MY FAVORITE VERSION BY YOU 2 GENIOUS PEOPLE I LIKE BETTER THAN WYNTON MARSALIS NO OFFENCE MORE CLASSIC AND JUST DID IT WITH NO FANCY EQUITMENT AND JUST DID IT FLAWLESS. I LOVED THIS VERSION
to be honest, this is probably one of the best recitals of this piece i have heard. you play it really well, and although some people may criticise it, they probably dont know how hard this piece is to play.....im learning it at the moment and its really difficult. keep up the good work!

Anything you learn in classical can be twisted and applied to jazz. So by all means, focus on classical and your jazz will begin to improve once you can make those associations
I thiiiink (well i'm pretty sure) he's playing on an Eb Trumpet, so there wouldn't be an ledger lines in this piece for him. Respectively the highest note for him on this instrument is a G. Still a great sounding performance though!
a couple tonal imperfections there on some of those runs. my high school junior girlfriend is playing this for a school All State band audition. and i'm working on the accompaniment so maybe we can play it together sometime. thanks for posting these. they really help me get a handle on how to do them.
you did really good of course u r older than me. i am trying to learn that finale and i cant get very far its really hard. how long did it take u to learn it? im trying to do it for a juilliard audition
Nice comment, but being a music student in a university is somewhere between amateur and professional.
Trent, I like your tone colour (+articulation, dynamics etc but I feel tone colour is important on a higher level). Was this your 3rd year 2nd semester recital?
nice! Listening to this made me want to criticize it, however once i listened to the very end i realized that you put more musicality into it then it calls for which is very impressive! NICE JOB
Criticism is fine. "you suck you suck so hard that black holes stand in awe" isn't :P
to be "the very best" was not my intention. though I did not reach my full intention during this performance either it must be admitted. I like a more mature, slightly understated style, not flash shock and awe at high speed, and when played like that I tend to dislike it, ala Wynton Marsallis's recording, (as an example). great to listen to, but still doesn't quite satisfy for me.
A difficult piece to play and he played it very well! I'm learning this piece for my final trumpet exam. Level five trumpet playing for the Cadet Music Program.
Yes, cadets in Canada. The music program goes from level basic to five. I'm getting tested for level five and chose to play this song. It's super hard, but a good piece. :)
I know what you meant Sviolinist. There are a few mistakes however I enjoyed this very much. It reminded me when I was a child playing this for my AMUSA . Like the guitarist Tommy Emmanuel says. "He loves to practice to be a better player."
whats with people posting comments with playing advice? he was gonna be a grad student, i think he had already hear everything u guys have said and took it under consideration or practiced it, plus i doubt many if even any of you are college professors and should even be giving advice
It's all part of the Trumpeter's Psyche you see.. The joke goes, How many Trumpeters does it take to replace a lightbulb? Only one, but then 20 others will come around and say how they would have done it better.
@sexieninja007 I haven't had time to listen to this piece but your comment isn't really convincing. Trust me, people like Yehudi Menuhin and barenboim never are statisfied with their playing, you can always improve something. And then i'm not even talking about the amount of people graduating even though they play really, really REALLY bad....
I don't think your sound needs to be warmer. I think you did awesome =] I like a bright sound. I have one and i'm sick of people telling me to make it darker haha
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no offense if any but you kinda need to work on the warmth of your sound so its not like just jutting out... for example...not a best example but we played this for our concert band and we had one soloist he played with such a warm sound it sent shivers down my back...but you still did a great job congrats haha
This was really good. I want to perform this as a solo myself. I'm only in highschool so I won't sound nearly as good as you or any of the other recordings Ive heard of this concerto but do you have any suggestions on how to practice or how to play thus piece? I would really appreciate your help.
I know this happened a year ago, but this advice is general and can be used at anytime. For double tounging, instead of focusing on Tu Ku Tu Ku Tu, try Ku Tu Ku Tu Ku for about 5 mins, then go back to Tu Ku Tu Ku Tu, it should help you ALOT
wow. even our best senior can't get the beginning and the fast sections with 32nd (or 64th notes, i forget which) but this was incredible to listen to. great job on all 3. (just need to work on the very end a bit)
Very nicely done! I actually performed the first 2 movements for my undergrad recital. Challenging tune, but a great one, isn't it?
Have you checked out a few of the pros performing this piece here on youtube? Marsalis, a young Russian trumpeter, etc.? I had hoped to find Vizzutti playing it, but no luck yet.
Keep up the great work! Congrats on your grad degree, too.
rushed ur 16th notes at measure 4 and at those same melodies lol dont worry i perfront this peice and well played where the very fast part ends with that trill. you have great sound keep up the good work
me finks the pianist is canny good. its not eaxctly an easy bit to play - he is trying to make up for an orchestra.. give him some credit! but gurd piece :)
There are some obvious tiny mistakes that you did go to fast but otherwise you are very good! I really don't like the Pianist too much though... Also is this some modified version? I don't think the piano have that part in the original version? Or does it?
thanks :) Yeh It is alot better with strings but costs too much for me to put such a performance together at the moment. but the Piano reduction version is quite common in Colleges and stuff so thought it might be usefull.
