn concerto?
Sorry to upset you. Did you really have to correct my spelling. I wasn't trying to be mean with my comments. It just sounds like the dotted rhythms are not snappy enough. Everyone has different tastes. I respect this player a ton. I have even played for him before. Sorry to upset you!!
Ooh dear, I'm sorry too. I was not upset. I know him personally and he would hate to think that he got something wrong. Considering ( i believe) He is the finest trombone player in the world.
Well, to do that you would need to post a video of you playing, or at least say WHERE you go to school, because, seeing as all schools are different, your being first could mean very little
Man...I would love to play in Carnegie Hall, but I haven't touched my trombone in well over a year, even though I was half decent back in school. Played 1st Trombone in the Jazz ensemble.
Seriously? Cmon guys, this isnt that hard. I did this in 9th grade in solo and ensemble and got a 1 "superior" on it. There are definatley harder concertos than this. Not braggin or anything, but this really is one if the easier concertos in the repotoire, especially once you starting getting in to the more modern stuff like "Deux Dances" by J.M Defay ,The Bourgeios Concerto, and other things that are more modern.
Yor right everything has its own difficulty, im just saying its not impossible for a person such as myself, a pre-college player, or a amateur player to do.
thats not what i was talking about...technically, being able to play notes, i could have played the David as an 8th grader...musically and detail probably only joe alessi could do it
I agree dumbo800. Alessi is an amazing classical solist, one of the best, however I never really overally prefered his orchestral playing in a section. It just seems loud and overpowering. I much prefer guys like Mr. Bright and Jay Friedman for orchestral playing.
The main reason they use these middle of the road, standardized pieces is so that they may often differentiate your strengths and weaknesses from others. The panel has quite a bit of experience with auditions and thus knows what to look for and what makes one player a better choice than another. Especially for a single piece like this, two great players will audition while one gets the spot. For a different song it could be different.
This is not an audition for professional players. Pros are so called because they have pro jobs already. Anyway, what's the point in not auditioning coz you think you won't get in. You definatley WON'T get in if you don't audition.
I know for a fact that even at this level, dudley doesn't feel like he's good enough. But never had I heard him say, he won't bother. He'll just practice for hours and do his best.
C'mon you lot, get your chops in shape and take a chance!!!
I'm not an expert by any means but: trilling on trombone is essentially a controlled and fast change in harmonics (ie. multiple lip slurs)Its possible in all positions, however it is much easier in the higher register (where the harmonics are closer together).
Actually it's tenor clef. And I know, the piece is ridiculous for any non-professional player. This whole thing is just a joke. There is NOBODY who is non-pro and going to get in.
I disagree; i'm still in high school and can play the whole thing at the tempo he's doing.
I do agree, however, that professional players are most likely the only ones who are going to get in. That is, of course, unless they decide to favor non-pro players and try to give them the opportunity. It seems like the promotional video was patronizing a bit, and aiming towards young amateur players. It could go either way.
That is not true. I am sure a great deal of university students will be admitted, otherwise... it would have all been a waste of time, they could have just gone symphony to symphony looking for professionals.

I May Be First Trombone At My High School And A Great Pride And Playing Ability, But I Know When I've Been Blown Out Of The Water... I Thought Trills On Trombone (Though Scarce) Were Impossible To Do Unless You Had The Attachments On The Upper Level Trombones.
We Actually Take Out Of The Arban Study Booklets For Our District Material Each Year. We Cycle Through Certain Excersizes For Each Year So We Don't Play The Same Music Every Year.
I'm a junior in high school this year, and I'm in the process of learning this piece for my solo in a few months. I hope I'll be able to play it well in time for the deadline!
He's says play lyrically the whole time but he can't even make a decent crescendo in the beggining of the song. Fyl

I find Joe Alessi to be one of the betters. Also Christhard (?) Gossling, of the Berlin Phil.

i play 1st trombone in high school. im also 1st in jazz band, and symphony orchestra. i think i could audition. i need an opinion.

Well, to do that you would need to post a video of you playing, or at least say WHERE you go to school, because, seeing as all schools are different, your being first could mean very little

Man...I would love to play in Carnegie Hall, but I haven't touched my trombone in well over a year, even though I was half decent back in school. Played 1st Trombone in the Jazz ensemble.

