PARECE QUE TÁ SABOREANDO A BOQUILHA...

[prometheus0125]

Nice playing! thanks for sharing such a good music.

[piplupmaster100]

y does it look like a clairinet?

[IrishPotatoSack]

@piplupmaster100 Because that's the way saprano sax's are shaped :P

[WilbertVereAwdry]

@piplupmaster100 If you're still interested in an answer, soprano saxophones are typically shaped in a straight, conical fashion, rather than the bent, conical fashion associated with other saxes, because it is far easier to make them straight than curved, much like the clarinet. A curved soprano requires more work done to it with the same results as a straight soprano, so only a few companies are willing to spend extra time and money to make curved ones. Plus straight soprano saxophones usually

[WilbertVereAwdry]

@WilbertVereAwdry have a better, brighter sound than curved ones (depending on the instrument) and are favored by most saxophonists for their distinctive tone, relatively cheap price (compared to curved soprano saxes) and their ease of maintenance. Combine all those factors when making a soprano sax, and the result is a straight-bodied, conical reed-blown aerophone much resembling the modern clarinet. That's why you'll find most soprano, sopranino, and all sopranissimo saxes, resemble clarinets.

[StephenBagley247]

amazing

[tilyae]

Oh, I've answered my own question, I see that the music is by Dave Koz "Know you by Heart". Thanks for posting it.

[tilyae]

Such I beautiful song and beautifully and soulfully played by a sensitive and talented musician. Could you tell me the name and composer of the piece as I would like to order the music.

Thank You and my condolences for losing a dear friend.

Be Blessed and keep on playing.

[SuperSaxy93]

"Know You by Heart" by Dave Koz

[davigdossantos]

The sensation of peace is great when someone to heard this music. When somebody heard you play, then it's impossible not believe in God. Congratuations!

[Oathkeeper1992]

This is why music is here, and why it is so great. Your amazing, thanks for the great music. I wish I could play Soprano Sax, but I already play a bunch of others.

[PumpkinThePleasantEn]

I watched this video well over a year ago, and I was incredibly impressed, playing alto, tenor, and occasionally soprano and baritone. Let me tell you, this vid impressed me just as much as it did then. BEAUTIFUL JOB!

[polloman29]

Wow... ongratulations, man, you're very good at that soprano.... its incredible the beatufil sound of a soprano sax... don0t you think?

[freakystyley73]

I totally agree!! (love it since i first heard kenny Gorelick)

[SydFly13]

Beautiful. That's all there is to say.

[YouthJazzEnsemble]

AMAZING! I hope you keep with the soprano sax! As a fellow sax player I am glad to see someone who shares my love for the saxophone and is a great player. AMAZING!

[rafa46parkour]

quien me puede pasar la partitura

[SuperSaxy93]

Amazingly beautiful.

[wwwrrr46]

this is so beautiful

[rafa46parkour]

como se llama la cancion?

[ChrischeK]

"Know You by Heart" de "Dave Koz"....;D

[mysunstillshines]

WOW! I am amazed at how well you play. I play Alto (poorly) and recently started Bari (I'm still bad). I always wanted to try a soprano, but never got the opportunity to. Now I'll have to try harder. You've inspired me! And I'm very sorry about your friend...

[doormatt3500]

this video inspired me to learn how to play the saxophone, such a wonderful song and such a wonderful performance.

[RCconrow]

Very nice some of the better soprano sax playing that i've heard.

[hfordtcruise]

nice job tim, and gee you have 25 thousand views!

[saxmaster37]

why the HELL do people always ask for the music it's not that damn hard to transpose the stuff yourself, I do it all the time sheesh

[empirejazzband]

I agree, although it's transcribing, not transposing. Still, I agree with what you're saying, I prefer doing it that way.

[lacrosse243]

awsome job! can i get the name of that song? i'd like to play it.

[raptorsrock333]

omg i love that im sorry for your freind that past away

[jasonandmusic]

nice!

