bach air and bourree

[mooseandbear2425]

work on your articulation and breath timing, other wise sounded pretty good

[TxElite87]

I played this one my junior year at state solo and ensemble competition

[drumcrazy15]

@TxElite87 lmao same here

[NonFurryable]

I hate solos. I'm playing this one for our studio recital next week and I'm frickin' terrified.

There is a reason I play tuba and not trumpet...

:P

[sk8dood98]

@NonFurryable i love solos!

[MrGhudon]

you really fill the horn. great job. the tempo was impressive.

[Bassetenator]

I played this for solo ensemble and i was so nervous my mouth was like the Sahara... i took the last note on the first movement up an octave...... but then some water rejuvinated the desert to which i destroyed the second movement and it was magical

[nesboy31]

not bad.

[jewboy11505]

shit, my jury is tomorrow and i need to play this :/

[mikemarqueziv]

I'm a freshmen and I played this for solo and ensemble. Great job!

[scottjop656]

btw you are doing the sticatto perfectly, but the quarter notes in the bourree part are supposed to be connected more. however at this speed i think i like it mostly stoccato anyways:)

[gigitys123]

Good job, im going to state with this solo and wanted to hear a good example of this solo.

[scottjop656]

@gigitys123 hey same here!

[gigitys123]

@scottjop656 texas by any chance? if so ill see you their

[steamboat75043]

Good job, I performed this same thing 30 years ago and of all the you tube performances, this is about the best I have found. My tempos were about the same as yours. if you go faster in the bouree then the low notes are hard to get out with good definition.

[vengfulhangovr]

good overall... notes below the staff & Bb need more work...

[kevinfrank15]

I am doing this piece for my college audition, and I am very impressed by your phrasing and ability to hit the high notes in Bouree with a dark full and forte sound.

[tigerreydelaselva]

It seems to be a Rudolf Meinl 5/4 BBb

[Anna123Bond4]

this is great. I'm doing this as well right now in university, and it's a great piece. I take the Bourree faster, to make a bigger contrast between the 2 movements. but I like your tempo as well.

[kaseycrash]

have more contrast between your forte and piano. I didn't hear any. Otherwise nice job technically

[johnny1896boi]

nice work

[Tacokatt]

Wonderful, I played this solo as well, and I am especially impressed with your higher notes. Be careful going from high notes to low notes, the transition wasn't the greatest, but it was very good. Just a little polishing needed there. Great job, and keep on playing amazing tuba!

[Tacokatt]

I am slightly envious of your exceptional high range, by the way.

[Davidt33]

Bravo. I love it.

[Davidt33]

I like the sound of your tuba.

[sugbearsam]

It's "trevany" tuba correct?

[mpmcd81]

really nice work!

That is a huge BBb tuba- is it the MW Fafner? Good job filling it up!

Only advice I would have on the performance is to sit down with a tuber, figure out where the notes resonate best, and try to place your slides as close to equal temperament as is possible. Tubas follow harmonics, not ET, bit you have to try to match ET to play well with the piano. The piano's tuning was not good, so that obviously doesn't help you play well in tune with it.

Overall, very nice job.

[vaderdude727]

really good job! my one piece of advice would be to hold the high notes a bit longer than the low ones- they tend to echo around less.

[jdrzewicki9]

Brilliant! WAY better than I played it!

[tubajunkie07]

very nice indeed, any tips for performance? I have to play this in a week or two

[NailSuture]

very nice!!!!!!

[karloinailoveu]

Super! Super!! Super!!!!