That aside, I dont think this was designed so that pros can steal all the jobs, I think it will be fairly evenly balanced.
macree01 3 years ago
Seriously? Cmon guys, this isnt that hard. I did this in 9th grade in solo and ensemble and got a 1 "superior" on it. There are definatley harder concertos than this. Not braggin or anything, but this really is one if the easier concertos in the repotoire, especially once you starting getting in to the more modern stuff like "Deux Dances" by J.M Defay ,The Bourgeios Concerto, and other things that are more modern.
macree01 3 years ago
its not the hardest piece ever, but if you think something is "not that hard" your wrong >_>
godoofakeman 3 years ago
Yor right everything has its own difficulty, im just saying its not impossible for a person such as myself, a pre-college player, or a amateur player to do.
macree01 3 years ago
thats not what i was talking about...technically, being able to play notes, i could have played the David as an 8th grader...musically and detail probably only joe alessi could do it
godoofakeman 3 years ago
I dont really like Joseph Alessi all that much, but I do see what your saying.
macree01 3 years ago
My professor has played with Alessi before and says he is a wonderful player, but quite frankly an asshole as a person.
dumbo800 3 years ago
I agree dumbo800. Alessi is an amazing classical solist, one of the best, however I never really overally prefered his orchestral playing in a section. It just seems loud and overpowering. I much prefer guys like Mr. Bright and Jay Friedman for orchestral playing.

well that just makes me hate him XD

The main reason they use these middle of the road, standardized pieces is so that they may often differentiate your strengths and weaknesses from others. The panel has quite a bit of experience with auditions and thus knows what to look for and what makes one player a better choice than another. Especially for a single piece like this, two great players will audition while one gets the spot. For a different song it could be different.

Amazing. Anyone know if this guy gives lessons?
staroft 3 years ago
Yes he does, try contacting the LSO or, he's a professor at the Royal Academy of Music in London, try there.

This is not an audition for professional players. Pros are so called because they have pro jobs already. Anyway, what's the point in not auditioning coz you think you won't get in. You definatley WON'T get in if you don't audition.
I know for a fact that even at this level, dudley doesn't feel like he's good enough. But never had I heard him say, he won't bother. He'll just practice for hours and do his best.
C'mon you lot, get your chops in shape and take a chance!!!

Concertino by Ferdinand David (I recently performed this in a concerto competition). I really wish that I had seen this video before the competition.
Excellent. I'm favoriting this.

Wow, I didn't know trilling was possible on a trombone! Is it only possible in certain positions? I am going to go try this now...
AprilDrumstick 3 years ago
I'm not an expert by any means but: trilling on trombone is essentially a controlled and fast change in harmonics (ie. multiple lip slurs)Its possible in all positions, however it is much easier in the higher register (where the harmonics are closer together).

Gah, none of these parts translate well to Euphonium! And look at the actual YouTube piece! Three lines in alto clef! What is that?
Concertino's great though. But I prefer Morceau Symphonique (by Guilmant, highly underrated because it's only about level III)
This guy has enough intonation skills to embarrass Jesus.
The3lse 3 years ago
Actually it's tenor clef. And I know, the piece is ridiculous for any non-professional player. This whole thing is just a joke. There is NOBODY who is non-pro and going to get in.

I can play the trumpet solo, and some of the double tonguing, but nothing sounds anywhere decent enough for what this dude wants to do.
JcWhatCounts20 3 years ago
I disagree; i'm still in high school and can play the whole thing at the tempo he's doing.
I do agree, however, that professional players are most likely the only ones who are going to get in. That is, of course, unless they decide to favor non-pro players and try to give them the opportunity. It seems like the promotional video was patronizing a bit, and aiming towards young amateur players. It could go either way.
Seibukan76 3 years ago
That is not true. I am sure a great deal of university students will be admitted, otherwise... it would have all been a waste of time, they could have just gone symphony to symphony looking for professionals.

I May Be First Trombone At My High School And A Great Pride And Playing Ability, But I Know When I've Been Blown Out Of The Water... I Thought Trills On Trombone (Though Scarce) Were Impossible To Do Unless You Had The Attachments On The Upper Level Trombones.
