And the accompanist is chopped liver. No acknowledgment from the soloist. I know that's standard operating procedure in classical music, but break the mold, people. Acknowledge your accompanist. Just do it.
Played this my senior year in high school...Was rated an Outstanding Performer at the Texas State Solo & Ensemble Contest 1999-2000...played it on the Euphonium...great piece of music that brings back memories!!
Well played. I'm personally preparing this piece for a university audition right now and this is one of the best recordings I have found on youtube. I don't know why but I can't seem to find Joseph Alessi playing this piece anywhere.
A double high c is hard if you aren't accustomed to playing in the upper range. It took me months of practice to reach it constantly. but its not easy if you havent put in the time. no ones perfect.
@CM88keys I understand that no one is perfect but I am a bass trombone player. I do lip slurs every rehearsal though as any great brass player will tell you to do. On a 2g I have range up to High G on a shilke 51 I can get the high Bb no problem.
I played this song last year. At first it was aweful, meaning all these runs and high notes. But I hekka practiced until my lips litterrally got sore; on performance day, gahh!!... I messed up the intro and the cadenza.overall, i did it but some of my fellow musicvians noticed few out-of-tuned notes.I used this as a source to help me out but I messed up thr intro, cadenza and a few out of tuners. Pretty soon i'm going to perform Ferdinand Davivd's Concertino. Hope I do well.
absolutely amazing performance! found this video and used it as my inspiration and guide so I could play that c# and perform this in a in a studio recital, you're tone is amazing! very beautiful =) very well done
Playing this for my audition at Jacksonville State University in Alabama in 2 weeks! Cant wait. I admire your technique but more so your tone. Absolutely beautiful
I'm working on this solo. I love it. It's very fun to play, and it's beautiful. I certianly cannot play at this guy's level yet, but I'm working toward that. XD
If you want to learn it by heart, just practice it more than you do, and once you masterize the song with the chart, try without the chart. You'll have some blank sometimes, but it's normal. Just get through the song regulary, and you'll know it by heart.
i could have used slightly crisper tonguing is some spots and better dynamic contrast (as i've seen said here a few times) but otherwise GREAT job :) i like the tone.
imense. i wish i sounded like him! soo good man.

He has a very nice, open tone. Professional quality. 'Specially on the lip slur at the end...fantastic

He plays the whole composition by heart?! I'm absolutely impressed...
I'm learning this "Morceau Symphonique", too, so I know how tough it is. I wonder how long he practised for this performance...
Very good quality as well!
Thanks for uploading =)