[Awididishioush]

You're really good. Keep it up buddy.

[madsaxmax]

[afinny007]

[kenwailei]

[TimothySun]

[Avalon6142]

keilwerth?

[DianeLuna]

I play Saxophon Soprano too !

I love this instrument ....

What a beautiful song ! Wouah !

[Sheee320]

Beautifull!

You're really good,

I'm sorry for you loss.

[Superlions123]

What Mouthpiece is this?

[Saxace]

Your tone's pretty jazzy which fits this piece. I am surprised to see that you are actually holding the damn thing right and not like a clarinet like I've seen so many people do. The performance conveys a nice feeling. Good job overall.

[cooldude04br]

o yea my email is cooldude04br@hotmail..

[cooldude04br]

good job.. i play the soprano sax also its a selmer 80 . aniway i'd like to hear some of the xmass tracks u got ..

happy new year..

[saxgodtim24]

For those of you wondering if I had a CD, I just recently finished a Christmas Album with friends of mine from college. If you are interested in hearing a couple of the tracks send me your email address and I would be happy to share them with you. Have a Happy New Year!

Tim

[zarczynskikm]

Hey Tim, can I have some of the tracks that you made? I love to listen to you play.

[saxgodtim24]

I appreciate all of your wonderful comments on my video. Your input and remarks mean a lot to me.

I will admit that I tend to over blow some of my crescendos, it's just my style. I have worked with my professors this past year to correct the way I perform my crescendos and I have made great progress.

My soprano saxophone is a Yamaha YSS-475 model. I would recommend this instrument to anybody who would like to learn to play the soprano sax.

[loaffy1]

i thought it was amazing. joshsize89 did you ever think he wanted the cresendos to be like that? i thought all the cresendos sounded fine

[ergudmun2]

Excellent!

[TThyme31]

Amazing playing man ur friend would so be pround of that... What type/ model sax, ligature, and mouthpiece setup do you use?

[NumberOneItachiFan]

What is the name of this song?!?!?!?

[joshsize89]

great tone and all..but i agree with the comment below about the overblow cresendos. maybe if you cresendoed through longer phrases instead of choppping them up it would be more effective. otherwise...one of the best soprano sax sounds ive heard

[silentbob522]

beautiful....his friend would be proud

[oklahomma]

I really like it, I just don't prefer the overblown crescendos.

[painfulcactus]

I play soprano!!!! I love it they have great sound I also play tenor and alto =)

[Trackfanatic74]

That was great.

[muddles79]

beautiful sound

[Doglover7643]

I LOVE YOU TIM YOUR SOO GOOD!!!

[Ryeguy40]

I've never seen or heard a Soprano Sax play but i play Tenor and Bari and i want to eventualy try all of them

[TMaria95]

I play alto sax... I want to play soprano though. This is so beautiful! I love saxophones!

Viva Rebelde!

1_Life!

[WastingtimeInc]

yah i want to switch so badly, too! It is so beautiful.

[youarebeingridiculou]

Beautiful. Please keep playing. You are very talented. Do you have a cd out yet? I would like to get a copy.

[BrokenVai]

What tuning is it in? I was thinking about learning to play it, and I play tenor sax.

[Heyheyheyhobo]

For just learning sax, get a yamaha, the student model, so that you dont spend a ton of money, play it for one week, and never touch it again

[andwii]

get a vito...

[MercifulMe]

Get a brain.

[Saxmaster1230]

dude i have had so many bad experiences with vito its basically a money pit

[ultrasexybeast94]

awsome i love the s sax it is so realxing i play it 2 and i love it more than all of them plz post more

[afinny007]

dude are you stupid? Soprano's are used in jazz all the time for solo's but you have an amazing tone is that a selmer?

[bewbs1]

That's beautiful

I'm looking on gettning a sax

clarinets fun

But saxophone is lovely

Tell me what brand i should get

Soprano/alto

[aisx]

get a yamaha!

