Goedicke Concert Etude for Trumpet and Piano

[Tarpontrumpet]

This is superior. lol

[Tehcritique]

@zachanator55599 your a liar. Thats just not possible. make your lies more believable in future. unless you have played a similar brass instrument for a long time. otherwise you are a liar.

[1020magnum]

I'm playing this at solo and ensemble tomorrow(I'm a high school junior. not some poser of a middle schooler) Hopefully I can get a superior on this. That will make my year.

[greendude1219]

I love how all these middle schoolers brag about playing this piece. Nobody cares.. Really

[SuperLemonPanda]

@greendude1219 ikr, just because they can play it doesn't mean that their tone is good and tonguing is correct.

[XxXminecraphtXxX]

@mrsanguinerose i played vizzutis funk at 3/4 speed for grade 7 and got 21 out of 22. you should be fine :)

[MrSanguinerose]

i'm playing this for my grade 8 in march but haven't got it quite this fast yet, does anybody know if i'll get marked down if i play it slightly slower?

[darknumber000]

@MrSanguinerose You will only get SLIGHTLY marked down. You may hear this a billion times, but it's better to play it however fast your comfortable with and play well, than to play at the written tempo very bad. :) Good luck

[TheSPAWN102]

I can never fully get the "ka" or "ga" in ti-ka or di-ga. its there but never clear. Any tips?

[JacobR343]

@TheSPAWN102 when you say "ka" or "ga" you will notice that your tongue articulates from the back of throat... what I did was slowly start tonguing with out the horn ti, ka, ti, ka...remember start out slow until you can articulate that ti and ka very clearly then start speeding up. Once you feel comfortable start practicing the Arbans double tonguing technigues slowly than gradually go faster. Keep practicing and soon enough you will be double tonguing in no time

Hope that helps

[DivineLegacys]

I'm in 2nd grade, and i can play this with only 1 finger on the valves. I also have been playing trumpet since i was conceived. Yeah, I'm pro.

[idfask]

@DivineLegacys hmmmmmmm sounds believable to me :)

gives a new meaning to born with a silver spoon in your mouth

[radudeATL]

@DivineLegacys That's some funny [stuff] right there!

[zachanator55599]

I'm 12 in 7th grade (no joke) and I started trumpet in 6th grade. So I've only played for one year, and now I have to learn this peace. I also made region and district. I also skipped 7th grade band and I'm first chair in 8th grade band. (pretty good right)

[krnSchool]

@zachanator55599 it depends on what school you go to.

[generalRABBIT28]

@zachanator55599 Fuck you little cracka ass motha fucka

[TheMoochmasta]

@zachanator55599 Dude, I am sorry to tell you this, but there are a lot of people that are like that. I played this piece that early. Keep on practicing for 20 years, and I will be impressed.

P.S. Learn how to spell, it is "Piece", not peace.

[dandotreillydot42058]

Not even close to phil

[217DAnDONEGAN]

Ahhh

[superduperman3256]

i just started working on this 2 weeks ago and i cant even get the slower part that fast i have to learn it by February any tips please!!!! i don't want to mess up at the contests and i cant even double tongue yet

[DrPie0licious]

@superduperman3256 Think of the syllable "coo" and hit the roof of your mouth with the body of your tongue. Ask for help from an actual instructor/teacher for more help, but this is what my Private lessons teacher is telling me to do and I'm in the same situation :/

[xgt1234]

@superduperman3256

I also played this (twice actually, when I was 14 and 18). This peace is not something you can learn in 2 weeks so don't panic yet. Double-tounge is a key here, try learning that slowly, will be essential. The contest is very close in time to "master" this song though, so be smart deciding whether this is worth the risk or not.

[gregeide23]

To all of you who are talking about how old you were when you played this piece, I guarantee he played it better than anyone in this comment section. Doesn't matter what age you "master" a piece. I "mastered" (played decent enough) Herbert Clarke's 'Bride of the Waves' in high school, and then played it again on my final recital as a senior in college, which performance do you think was better? Boss performance Nate Mayfield.

