[bigdozza]

we're playing the whole symphony with my youth orchestra. love the cello part :)

[HaleQuin]

I played the horn part last year at a huge concert. I tell you , nothing more powerful than that feeling

[jointhesquash]

i have only read thru this piece once, but i am addicted now. especially to this movement...so much passion and emotion...i love it!

[NightRaven511]

we're playing it this year...i'm playing the oboe solo part :)

[ltmikepowell]

Calm, serenade and blissful. This second movement never stop entertain and unwind me from the sadness and anger that I faced throughout the day.

[Karenna77]

yay! im gonna play the cello part soon, so cool

[ewall9290]

good luck with the solo, we have to play the start of it up the D string. The start is very fun though, increadably eary.

[galaxyrainguy]

wONDERFUL! interpretation is excellent, dramatic gentleness and feeling without being overly personal(or under-personal), goes into the ear and onto the soul and heart.

[NailI3unny]

I absolutely love this piece

I got to play it my first year in the junior symphony I'm a member of

(clarinet)

what is the recording date?

[hinata1566]

what is the instument that does the duet with the French Horn soloist?

[Besitzen]

'Tis a clarinet.

[NailI3unny]

it's clarinet in A so it's timbre is a little different from the Bb clarinet you're used to hearing

[hinata1566]

Okay thanks. At my school the marching band used a Euphonium instead of a French Horn and a Bb Clarinet.....I think they have videos of it on this site I'm not sure though.

[NightRaven511]

I think it's an oboe...at least our piece this year is me playing the oboe part with the French Horn

[hinata1566]

earlier in the comments someone told me that it was an E-flat clarinet and it most likely was because my freshmen year we played this as our ballad for marching band(we cut it) and we used a B-flat clarinet and a uphonium soloist for the parts and then we were told at the end of the season that it was origanally a french horn soloist and an E-flat clarinet that came in for the duet part

[Aubstopper]

It's just a regular clarinet (in A, guys) with a French horn....then later an oboe w/the french horn

[gummiandr]

@hinata1566 You cut it? You used a uphonium? Why???

I'm a french horn player and am quite insulted... :/

[starwarsjunkie7777]

@gummiandr I fully agree. There are too many horn players that would want to play it. I wonder what the other horn players thought about that...

Yes, this is a true and beautiful offering of an orchestra's interpretration of one of Tchaikovsky's best works.. Thank you for posting.
