Shostakovich - Jazz Suite No. 2: III. Dance 1 - Part 3/8

[imkitsoularas]

is it really called jazz suite? it doesn't sounds like jazz,armonicly and rythm..??!?!@

[1988duncan]

do you know who is this pianist in this?

curious to know weather its him or someone else.

[JJBRMusic]

Oh my gosh!! I Played the Band arrangement at the MMEA Maine All-state festival this past may, It was amazing <3 Loveloveloved it. :)

[xXJawruWolfXx]

ahahahahaha! We played a arrangement of this at All-state just last Saturday! Ein Volkfest I believe it was. :) Shostakovich is freaking brilliant!

[theNewTomSawyer]

@dani4band08 Yes it is but damn is it fun

[xnadii91x]

this is the gadfly?

[VcUbEbEaSt648]

METALGODS1001!!!!! hahaha I LOVE the first alto part. I love it when we accelerando to a suicidal 190 and then up to 243 from there. EPIC.

[Metalgods1001]

Were playing this for our spring concert! Such a fun piece:)

[SuperMarimarimari]

I tried to play this at tempo. It was a little bad... lol

[musiclova37]

I demand to know who doesn't like this..

[WVorganstudent]

@musiclova37 I think they pushed the wrong button on accident.

[KagamineLenX3]

@WVorganstudent As common as a response that is, it's actually quite likely xD I've accidentally pressed the dislike button tons of times before, because as it's loading or something happens, right when I'm about to press the like button, the screen *conveniently* shifts and I press the wrong one...But rest assured, it wasn't me this time (I don't bother trying anymore xD).

[Snowmoe25]

Curse this high range horn part! Actually one of the more fun march-style pieces to play in band though =)

[savvyandskye]

Were playing this in band! :O

[musiclova37]

:D 2:30 to the end is just beast! I'm playing this in my high school band, and it is soooooo fun to play. The runs are pretty smooth for the fingers on the clarinet, probably cuz its all naturals. But ya, i am currently in love with this piece!!

[Edmob1]

like so many before his time and passed away to soon.

[oboe22]

i love this song!

[daviesgeek]

I prefer the orchestra version.

[AHMAHTAY]

HELLO MARCELLA AND NIKKI. JIA HUI HERE WHOO :D

[nurnikkitiara]

I LIKEEE THE SONGGG. IT'S VERY CATCHY AND COOLL BUT IT'S DAMN HARD! AHHAHAHA!

[IxAMxMARCELLA]

OMG ! THE FRENCH HORN PART IS KILLER ! if you cant reach high high A ! ! ! GOD ! I HAVE TO PLAY THIS IN BOUT 4 MONTHS ? OMGOMGOMG !!!

[nurnikkitiara]

@IxAMxMARCELLA AHAHHAHAHA MARCELLA NIKKI HERE. SAME AS FOR THE TROMBONE PART TOOO :( SIGHHH

[MagicCrazyMe]

@IxAMxMARCELLA  AHAHAHA! Go Pronto. HAHAHAHA~

[Sixmonte]

2:27 !!

[doryzsu]

wow, i played it on cello as a cello-piano piece! :D

[varniss]

Funnily enough, the clarinet solo is actually really easy, its the sax and oboes you have to feel sorry for, especially given the ridiculous page turns in the oboe part: the BSO are playing this in June, and im playing first oboe - had to sight read it on sunday :S Anyone else played this at this speed?

[pocketloft]

The bass clarinet triplets... are death.

[greendinjin]

Is it just me, or does it for a bar or two at 2:43 sound very similar to the ending of Festive Overture?

[Finners1551]

yes :)

[Ralph95Mind]

I just LOVE the piano solo part and the theme ! Long live Shostakovich in my Soviet heart !

[TheMagician123456]

I know right

[Ahmahly72]

oh man. i love it, but we are currently playing this and im a clarinet new to my symphonic band, and i was like..."you're kidding, right?" hehe

[TehChahlesh]

Isn't this piece also in the gadfly suite?

[Nevsly]

Yes (but with other orchestration)

[MicrobeObliteratorMo]

reminds me the time we played his 2nd waltz (c minor) in band...i was on mallots and the middle section with the clarinets was like suicide...but this sounds so much harder 0.0

[Youallknowlee]

i had to learn it in a day -.-

that was crazy.

[nord1991]

it's not that difficult ;) we play it

[MarcoRampo86]

it's too difficult to play

[ianchow107]

2:25 is the man!!!!!

[Imxset]

Yes.... I agree.... woodwind suicide :X

You can't hear it, but the clarinets have mad triplets and so do the flutes. Yowch =\

[The5thMizukage]

you'd agree with my mate then we're playing this at my orchestra and he plays the clari and it's practical sucide

[gdzieroth]

This is one of my favorite pieces ever.  This is the first time I've heard the orchestral original. I've only ever played De Meij's band arrangement.

[dani4band08]

This is woodwind suicide to play this at the tempo given. lol

[leese7242]

Tell me about it - I've just sight-read 1st in the wind band arrangement and nearly killed myself in the process :-D

[abcaster]

@dani4band08 Well, I just ruined my right leg on the tambourine part :)

[JJBRMusic]

@dani4band08 A suicide that is well worth it. :D

[PADisAwsome]

I get to attempt to play the accordion part lol

[aznpiccplayer123]

lol My school's marching band's playing this for the field show. It's about this speed, too!

[enlatadafeliz]

2:23--> Impressionant

[astrosplif]

Very catchy tune, Shostakovich was a master at this kind of music.