[2codmod]

@gregeide23 cool story bro

[trumpetmastr23]

@Sfrey000 it's human nature, in most cases, to try to sell yourself as best as you can in order for people to think better of you. So yes it may be to try to impress, but you don't have to diss the people who just want to be as good as possible

[trumpetmastr23]

@Sfrey000 you commented to the wrong person. Just sayin.

[trumpetmastr23]

I played this and got all superior marks in 8th grade. wasnt quite as fast as that though.

[MsKitkat422]

I absolutely love this piece for my solo/ensemble competition! I'm glad that I found a good recording of it for once. :)

[Sfrey000]

@MsKitkat422 Those conclusions aren't the only possible ones pertaining to the subject. I could also just be someone who is tired of people thinking that they must mention they're age to impress others. Really? Concerning relevance, how relevant is it to mention the age you were when you mastered a certain piece unless all you are trying to do is impress. My thought to you if you were just trolling me, FUCK YOU.

[tofu1962]

@Sfrey000 Can't we have adult discussions without getting ugly. Let's act like musicians concerned with making music the best we can without being neanderthals. Please?!

[mcremeans14]

Nice.

[Sfrey000]

I'm 6 (not really) and I am playing this for a recital. No one cares how old you are when you start playing this or any other piece.

[trumpetmastr23]

@Sfrey000 either you are really jealous of the people or your a real skeptic

[djdman111]

i used this as an audition piece at 13. In one audition the guy let me play the whole thing. It was so fun :D its still like my favorite piece to play:) especially really really fast

[vikosaa]

Aguess i'm gonna play this too. I'm 14, i hope i get it fast :).

[trumpet44girl]

I may be playing this piece for solo and ensemble next school year. I'm 14, and will be 15 when playing for solo and ensemble. Shall be fun!

[lascabras69]

@trumpet44girl me too xD

[trumpet44girl]

@lascabras69 Awesome!



[RadioDJBorton]

Playin' this for Solo/Ensemble. Love it.

[DarthShinobi07]

Oh man, I wouldn't be able to play this at this tempo. I've got to play this at 160 to get into my happy place. =)

[BatheInMoonLight]

That was wonderful!

Im playing the first 20 measures for a band audition.Kinda hard.

[batakasbatucada]

[FearTheTrumpets]

im learning this...its a trip

[tuckertrumpet]

@TheMoochmasta

Could u post a vid. Im interested in hearing this. Sounds like u got some skill.

[tuckertrumpet]

@SuperAsianSpice

Sorry dude but double tounging isn't one of the things u can learn over night. It takes time and effort, especially if its gonna sound clean. I am impressed ur taking this on as a freshman though. Its probably not gonna sound to great at contest at 120 with slow double-tounging so id recommend taking the tempo down bout 10-20 beats. Hope this helps some. Good luck.

[TheMoochmasta]

@tuckertrumpet Actually I learned how to double tongue in one hour. By myself. Not to be annoying or anything, I just wanted to make sure that you know there are exceptions. I'm playing this song and I'm not a freshman yet

[SuperAsianSpice]

im quiting this solo, i can't eat, think, sleep, and play because im stressing out from all this pressure that im playing this saturday.. D: (freshman here) double tonuiging is my major issue, TA-ka doesn't work.. either im not doing it right or something.. i mean i can do it but i can't do it at 120.. D: even when i practice for 6 hours straight. .help?

[trumpetgod3015]

@SuperAsianSpice One thing I have found easier is to use the DU-ka sound or a slight variation like Doo-ku, i could never get it right with the "t" sound.

[iheartrumpet]

@SuperAsianSpice I'm sorry this is a month late, and it's obviously past your performance, but I had trouble with double tonguing to begin with also. I had to think of it as Te-Ke. It's a small change, but it made all the difference in the world for me. Hope it helps!