[guitarkaley]

you shouldnt get people to tell you what to get, you should get what you feel best on :D

[riqi]

if you really wanna play jazz, get an alto! soprano is too sweet. soprano mainly used for touching songs.

[dillonrockband]

dang, that's about as high-pitched as a viola.

[saxgodtim24]

I want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments on my video. Its hard to believe its almost been one year since the loss of my good friend Matt. This performance always reminds me of the good memories that we shared. I miss you buddy. M.T.V. 1988-2006

[usmc007]

just pure and beautiful, Im sorry for your loss. You should add more. great job.

[spwflor]

Beautful

[blindside398]

I almost cried man; shivers, and heart warming feelings. Great job. If there's a heaven, your friend is smiling down on you and you deserve it man. Beautiful playing.

[RafasaxBR]

Much jugglery sample to have a basic sound.

I did not like the saxophonist by the form that he touched but the music until is good. It is what I consider

[3dude6]

im new to soprano how hard is this if u dont count the high notes :D

[floyd76]

Beautiful song! You really did this song justice. Nice job.

[sharethefaith]

your almost as good as coooljazzz

[saxgodtim24]

The piece is called "Know You By Heart" and it was composed by Dave Koz

[cosmicgirl428]

[Sooch]

Tim! Amazing work as usual, I can always see that little bit of glow from all of your glory. Hope to see you around town sometime soon!

[Yhalia13]

[carlos224417]

maravilloso desde argentina te saludo sigue adelantecarlos tu admirador

[BooDog2]

You play the song with such emotion. I've probably watched your video 1000 times over. It just dosnt get any worse. The first time I watched you I almost cried. I then tried to learn it by listening to you. (I have a very good ear) I played it on my alto saxophone and my mom heard and she cried and then offered to get me a new sopranno! Loved you and God bless you! :)

[SaintRocky]

it sounds absolutely gorgeous

[flocottee]

hey i have an alto too and REALLY want to learn how to play this too but my ears don't seem to be as good as ures lol. Do u think u'd be able to send me the sheet music? flojo_c@hotmail(dot)com

[GoodMan06]

Soprano Saxophone! Its looks neat! Outstanding performance!!!

[Lossujetos]

Muy buen sonido tienes! ¿eh? muy bueno!!!!

[ajikpajik]

Nice ..can you send me a notes of this?i will very happy

[calledbyfaith]

Dear Tim, You have taken the soprano sax to another level. Praise God's name who has equiped you with the ability to play so eloquently. Great intonation! Share with me the name of that song. Cell# (973)380-2678 THANKS.

[christanajohnson]

Glory to God!! Wow! I felt that through the computer!

[pluspbplus]

Great job, you sound very nice, can you give me the piano and sax score of this song please? I would like to make this show with my girlfriend. Thanks.

[TJCS1989]

Praise God. You do such a great job with filling the emotions of the song. What brand of sax do you play here? How long have you been playing? I've played the clairnet and I've been wanting to get a soprano sax one but don't know the first thing about them. What would you recommend? Yours has such a good sound. Blessings and keep on pressing into Him so He will bless your music muinistry.

[fairiesinparis]

Loved it, I almost cried, well I cried everytime I hear this song. Good job!

[aibezjm]

Tim Florjancic is really good.

[sguitar]

You play so nice with a lot of feeling that bring tears in my eyes

[Dahro1993]

You have a beautiful sound. I play the alto saxophone, but I in an orchestra with many sopranos, so I know what I'm talking about...

[MrGameface]

total suck

(j/k)

[jhulepp2]

do you any more videos. thanks.

[andwii]

WOW!!!

[nyxiange]

The song's written to be fantastic !!

and you did a great job by playing it emotionally!!

Great Job dude!!

[saxgodtim24]

I want to thank you all for your very nice words. That performance was all for my buddy. This performance was actually the day we buried him, it was perhaps one of the hardest days of my life. He was my best friend and I will never forget the memories we shared. God Bless. Matthew T. Valus 1988-2006

[Dahro1993]

My sister's best friend died also. When we buried her, there was a girl who played the saxophone. I know how difficult it is. Stay playing the sax. It can help you very much...

