Very difficult piece to tackle. Bravo. My main beef is not your fault; I felt the conductor rushed this piece. The tempo was far too fast in my opinion. No offense to your band mates however, your accompaniment did not do you justice. Kudos. I would not have had the guts to attempt such a difficult piece at your age.
enjoyed this , this is not mediocre, ignore that comment. for a first attempt at Hummel which, I gather, this was it's a very promising start. well done indeed
well . .it's only cheating to play it on an Eb if you can't play it on a Bb and this lad can play it on everything, I've heard him. . . . .and Hummel did write it for E trumpet , it's transposed down a semitone to Eb . . . .

I guess being able to play a mediocre rendition at a young age is considered good these days. A lot of improvement required... but fortunately a lot of time to do it! If he makes it, he'll wish this video didn't exist ;)
WOW!!! That is pretty cool; well done :)

I doubt anyone in that room knew just how well you played that.

15? Wow, I hope you stick with trumpet. And from this recording you sound quite a few years ahead of your accompaniment.

He's in the NYO, the accompaniment is just a local band.

I am working on this piece this year. This is a good recording, but your accompaniment doesn't do you justice.

they only had a couple of rehearsals to practice! and they are all young players and it is a difficult piece, they can be excused :)