[forscyvus]

"Goedicke Concert Etude for Trumpet and Piano performed live at Interlochen Arts Academy in 1994 by Nathaniel Mayfield (age 18)"

OH WOW TWO INTRUMENTS AT ONCE :O

[tuckertrumpet]

@GCBeep

I know what u mean. Take it measure by measure till u get each 1 right, then fit them together. That worked pretty well for me.

[tuckertrumpet]

@GCBeep

I really lucked out. Due to the snow storms our competition has been rescheduled to the 26th of this month. Win!

[GCBeep]

@tuckertrumpet

I can only hope the same for myself haha, while I've improved, and I can play basically the whole song without trouble, 2:05 to 2:21 give me a ton of trouble. ...I rarely even get half way through it notewise, otherwise I'm fine.

[tuckertrumpet]

I play this on Saturday memorized.... I have a page left that's really iffy. I'm totally screwed.

[GCBeep]

@tuckertrumpet

Don't worry, someone out there is in the same boat. Do your best anyway. ;) ...I'm playing this on Saturday as well, and I'm honestly expecting some (absolutely horrible) comments...at least I tried.

[tibortrombitas]

Bravo!

[trumpetgod3015]

Great job, I'm playing this for my All-State Audition, and I need to slow it down a bit. I'm playing it waaaaay too fast

[qpow225]

@trumpetgod3015 im playing it for solo and ensomble next year

[trumpetgod3015]

@qpow225 It's a great one, I'll tell you that :)

[boyzconfuseme2011]

You have a beautiful tone. This recording kind of made me fall in love with the piece, and I'm attempting to do it for solo and ensemble this year. If I can get it up to par of course (:

[malboro1979]

Well done friend...I actually have to perform this piece for a jury recital at my university in a month, so this was really good to hear for helping me with the style...

[TDawggz007]

I'm doing this solo for Solo Ensamble!!!!!

[aviona123]

awesome :D

[fieldro14]

Really well done.

[rocknut8]

Sounded great then. And you sound great now. I was checking out some of your baroque stuff of your website. I'm excited to look up some videos of the NEXT Ensemble on here.

[Prrytrmpt]

Sounded great technically for the most part. Musicality wise, you could use some work on perhaps bringing out the crescendos and decrescendos and also a little more fluency on the double-tonguing but all-in-all, it was a nice performance. Just not great.

[alawrence99]

@Prrytrmpt Whatta you mean he didn't sound great. He sounded excellent

[KillerTpt]

@Prrytrmpt who the hell are you to criticize him the way you did.....

how long have you played trumpet?

[malboro1979]

@KillerTpt

Why do you need to know that? I don't know the guy, but prrytrmpt wasn't bashing the guy, he was just giving an honest, and accurate critique of the performance. If it's possible for your pee brain to analyze the comment, then you'd know that everything he said was dead on. I even think that if the performer was to read prrytrmpts comments that he would agree 100%...Question? how long have you played the trumpet? yeah....thought so...Me...20 years, so i know what im saying.

[KillerTpt]

@malboro1979 you are one Dumb-Shit......."I've played for 20 yrs"....Dumbass

you probably still suck.

[Preppym]

Oh, hot damn! Terrific playing. Congrats!

[gitanita24]

yo toko mucho mejor juazz

[gitanita24]

jaja k bobada yo toko mejor

[Willdavalveartist]

anyone got a recording of this song done on trombone?? i'm doing it currently and am just interested to know what it can sound like

[iknewthtduhh45]

my boyfriend had to play this as his audition for college. he got in :) this is a great song

[Creator798]

i can double tongue this but it sounds like crap right now... tips? i can play everything else good. of course i have a little less than a year to get this down :P

[clinkmeyer2011]

@Creator798 lots of air. blow through the weak syllable. happy playing.