[miszyMo]

I love it! I play the soprano too, but I'm not nearly as good as you are =D

[Galans]

I like your interpretation. Very personal style. Great!

[JazzySaxE]

your tone is very good and pleasurable to hear.. I mainly like alto but you inspire me to give soprano a try too

[angel6825]

kenny g is more of the jazz. Tim has the classical tone. Great job Tim... I'm playing the soprano saxophone too in a band...

[JPSaxMan]

I think actually the classical tone in this setting was very appropriate as it was a tribute to a deceased friend. And, actually, in my observation, you couldn't hear much of the classical tone until more towards the end.

[tagimoucia7]

you just inspired me to play the soprano saxophone. very well played and very elegant in its tone.

[Saxplayer33]

1 word Awesome. Nice..

[saxboi]

u r better then kenny g.

[JazzySaxE]

haha he really is and so are you... doesnt matter if you actually picked up a sax or not your probably better than kenny g

[yonakito]

wow this is really good i play the sax mainly alto but i love this its great good tone!!

[usmcorey]

Good sound Tim.  When playing this style, make sure your vibrato is not metered.

[TimothySun]

hey, dont get the wrong kenny g meaning, your playing is really touching... very well play.. love it so so so much.

[TimothySun]

sounds like Kenny G... very good indeed

[kipmarlap]

your tone is profesional

[zadli]

Awesome play Tim. I also play the soprano, and how I wished I could learn a thing or two from you

[shockthesky]

the part at around 2:09 til around 2:35 or so is really lovely.

[airatak]

this is so insanely professional!!

[cow727]

its soo buetyful i guess i have to practice more

[jabbajedi]

great playing kid. i like your style. your friend was listening you know... he knows you by heart.

[shockthesky]

people always say that to comfort people but how can someone dead listen now? how? they are dead and gone - it's no comfort, and it just makes everything worse. Of course theres things I dont understand. My wife is dead, I'm here alone, I'm sure my wife would be proud of me, but how am I supposed to know that.

[jabbajedi]

I just want you to know that just last month my grandmother died- and it shocked my world. she never got a chance to hear me playing. And this kid's playing was touching to the heart. I played for the first time for my nani- and I choose to believe that she was there listening in spirit. It has to be some comfort. I do not understand it all either- but there are things that we have to just simply believe in.

[TinyCrash]

Im sry to ask this...what actually happen to his friend?

[realdavekoz]

Tim...was checking out You Tube and found your beautiful version of my song, "Know You By Heart". What a lovely way to honor the memory of your friend...way to go. Keep up the great work and all my best, DK.

[TinyCrash]

You modified the song a little...i love ur version!

[calledbyfaith]

What is the song called???Please share.Thank u!!!

[sakasshin]

Wow...special

[littleluv]

amazing!

[JoeTheAssassin]

Mr. Florjancic, you sound great on that soprano, and I'm sure you've made your friend Matt proud. I've transcribed 'One Last Thing' .... but you actually sound like Koz you did this song for good reason, so God Bless and great job!

[tmurphy941]

Tim: your presentation was absolutely superb. Thank you for sharing. Thanks also to your accompianist. T. Murphy

[iggie89]

totally awesome beyond words.. a truly solid perfomance.. your friend's got to be smiling down from heaven right now

[RiHard2000]

Incredible preformance Tim. I was touched beyond words. You're the best!

[marcyd2]

Great Job Tim. Matts probably smiling at you right now.

[niclow]

i believe your friend would have been so very proud of you...

[niclow]

i loved it!

[JustSorrel]

...

[Jazz8751]

Nice job ! He's proud of you i'm sure ! Could not have done better ;)

[Dobbs734]

I'm speechless Tim...He would be so proud of you.

[zarczynskikm]

Tim, I am sure that as you played this song, your friend was looking down on you and smiling. You made him proud!!! Great job!!!
