I have to play this as an audition in May and haven't started practicing yet. Not to mention the fact that I'm only a freshman in highschool, so I'm very scared. Also, I have to audition on this in the fall for another honors band. Any tips?
@kittyswillcolor practice slow with control. on those runs that u have to tongue, the tendency is to tongue fast and crazy and strain your tongue. remember u will tongue faster than u really think and do practice slowly or with control and relax. so start practicing.
@kittyswillcolor Don't be scared yet! Start practicing it every day, very slowly at first. Listen to the best recordings you can find, and take it to your private lessons. But practicing is the most important part. Good luck!
@ TimePassLush. And you are an idiot who probably has no skill to anything except mouth off. Matthew I am very impressed with you ability as a musician. Keep up the good work and ignor morons that make comments like the Lush made.
Nice performance. I think the ending needs to me a little more in your face. When you are going up the run into the last trill you need to grow and not back down, the forte-piano you did really ruined the moment of resolution.
This is an amazing song...I first heard it on Skins season 2 episode 8...and have been dying to find a good version. This is purely genius. I'm thinking about playing this solo for contest. Thoughts? :)
oh.. my..god... THAT'S what my teacher gave me?? Oh man.. I'll giv eit a go, hope I don't kill it. That was positively amazing Matthew.. you are my new hero.

@FragRaptor I definitely agree with that in your face part... the last theme is so show-off-y and I think Weber intended for it to be like that lol

Where can I see a copy online and buy a copy of this piece? I need it for school. JW Pepper doesn't have an option to see the music on this one.