[who8mahbacon]

@Creator798 more air on the second accent always helps

[Jonlovescake]

@Creator798

Not much other than practise, start slow, double tongue some scales etc. Try and use them in your warm up every day and it'll feel more natural eventually. :)

[alecplus]

im working on this right now and its sounding pretty good so far

[TheGRiiNDcore]

played to slow... but still great job.

[disgruntleddoorman]

I'm performing this for juries at university in an hour.

[Guiness5000]

I have to play this for solo/ensemble tomorrow... =/

wish me luck! =]

[ssbmfan4]

How did it go? I gotta do it in 3 days :D

[Guiness5000]

You win some, you lose some. Unfortunately I lost this one...

[bjazzer795]

nice playin.

[OKieMusician]

Good job man! I'm playing this for Solo and Ensemble this year and for my college audition to Oklahoma State :D This video made for a great standard to listen to and base interpretations from, thanks!

rasenganzanpakuto I'd agree, I think the piano player has a more challenging task of playing it on this song than trumpet lol

[ikespay]

I found this piece, because one of my friends is trying to learn it. So I decided to borrow his copy, and transpose it into bass clef, so that I could learn it on the String bass. Let me tell you, it is very difficult getting those sixteenth notes. I think this is supposed to be played at quarter note equals 152 or so. Well I'm working hard at 108. I hope to get it up to 152 someday.

[OKieMusician]

On smart music it sets the bar at 138 which is probably the standard and what you want it to be, but it's much more fun playing a tad faster than that. This song has a way of getting stuck in your head for a very long time lol

[natemayfield]

I went to Interlochen Arts Academy for 4 years, from 1990-94

[malboro1979]

@natemayfield

Is this for c trumpet of b flat? 

[qpow225]

@malboro1979 the one that i have is for b flat i have only been plaing trumpet for a year and a half and i know how to play this

[TelleoStar]

@qpow225 Yeah, that's a lie. There's no way you could possibly have developed your technique well enough to play that in only a year and a half. That's beyond being a prodigy, that's just literally impossible to do. The amount of time it takes to get your double tonguing that precise alone would take up most of that year and a half, let alone working on the range and tone.

[qpow225]

@TelleoStar i said that i have been playing trumpet for a year and a half

i have only been playing this song for a month and a half full detail and this speed if not faster was grade are you in anyway

[TelleoStar]

@qpow225 I know that you said you've been playing for a year and a half. That's why I said you were lying. Especially since your "what grade are you in" question reveals that you are still in grade school, and no conductor at that level would give a kid who's been playing only a year and a half this music. By the way, I'm a freshman in college. I've been playing for eleven years. We played this last fall as a brass ensemble.

[lulzIridetheshortbus]

@TelleoStar

I agree with you. However, qpow is a middle schooler who just discovered that he can say whatever he wants over the internet, but doesn't have to prove that he can. This is normal for his age group, to try to be better then everyone else in a sort of "mine is bigger than yours" scenario. Just let it go. I, however, am a sophomore in high school and will say that this is a pretty tough piece, not because of the double tonguing, but because of the fingerings. Nailing them is tricky!

[qpow225]

@lulzIridetheshortbus i thought you said you were in college

[rabbidskaters]

@TelleoStar i've been playing for 1.5 years and i can play the first part of it. i can play from :00 to :22 . i can go relativly fast but i can barely double toungue. not to sound cocky but its not THAT hard if you go slow

[TelleoStar]

@rabbidskaters The key parts of that comment were 1) You can't play all of it, 2) You can't take it up to speed, and 3) You can't double tongue. Of course it's easy if you go slow. That doesn't make it easy at speed.

[hunt3r0wnzU]

im in the 9th grad and i played for a solo. and i gotz a onez on it!!! and i rarely ever practiced it

[rasenganzanpakuto]

The piano accompaniment is not easy either -.-

[bradcofo]

id like to hear him play it faster

[buddycathedral]

@bradcofo this is plenty fast. its music not a race

[cakeandbluejello]

@buddycathedral i totally agree, if you play it too fast it loses its integrity in the d.tounging passages

[Honor1123678]

I loved that solo I played it in 10th grade and I was super hard!