You should try watching Mendez's version. I think he did real good, and by watching his fingers I can play half of the song. BTW, I'm just turning 15, so I'm trying to set a goal to play this one.
i have been playing the trumpet for 14 years now and let me tell you don't learn to play songs by watching peoples fingers and if you are just starting do things that you know how to do buy sheet music or music books and buy the sheet music for this song trust me that really messed me up the first few years of playing so try and learn as much as ypu don't watch pther people
the one nearest me is about $20c a photocopy page, though you need to buy a photocopy card first which is about $2 but you get over $1 worth of photocopying ability out of it straight up (ie it cost's $1 and forces you to buy $1 worth of photocopying). But apart from that small cost it's free.
Wow......... that is cool....... how can someone not appreciate the hard work these musicians put in to this and some are skilled just how they are and if they work at it they get even better.
Not saying that this is bad, just so no one misunderstands me.
Just some comments from my studies. Take it for what it is worth and don't take offense. First off, the overall feel is too heavy. Classical pieces are supposed to be lighter articulation. Second is the long note at the end of the phase, the pitch is not stable. You waver on those.
GREAT! VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY AWESOME. can you give me some hints where to go look for this lofty trumpet stuff. I know Purcell but where else? What did McCartney steal to get that high trumpet on Penny Lane?
Hey great job. You obviously know what you are doing and I think that you did this song great justice. The only thing I noticed is that sometimes it seemed like the runs/cadenzas were played to fast. And I think it has nothing to do with you. I've noticed when I try to play this on a strad. The valves respond almost to fast. If you ever feel so inclined try playing it on a different horn if you feel so inclined.
yeh that's around standard performance speed., or at least within given tolerances of standard performance speed. If you want to hear fast, go listen to Wynton Masalis play it, anything faster than that would be rediculous imo. I'd consider mine in roughly the sweetspot for speed, with a little slower not neccicarily bad.
Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on being Baching Mad on Classical Music Composer trading cards (issued in 1912): Haydn, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and many more included.
Onsets are too loud , too weight too large. But the whole performmance is quite good. listen to Maurice André. I am a singer and we have the same problems. But congratulations that's not easy to play.
I prefer a more staccato approach to the fast passages but ive always liked a nice crisp articulation, I'm also more of a jazz player so >.> great work only constructive critisism I can give is watch your high stuff, to keep it at the same level as your mid range stuff, which is superb. gratz.
May I know what is wrong wiht the pianist? ie, where exactly does he go wrong? he sounds perfectly fine to me, except for a few little slips near the beginning.
Im guessing the few slips, and maybe styalistic interpretation which was more 'showy' and less Classical. However my own performance of the 3rd movement was also along that vein anyway, so it fit. This piece actually replaced my Shostakovich Piano Concerto 1 at short notice due to an issue with another pianist.
I enjoyed your performance. No way would I offer a criticism, as I am completely unqualified. I'm assuming that you received your degree. Congratulations! And pay no attention to that pissant who called you fat. We fat guys are some of the best people!
um work on some of the high notes it sounds like you are squeezing for them and then it doesnt sound like it should i think your forgetting a few of the slurs but make your finger work a bit better and why dont you even put in a cadenza thats what makes you different from everyone else but i dont know my main suggestion is just work on it and get a better pianist thats it
you did not play it enough classical....sorry but practise your phrasing. i do not say that a would do it better, this comment shall just be an advise
This comment should be disregarded... As a musician I can say that is never right to criticize someone's interpretation.. Each person is going to play the same piece in a different way. And that's the way it should be.
great playing! i wish i could play like that =P im actually only 16 and i have to do this piece for my highschool project on a Bb Trumpet and i was wondering if u got any tips to playing it =P i havent exactly looked at it yet but yeah!
wow! amazing ... especailly the pianist .. its probly not the easiest of tunes to accompany ... dnt forget he's trying to be a full orchestra! well done mate!
Sounds like you were struggling a little bit on this piece. either that or your mouthpiece was too big. just sounded a bit too airy...you know what i mean....
Hey musicalaviator, well played! Your sound has really improved since I last heard you. You must be doing good things in melbourne! Keep up the good work.
Woah really good effort - especially with the mordents: they were all really nice and smooth - well done!
Can I ask how you were tonguing the semiquavers in the main recurring theme? MY computer doesn't have the best sound quality. Were you slurring some and tonguing the rest?
Also, strange question, but what mouthpiece were you using?
I thought that it was a really good performance - you should be really proud!
could you tell me how you did in the exam. i played this concerto for my rcm grade 8 .luckily the examiner did not need me to play the whole piece as my lip was about to go to jelly. cadenza was excellent by the way.
yeh I got a Distinction for it, - along with the Neruda and the Quiet City. Neruda is up but unfortunatley Video ran out in Quiet City. I have audio only though which I have set to my Holiday video shot at the 12 Apostles Rock formations in Victoria. Same Recital. Next Recital will be Shostakovich Piano Concerto and *something else*.
This composition is SUBLIME

