[Strav9]

[eumaroca]

[eumaroca]

try and play it...lol...c if it's easy!!

[Strav9]

@eumaroca

no one said it was easy

[wynton5364]

Hold the damn Camera still please.....I am getting Dizzy...

[zander392]

was this at NTC or something?

[micahj]

@zander392 No, it was a competition at my undergraduate school. However, not long after, I did play this at the NTC. It was much better at the NTC... Smoothed out the rough sections and circular breathed through the long mid section of the piece.

[zander392]

@micahj how do you double tongue and circular breath simultaneously?

[micahj]

@zander392 - I don't! I wish I could... especially now that I'm working on the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. It's so much harder! If you listen carefully, I just omit a sixteenth note here or there and sip the air.

[englishhorndude]

That's certainly the oddest looking cello I've ever seen. lol

Impressive oboes. NICE tongueing!!

[rpoole444]

Micah you are one bad cat! I'm pissed i missed it at NTC.. any how hope life is treating you well,

best,

Reid

[micahj]

Hey man! I JUST got back from basic training! I'm SO glad that's over with :-D

[Jangof3tt]

No chords w/ the flugel horn :'( Well played though. Cleaner than some cellists that I've heard.

[fiberlogo]

nonono......

[wjsado]

props that amazing too bad BSO wont accept him or something hes good, and

is flugel horn closer to a F horn ( i play )

or a trumpet

[micahj]

Definitely closer to a trumpet

[dwhidden]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you rock!  But...your camera man needed a tripod.

[trombaclassics]

Superb technick!

..but why so fast !?

Best regards Frank F

[micahj]

Because it's the tempo at which most cello players play it at. I tried to stay true to the music. Those intervals are definitely easier slow, though :-P

[Gatistrumpet]

great :),..question-from which country you are?

[moderndivinci]

usa. why?

[micahj]

I'm currently living in Maine. Thanks for the comments!

[Gatistrumpet]

I am interessted in where so good trompeters come from :),love this piece :)

[micahj]

Thank you so much!

[nickden01]

What are your favorite YouTube flugel performances? I'd be grateful if you could favorite a few or maybe make/reference a playlist. Thanks for a wonderful performance here.

[micahj]

Honestly... my favorites are ALL Segei Nakariakov :-) He's such an amazing musician! Anyway, just check out all of his videos to start. From there, all I can say is jazz jazz jazz :-)

[Sviolinist]

nice playin

[JayLizzle]

you give all us non-Nakariakovs hope!

very nice ... I think we all forgive you for breathing a few times between 3:05 and 3:40 :)

[micahj]

Haha, I'm working on that part now, actually! I've figured out a spot or two to sneak in some circular breathing. But Sergei is frustrating... he can circular breathe WHILE double tonguing! :-S

[Drworm89]

Wonderful job! Great technique, intonation, and long phrases. Your Flugelhorn sound is mellow and thick. What kind of Flugelhorn are you using?  Courtois?

[micahj]

Thanks! I'm using a Kanstul 1575. Glad you enjoyed it!

[mecklera]

I have the same flugel, I love it! Sounds great, but why play it on flugel and not Bb or Eb? Just curious.

[micahj]

Thanks! I play it on the flugel because that's how I heard Nakariakov play it. Also, as it's a cello piece, the flugel's rich sound is (in my opinion) more appropriate. Thanks for the comment!

[mecklera]

Ahh, yes. The flugel is more cello-like. beautiful!

[Ranimal006]

I like the interval double tonguing. nice job, I was surprised by how low it starts, it must take quite a bit of air, especially on your flugel.  peace

[micahj]

Thank you :)

It was written for Cello, so breathing wasn't even factored into the compositional structure. It takes a bit of air and many hours of practice! Glad you enjoyed it.

[lucianotrompete]

Muito bom! Ocara manda ver!!!

[Beevsterk]

when was this!!!! way to go micah...

[aavid1]

Wow. This is really good. You are very talented. You should be very proud of yourself. :)

[micahj]

Thank you! :) It's a bear of a piece to play on the flugel/trumpet, but MANY MANY hours of practice were put into it. Still, if you listen to Sergei Nakariakov play it, it's 100 times better! Thanks for the post!

[aavid1]

No problem. :P

You're hot.

[aavid1]

I hear you have a girlfriend, though. Sad.

She's pretty lucky.

[jazzmanta]

I was waiting for some b2 pentatonics!  Bravo Micah and congrats in advance for the PSO performance. Great job working this up (as always).

[vwindahouse]

I'm blown away.

[nicki087]

[classicellist]

Awesome job Micah! You should try Haydn Cello Concerto in D next!

[mbwong]

Great job, Micah. Although, you know I can still beat you at screeching on the flugal.