He makes it sounds reallllly easy to play! 5 stars for him!

[trumpetdude94]

Why is this 4.5/5 stars????? its flawless!!!

[CarbonX94]

i made region 2  nj as a 9th grader this year.

[perrycox29]

This is nj region 1 hs audition piece. Difficult to play as a ninth grader who's still learning double tonguing

[ogauge47]

when i play this i always start slow, and gradually start practicing it faster, as said earlier, work on the double tonging last, get the tone and high register notes perfect first. i have noticed that the 2+3 fingering sounds more in tune than 2nd valve on Eb

[danedaworld]

btw those of you who want it, you can google it and there is a free sheet music for it

[trumpetdude94]

what grade is this song?

[TheDandyAndy1]

grade 8 by the Royal conservatory of Music

[trumpetdude94]

grade 8? I thought it only went up to 7? lol anyways my teacher told me it was a grade 5....but I live in Florida so idk if the grading is different here....lol

[trumpetdude94]

HOLY CRAP!! I didnt realize how hard this really was until I heard this recording!....I'm screwerd for solo and ensemble cuz I have to do this as a solo...

[NATALiEandALAiNA]

maybe you just suck because its really easy bro all it is is double tounging

[Sternman318]

Well I would hardly say easy, but i see your point. IF your proficient at double tonguing, this piece isnt terrible difficult. Range isnt bad, and you just need fast fingers.

[CandyAndStuff]

this song was used as the cbda all-state piece a few years ago

[OniMurasame]

I'm playing this as my grade exam. What you need to do is play it VEEEERY SLOOOOOOOWLY. That way first get the notes right (sound-wise). Don't use auxiliary positions and be sure to breathe well.

First don't try to do double tonging, that's the last thing you want to practice. Because you have to master breathing first because it is more easy to enter the double staccato parts with a lot of air.

When you have all that covered... Double Staccato practice.... practice practice practice!!

[trumpetdude94]

Crap! I was gonna reply to u in my inbox but I accidentally deleted it lol. Anyways thank you very much for the tips =)

[trumpetfreak5]

im playing this for my jury piece

[doug12321]

im playing this for my solo ensemble competition, im a freshman in highschool

[katieisoffthechain]

University of Delaware, PSU, TCNJ, William Paterson, West Chester... a hell of a lot.

[xxsharks4lifexx]

hey i'm doing it for my college auditions as well! i just bought it. holy crap, it's awesome.

[MarkPyroX]

does anyone know how to be able to tongue this fast(or almost as fast) by 3 weeks? I really need to learn. If someone knows, can they send me a message?

[doug12321]

say du gu du gu repeatedly with really freakin fast air and u should be able to get better quicker

[sscottrell]

yeah i have to learn too. it seems impossible.

[katieisoffthechain]

Definitely not too easy... I would play it if I were you. That's what I'm doing for my auditions.

[Particleking]

Dude, this is awsome. I really needed something to practice with for touch-ups, Plus, the little modification you made to the end was classic. Totaly freakin' awsome. 6/5 120% epicness

[ETtrumpetman]

I played this piece for my college audition and got in. If played well its a great piece for an audition.

[CDxIdioticApollo]

I think it might be alright to play. I played the Haydn Concerto for my audition to Crane...

[JohnSk8PlayLive]

You are gooooood, my friend.

[samanthag153]

I'm learning this piece right now, and I would have to say this is the piece that made me have passion for my instrument again! i love love love it!!!

[ChristieJCJ]

Oh man I'm a failure compared to this. Well my district performance was much better than my state performance. Yea. Fail.

This was simply amazing. I wish I could go to Interlochen.

[westerntrumpet]

Refreshing to hear someone that doesn't try to play through the piece as if they had to get it done in a minute. Nice job!

[tpmptplayer777]

awesome where can i find music

[istvanbalint]

very niceee:):):)

great job!