Just some comments from my studies. Take it for what it is worth and don't take offense. First off, the overall feel is too heavy. Classical pieces are supposed to be lighter articulation. Second is the long note at the end of the phase, the pitch is not stable. You waver on those.

GREAT! VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY AWESOME. can you give me some hints where to go look for this lofty trumpet stuff. I know Purcell but where else? What did McCartney steal to get that high trumpet on Penny Lane?

Leopold Mozart. some of Bach's stuff like Magnificat, Brandenburg Concerto 2, maybe Neruda or Hummel at a pinch. Vivaldi, Telimann...

Hey great job. You obviously know what you are doing and I think that you did this song great justice. The only thing I noticed is that sometimes it seemed like the runs/cadenzas were played to fast. And I think it has nothing to do with you. I've noticed when I try to play this on a strad. The valves respond almost to fast. If you ever feel so inclined try playing it on a different horn if you feel so inclined.

I mean I wouldn't mess with it much cuz it's very good. But I played this on a holton and the song almost played its self.

heyy dude is this the actual speed? i dunno how fast to take it.
sexyhamster06302 4 years ago
yeh that's around standard performance speed., or at least within given tolerances of standard performance speed. If you want to hear fast, go listen to Wynton Masalis play it, anything faster than that would be rediculous imo. I'd consider mine in roughly the sweetspot for speed, with a little slower not neccicarily bad.

Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on being Baching Mad on Classical Music Composer trading cards (issued in 1912): Haydn, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and many more included.

