this is amazing

[saxhltti221]

@TheRetchin

Thank you.



[TheRetchin]

@saxhltti221 it's inspiring because I play both saxophone (tenor though) and piano, and I'm learning this song. Go Gershwin!

[saxhltti221]

@TheRetchin

toi toi toi！



[TheRetchin]

@saxhltti221 I don't mean to sound ignorant, but what is toi toi toi? I couldn't figure out what it meant, and I scoured the Internet.

[saxhltti221]

@TheRetchin

It is German charm、meaning “Good luck” or “Enjoy yourself”

Especially among musicians, enjoy playing, it has been used in greeting.

[danbob246]

Is there anyway of getting hold of the piano part also, as I cannot buy the score from the link you posted, as I can't read japanese! Sorry!

[xybot2]

Ok I am a huge fan of this song and how you played it. My saxophone teacher wants me to play it for recital but he said I need the piano part. I live in America and I'm not sure how to get it from amazon. Little help please.

[saxhltti221]

@xybot2

Can't you buy　it from Amazon?

I'll send a message to you.

[que2pineapple]

i like how your sax screamed in that lady's face

[saxhltti221]

@que2pineapple

Yes,She's very cute Pianiste.

[MansoonSpennyFilms]

This is brilliant!!!!!! Your tone is fantastic on the altissimo and your vibrato is beautiful!!!!!! Your glisses are also incredible!!!!

[saxhltti221]

Thank you.

Please Check another arrangement.

[maayanfr]

Great sound both sax and piano! Good job both! :)

[saxhltti221]

Thanks for your comment.

[Danidurga]

Ese saxo suena casi a clarinete!!!! Suena muy parecido a la versión de Disney...

[pakmanATL]

Very nice! Enjoyed it very much!

[CloudStrifeThe1st]

Ho-ly crap...I always wanted to play this tune, and I play sax...but for the love of me, I can't get that high! Jesus...

[SimplyAnnah]

gorgeous!!! :)

[circusfarts]

Prepare the thumb down response as I'm not a music critic and this may sound foolish.

1. I can't believe you can make that sound with a goddam saxophone, if the visual was not there, I'd swear blind it's the clarinet, except 4 the parts where u rock off a bit.

2. I miss one of my favourite parts which isn't in this-The high screech which should be at 1.53 and 1.59.

3. I love the woman's passion at .08- head movement.

4.Thanks for this. I demand a remake, just 4 me with that high note.

[acer1346]

How do you play a G over the staff?

[saxhltti221]

1.p. . .4.Ta C5

[acer1346]

Oh ok, thanks. I asked my friends how to finger it but it looked weird

[saxhltti221]

There is a lot　of Fingerings to sound one note .

I judge it from the relations of before and after, an interval and use the most suitable thing in the phrase.

[cup1234554321]

JEEZE!!!! You are the best!!! :O:O I love you!! What's the easiest way to play that long note at the start?

[saxhltti221]

There is no easy way. There is an exercise.

When you are weak in a glissando, you substitute it by a chromatic scale

[Musiciankdsc]

My instructor told me this was impossible on sax. or rather the glissando at the beginning. Wow. HOLY CRAP. AMAZING. I've tried it sooo many times. any pointers?

[saxhltti221]

Blow with Saying "WeeeeeeeeeeeYeah!!"

[Musiciankdsc]

.... Ok I'll try it! Thanks!

[Musiciankdsc]

And as far as fingerings go, It makes it difficult on saxophone because you can't peel your fingers off the holes like a clarinetist can, so what should I do there?

[saxhltti221]

FIngerings is not so important.

Try to make wide intonations with single fingering.

[Musiciankdsc]

Ok. Thank you so much :)

[Kyonimo]

you are amazing! i play sax and i had to play this for grade 4. not like that though! (:

[saxhltti221]

Play not like someone but like you.

toy! toy!! toy!!!

[DuMbNeSsz]

You're Amazing.....

[saxhltti221]

Thank you.

[wiiwheel64]

This is one of the best recordings of this song i have ever heard! Well played

[saxhltti221]

Thank you.

[rosumust2008]

Great performance.

Can you explain how you play de first glissando?

[saxhltti221]

say weeeeeeeee,

and move finger slowry.

[saxhltti221]

Re-Up Loaded Music sheet.

See Coments.

[jazziesax]

Thank you!

[saxhltti221]

I studied under Nobuya Sugawa in Tokyo University of the art .

[jazziesax]

You are a talented and experienced saxophone player.

Where did  you get the music?

[frolickfriendster]

bravo! your sax was even better than some clarinets on other interpretations. indeed, its not only the instruments that matter, but most importantly, the player behind whatever instrument is used in the interpretation. i wish though there was a violin accompaniement.

[WUxODPx08]

as much as Rhapsody in Blue is really supposed to be played on a clarinet it sounded very good on the sax too. nice job.

[saxhltti221]

Thank You

[saxhltti221]

thank you.

[n9233f]

Where did you get the music?
