Hindemith - Sonata for Trumpet and Piano - 1st movement

[MrGreenGamer64]

I'm playing this for solo and ensemble! :D

[sanso408]

I am working on this solo as an all state audition solo do u have any suggestions?

[Freknaruto]

Love your trumpet playing please more

[s93lnknprk]

i really loved this performance! ill be using this for music school auditions! any advice for the piece?

[proggoth]

Reading some of the comments....and I thought 'guitarists' were a bunch of pretentious critics. Let me just say zcilingir...a fine performance! Enjoyed it! Keep up the good work!

[alzira1991]

where's the sheet? :D

[Dankbarkeit1980]

Very good! I played this work ( the piano part) and I love it! As about if turkish people can understand the german music...well, as far as I know hindemith organized the turkish conservatory in Ankara and a lot of turkish pianists studied in Germany (Idil Biret by W. Kempff) and in France. Nationality is not important for the music.

[al345464]

I like to breath support and lack of vibrato on the long sections.  Excellent.

[LivingInBox5]

great articulation on the quiet parts!

very nice :)

[ybravura]

Strong playing and breath support, even on the quiet passages.

Vibrato is actually a relatively recent development in style, and if you listen to recordings of Hindemith playing the viola, he uses no vibrato.

[kevincatch22]

I love how everyone is a critic on the Internet. Great job.

[codeman953]

What kind of trumpet is that?

[conorstev]

Bb trumpet

[matters9319]

@codeman953 looks like a xeno but i don't know

[jesemus33]

Glenn Gould at the piano!!!!!

[jsteuernol]

lol @ the piano player

[wvumusic1]

WaltersQuincy : Have you ever played the Hummel Trumpet Concerto? I recommend this for the audition. It's a great standard in the trumpet world, and shows of many different styes of your playing.

Good Luck!

[WaltersQuincy]

Would anyone reccomend this piece for a youth orchestra audition, or should I gow with Andante et Aleegro by Ropartz?

[matters9319]

Andante et Allegro is considered a level 5 solo so you get 4 less points than you would get from a level 6 solo. One of which is the hindemith. So I guess it really depends on the situation...it's your choice

[guitarslim56]

You should play the piece that you sound best on.

[trumpetdemon]

No Andante et Allegro...that is bad bad bad. If you can play the Hindemith do eet! XD

[trumpetmaster345]

i love this piece so much and that was awsome!

[WaltersQuincy]

So cool!

[hensheler20]

great job

[trompetissimo]

Bravo Zeynep!Great progress the last 2 years.

[drxtuba]

As to the post earlier

Hindemith's Sonatas were actually duo sonatas, not solo and accompaniment.

The name (trumpet/tuba) sonata refers to the instrument who has the melodic/thematic material, with the piano displaying technique....though the solo parts are technical and hard to play

[altonoir]

informative!!!

[crissotine]

Very beautiful sound !

[qazxswcdevfrbgtnhy]

interesting how the piano part is harder than the solo trumpet.

[ryanzawesome65]

yeah the accompinament is pretty hard

[ZJBallard]

my dad is dreading the day he has to accompany me for this piece..

[OMFG4K]

Not perfect, but great job on a difficult piece!

[radudeATL]

2:17-2:23 your accompanist had an "oh Shit" moment - priceless. =)

Really fine trumpet playing! A little on the quick side, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless!

[mickinla]

I am working on the piano accompaniment for a friend. That part where he messed up at 2:17 is so tricky for me and throws my trumpet friend off when I play it right. You gotta hand it to them for picking it right back up again.

[andantea09]

Also, if you have not listened to Wynton Marsalis' rendition of this, you just gotta listen to it!!!

[ZJBallard]

Thomas Stevens has a phenomenal recording of Hindemith

[andantea09]

Really good. The only thing I would really suggest is to really open your throat. Especially at the "Breit" on the high B natural. This piece only works wonders if you force alot of air through the horn. Also try keeping your corners of your embouchur really tight....you'll need it for this one. But over all Bravo!!!

[robwushu]

I am told by someone who performed this piece with Nadia Boulanger (a long time friend of Hindemith) that the composer said specifically "no vibrato"!

Nice job "zcilingir"! I'm working on it myself and I'll be happy when I reach the stage when I can get through it as cleanly as you do. How did you get on in the contest? This was the first round, right?

[zcilingir]

thanks for the comment. I wish the best of luck to you in yours, I'm sure you'll do a better job than me. It really is not easy to perform this one on stage.

This was actually the second round of the competition. I played the Neruda concerto in the final round. Although, the sound quality of the recording is more problematic on that one, I have still uploaded the 1st movement. Other movements will be here soon too.

[michaelbme]

@zcilingir

This was an awesome performance! Did you win? I am willing to bet that you got first (even though I didn't hear the other performers).

[ilginya]

hindemith kötü ama ingilizce iyi:)

[music8hour]

I do not think ,that Ankara-Turkey understand the culture of Hindemith.----------and the Tempo is much too quick.

[zcilingir]

My playing does not represent the whole city/country. Just like the fact that you're arrogant doesn't mean that German nation is necessarily the same way.

Thanks for the comment.

[TheBlackPage1]

Nice playing! :) It'll be a while before I can play this as well as you.

[altonoir1]

I love Dr. PAul!!!!!...even over all those heavy, colorful and dissonant quartal harmonic sonorities,one can still sang those glorious and majestic melodies!

[srotceh]

recently I showed this piece to him Eric Aubier, said q to me in the main phrase is q to maintain it, for example from the beginning until I number 1 is the same dynamics. and not to lower the shade.bye

[javianmb]

I think you have a nice sound, but I wish you could use a little vibrato and I think this piece needs a very orchestral style consistently throuhgout the whole piece which you seem to lose a little bit of that as the piece went on. Overall, great job!!!!;)

[srotceh]

this very well, but needs but feeling, a little vibrato would not do damage to him to the work.but in any case this executed very well

[Bachstrad37]

very well played bravo, in the future just watch you rhythem it was a little flakey at times...over all tho great job, i just played this peice for a audition, its a blow

[zcilingir]

hey thanks... but i was wondering which parts are rhythmically flakey, cos I gave special attention to the rhythm and I was surprised that I had still missed stuff. So please let me know, that's important to me..

[judgedredd118]

Stop it, Stop it Now!

[SkaDork660]

i think it is one of my favorite recordings of it, and i like the alternate fingerings you used. and all your notes were extremely crisp and clean with no clams:)

[judgedredd118]

good job though. :)

[zcilingir]

no mercy please :)

[judgedredd118]

I don't like it. Maybe its just my interpretation though. I think she could use more air and less lip muscle.

[Dermon17]

I agree. The room doesn't resonate at all, but that's not really the problem. Hold your notes out, slow it down and remember, "Mit Kraft" = with strenth. I think the piano is outshining you. It needs to be the other way around. Also, pitchy. Love you though :)

[27Tatjana]

wow...
