How not to play Tchaikowsky's 5th symphony horn solo

[alan1963]

I love all musicians of Chicago Symphony Orchestra that they don't like mistakes because they are so professional!!

[GriseLovesRoses]

The worst audience EVER.

[LlamaLuver86]

I'll keep this in mind at solo & ensamble...DO NOT PLAY LIKE HIM...

[sahand144]

I thought he was good!!!

[DoThatReject]

Funny as it is, I still think it's rude to laugh at the guy... It sounds pretty crap and really funny, but he probably worked his butt of to perform it.

[stahlbp1]

@DoThatReject he's messing up on purpose, but i understand your concern

[SteveTheCart]

Actually, I thought it sounded fine.

[Treijim]

Somehow, this sounds more emotional, honest, exposed, vulnerable, and pitiful than the original, and I like it for that. It's still music, and it still conveys emotion.

[vandemony]

is he serious?

[ultracherry55]

@vandemony no.

[aivadai67]

jajajajaajajajajajajajaja

[monkeyliz418]

hahahahaha this is GREAT.

[TheGilmer]

This is amazing! :D

[maikel371]

i think this is just an amuzement show

[edizaed]

hillarious and impresive at the same time.

it's harder to make it sound like that than to make it sound good ( when you really play )

beautyfull strong sound

[pongrules12]

im a euph player, so thats prrroooblllabbbyyy what i would sound like on horn hahaha

[chronoboy]

oh Kendall.....you haven't changed a bit I see :c)

[Rachman1337]

I remember having to play this solo. It's hard when you've had to play first the whole time before. Still, I did NOT play this poorly lol.

[mJbb23]

Yes, I see what you did there. You breathed in the wrong place. Don't follow the orchestra, let them follow you. It is, afterall, your solo. So damn the Orchestra, you take your time and get the musical interpretation first. Good Soldier!

[edwardandbella4evr1]

lolololololol loved this!!! :p

[123456789valadares]

wtf !!!! this is jocking with a guy

[Kutsurabi]

Man. That french horn guy sucks. He looks old though... Did he just start the horn after a long break or something? And I just want a word with that audience. It's very rude to laugh at a performance cuz everyone there is trying their best even if they do suck lots and lots of walnuts...he has amazing projection and a really great sound which is amazing for such an old person. I would imagine their lips would be saggy and not firm enough to play but i guess not. Kudos for trying such a hard solo

[hornist007]

First of all, he's wearing a wig. Second of all, he used to be principal in the Minnesota orchestra. This was all a joke.

[Kutsurabi]

I guess you didn't sense the joking nature of my two posts...

[moviesmyway]

@Kutsurabi hahahahahahahahahaha were you that clueless?lol.

[Kutsurabi]

@moviesmyway @moviesmyway it was a sarcastic post meant to be troll bait and to be taken as a joke yet some people have taken it seriously. No I'm not that clueless, it's pretty apparent to an experienced brass player that he's faking as well as he can but it's pretty apparent he really does know how to play horn just based on his performance, not to mention the video description. and as @theantikikyo said, "...he tries to suck (how not to play) but his tone quality is still amazing..."

[JawigginsH]

@Kutsurabi you're retarded

[re3006]

C vc estiver tocando assim......nunca suba num palco para fazer um apresentação...... sei que é difícil....but.....esse senhorzinho....em vez de tirar palmas.... tirou várias risadas da platéia...rs

[udum24]

how rude! he messed up and you laugh! shame on you for being a bastard its damn music not stand up!

[jneamtu08]

if you read the explanation of the video its a prof who intentionally messes up. so its funny. just fyi

[TarHeelHorn]

You should read the explanation of the video... It's done purposefully to explain a musical principle.

[fagbowsa]

omg everyone was laughing. poor person... ahahahahahah ;D

[ShelbyTSheep]

Sadly, this is how I would sound if I tried to play this solo right now... That's what happens when you get a trumpet player in high school trying to play french horn, I guess. Hahaha. This is great.

[mvmella]

That was depressing!

[elbenjaeckchen]

Headshot

The french horn-Armageddon

[wagaum]

I hope I sound better than this. [2]

hahahahahahaha

[serena1232]

nice, lol I'll keep his version in mind b4 my audition. I hope I sound better than this.

[alexgreg12]

I was there when this happened. I hadn't laughed for hard for a long long time...

[Russianfire8371]

This makes me feel better about myself :-)

I'm glad i didn't play that solo like that for my Indiana audition

[theantikikyo]

I love how he tries to suck (how not to play) but his tone quality is still amazing. hahaha <3333

[marieantionette]

i kno lol

[timothyrreeves]

never heard a lip trill in the Tchaik 5th solo before. LOL.

[middlemori]

hehe the E-F#

[hornalicious]

lol, the hat kind of reminds me of the top of a mushroom :P

[vladibrass]

audition improbable? :)

[ShaunRodgers]

wow. this is really funny. i dont even know how you could play it this badly on purpose without being younger than 8.

[voicesinurhead01]

Haha. Could you imagine if this was serious and everybody was actually laughing at the guy?

Lol damn.

[Dogsledfan]

PDQ Bach would be proud - not much else to recommend this, I'm afraid.

[waddleduckie1]

Oops I meant, demonstration. Sorry. :"-<

[waddleduckie1]

That was sweet demonstation...... but what is with the hat?

[hornist007]

It's not a hat. It's a wig of curly white hair.