Onsets are too loud , too weight too large. But the whole performmance is quite good. listen to Maurice André. I am a singer and we have the same problems. But congratulations that's not easy to play.

I prefer a more staccato approach to the fast passages but ive always liked a nice crisp articulation, I'm also more of a jazz player so >.> great work only constructive critisism I can give is watch your high stuff, to keep it at the same level as your mid range stuff, which is superb. gratz.

do you guys know eachother? because that last part was not called for.

May I know what is wrong wiht the pianist? ie, where exactly does he go wrong? he sounds perfectly fine to me, except for a few little slips near the beginning.
HughLow2 4 years ago
Im guessing the few slips, and maybe styalistic interpretation which was more 'showy' and less Classical. However my own performance of the 3rd movement was also along that vein anyway, so it fit. This piece actually replaced my Shostakovich Piano Concerto 1 at short notice due to an issue with another pianist.
musicalaviator 4 years ago
I enjoyed your performance. No way would I offer a criticism, as I am completely unqualified. I'm assuming that you received your degree. Congratulations! And pay no attention to that pissant who called you fat. We fat guys are some of the best people!

um work on some of the high notes it sounds like you are squeezing for them and then it doesnt sound like it should i think your forgetting a few of the slurs but make your finger work a bit better and why dont you even put in a cadenza thats what makes you different from everyone else but i dont know my main suggestion is just work on it and get a better pianist thats it

It sounds good but your phrasing could possibly use some work.And yea the pianist isn't that hot
hothulk486 4 years ago
keep cool man,
that was my propose to do it.
i understand classic music in a different way than he does. i did not want to give a bad critical comment but a construtiv one.
stefanxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 4 years ago
you did not play it enough classical....sorry but practise your phrasing. i do not say that a would do it better, this comment shall just be an advise
stefanxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 4 years ago
This comment should be disregarded... As a musician I can say that is never right to criticize someone's interpretation.. Each person is going to play the same piece in a different way. And that's the way it should be.
Airman410 4 years ago
great playing! i wish i could play like that =P im actually only 16 and i have to do this piece for my highschool project on a Bb Trumpet and i was wondering if u got any tips to playing it =P i havent exactly looked at it yet but yeah!

Your sounds is a little airy. Mouthpiece?
Work on your double tongue a little more; your "ku" (or "ka," whichever you use) sounds a little weak.
Nice performance though.

Sounds like you were struggling a little bit on this piece. either that or your mouthpiece was too big. just sounded a bit too airy...you know what i mean....

nice work man...I do also think that the mouthpiece may have been a little big for you...the high notes are all quite sharp...keep on using that air!
Still...I give you 5 stars
tromba25 5 years ago
Hey musicalaviator, well played! Your sound has really improved since I last heard you. You must be doing good things in melbourne! Keep up the good work.
Shmitee 5 years ago
Man nice as performance! You are an amazing player, but it does sound like the mouthpiece you're playing on is wayyy to big!
lukecahir 5 years ago
Woah really good effort - especially with the mordents: they were all really nice and smooth - well done!
Can I ask how you were tonguing the semiquavers in the main recurring theme? MY computer doesn't have the best sound quality. Were you slurring some and tonguing the rest?
Also, strange question, but what mouthpiece were you using?
I thought that it was a really good performance - you should be really proud!
hardyhardnut 5 years ago
Semiquavers were generally first two slurred last two tounged.
Mouthpiece was a Bach 2 (no letter, just 2) on Bach Eb trumpet.

could you tell me how you did in the exam. i played this concerto for my rcm grade 8 .luckily the examiner did not need me to play the whole piece as my lip was about to go to jelly. cadenza was excellent by the way.

yeh I got a Distinction for it, - along with the Neruda and the Quiet City. Neruda is up but unfortunatley Video ran out in Quiet City. I have audio only though which I have set to my Holiday video shot at the 12 Apostles Rock formations in Victoria. Same Recital. Next Recital will be Shostakovich Piano Concerto and *something else*.
