Hummel Trumpet Concerto - First Mvmt. - Performed by Robin

[Chaodaman]

@WillatFire11

Case open. This is a romantic composition by a romantic composer during the romantic period. Hummel is clearly not a classical composer as this concerto tt he composed is dramatic. Classical pieces are generally not dramatic and, most of the time, do not have a climax.

[lilyellowduckiePhD]

this would a classical piece not baroque. the baroque period lasted until around the mid 18th century when bach and handel both died. it was followed by the classical time period. and im not sure about the trumpet but the mouthpiece is at least a monette.

[TheOriginalGlowstick]

He's SO TALENTED! Better than any other 13 year old trumpet player i know! The only thing that bothers me is his horn angle...BUT he's really good and has a really nice tone quality!

[fakiize]

very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[shadowfox544]

Great tone. I'm 18 and working on this song. You seemed to lack some of the dynamics and articulation, but you've better range and support than I do, lol. Getting through the end of this sucker isn't easy, but you do it well.

[theguitarstrumpet]

is that a monette, it says that on the tags but I'm not sure if it's true.

[johntrumpet1977]

well done kid,i think i was 14 or 15 when i played this for an exam.nice tone at your age

[jasmaxwell77]

great job! keep up the playing. You have a great tone. Soon you'll be playing Principal Chair in the Orchestra if not already.

[DarthShinobi07]

cool.......this is my audition music for county honor band.....i've got most of it down until that trill and those triplets come in at :36

[theguitarstrumpet]

i agree, that part always gets me

[versus110]

It is very difficult to play this Concerto.

You are very good!

[ThatCubeGuy]

the only thing that i think must be taken into consideration is the dotted eighth note followed by the sixteenth not. it sound like you're playing triplet eighth notes with a rest in between. Other than that this was a fantastic performance. Being this good at 13 years old. all i can say is WOW

[bonkersbananas2010]

Awesome for a 13 year old - I wish I had sounded that good at 13! The musicality could use a little fine-tuning, and the energy is lacking in some places, but those are easily fixed, and he IS outstanding for his age.

[Temotony]

i am 13 too =)

working on the same thing myself

[Sichr27]

Good man, but not the best...And what type of trumpet are you playing to??

[a11438]

I dont know the make or model but he is playing a cross-bore varnish free trumpet. It tends to produce a darker sound than most trumpets

[amport]

it's a monette

[trumpetgirly0688]

that is amazing for a 13 year old. I am a 20 year old music major working on this song, and he sounds better than me....I hate to say it....but true!

[todaystomsawyer]

That's amazing for 13!! Wow.

[jensenbeachskater5]

I just got this piece and have to perform it the first weekend of february for Music Performance Assesment, I am 14 and a freshman using a Yamaha Custom Z silver trumpet, wish me good luck!

[WaltersQuincy]

A job well done, no doubt about that. Way to fight that big hunk of metal they call Monette to sound light, and have a nice classical tone.

[petzlmrz]

Wow, what a great job! Good for you. Nice Monette, too, by the way.

[scooteringchris]

wow great tone keep it up !

[ARMYstrong419]

if he's 13 he's awesome! great job! i couldn't play it until i was in high school (i didn't try but i'm positive i couldn't have lol)

[billjarvistrumpet]

yeah this kid has great tone quality.

theres a few spots where i really like his interpretation.

great job kid, dont listen to any of the naysayers on youtube. theyre all jealous.

[dynastywho]

i played this sophmore year, yet i must admit i beleive ur sound quality is much better. all i can say is at around 2 40 the low notes sounded kind of blasted. just an opinion

[Foxtrot04]

The only suggestion I could give would be to straighten that posture, though I do see the positioning of the music... maybe bring it up a little more, really helps with projection (though that doesn't sound to be an issue) and should help with airiness of your sound... Great work, I waited till I was a freshmen to try the Hummel, and well competition I let my lips get to me... but I guess going between tuba and trumpet will do that

[TPDR08]

Might I suggest memorizing the piece to allow more focus on musicality. Overall it was an excelent job; theres no way I could do that when i was 13

[haraldtheman]

Man, you are really talented!

[trumpettromba]

wow~ nice job

[phatOG1992]

is that a freakin' monette. kids these days

[Lolerzzz69]

You are absoluetly amazing.

[Motifator61]

Excellent, Robin! At what age did you begin playing the trumpet? What kind of trumpet do you play, and what mouthpiece works best for you? I'm asking you these questions because my son (8 years old) recently expressed an interest in playing the trumpet. So, we may be shopping around for a horn (maybe a student model) and mouthpiece (Bach 7C?) for him soon. You handled this piece very nicely! Keep up the great work!

[hdskull]

I think he's using a monette.

[itsemilyhansen]

yepp

[itsemilyhansen]

i wouldn't consider a monette a "student model"..seeing as its the kind that wynton marsalis uses, and they're like, what, ten thousands of dollars?

but, if he's eight, does his school have a band, because if it does, you could ask the band teacher.. otherwise, yamahas are pretty good and feel nice and play well, getzens are good as well, [i own one], edwards are kindof like monnettes, so would also cost a great amount of money.

[ZJBallard]

Whoa man I saw you at NTC this year

I was also in the jr. division

[feelee15]

baroque trills start on the upper note!

[thseitz]

Is the Hummel concerto considered to be a baroque piece? Hummel lived from 1778-1837

[bsclboy]

i think your right, Hummel is not considered Baroque

[WillatFire11]

@feelee15 Hummel Concerto is a classical piece. J.N Hummel is a classical composer. Case closed

[samanthag153]

Great Tone!! im playing this next year in school! Great Work

[jlopez3292chuchowi]

you got to fell the music

[crazytrumpetman]

jlopez, how do you fell music? Do you mean feel?

[trompetateruel]

teeeeeeeeeemmmmmmpppppppoooooo­oooooo

[MissBreachgye]

well done

[kunaiofdarkness]

i love the sound of a trumpet, so peaceful

[cjmexeecano]

Monet pretty nice. i prefer my bach 43 with a 1c . <3 <3 talk about air.

[Seberry654]

Haha, I have the exact same trumpet and use the same mouthpeice.

[trumpetmanJez]

nice, you must have started early and worked hard to be able to pull that off at 13. good tone, pretty much everything under control, but maybe felt a little slow perhaps? anyway, nice job, and ridiculously nice horn too.

[sanjilamc]

not bad robin, not bad. i wasn't as good as you with 19 :D

[youngjinkimusic]

very impressive...

[mwljazzguitar]

Alright. I'm impressed. Excellent tone, for a youngster... for anyone, really. Great player.

[Seberry654]

age has absolutely nothing to do with musical talent. That kind of talent requires Practise. Yes, you are born with some type of "natural talent" but a lot of it is just practise.

[Jaygenius]

Age has nothing to do with skill, I'm 13 and I can play this too (but only cause I skipped 2 grades so I had to overpractice to compensate).

[eldwinwong]

IS THAT A FREAKING MONETTE~!! =.= Rich kids...

[i8nai4e8]

My favorite!

[lastapoc]

good job kiddo

[jwmtnbiker]

wow that was great, theres no way your 13 though.

[skweenison1]

actually he is 13, i know him personally

[jwmtnbiker]

whoa really? haha, a 13 year old with a monette!? your very lucky. good playing though.

[Ostiosti]

You are 13?! Wow, i'm very impressed of your skills...

[vigopaolo]

Bravo!

[fluteflowers]

Love the sound. Pretty impressive for a 13 year old. Great musicality. Keep on practicing.
