Ack...not having a Bb trumpet makes this horrendously difficult to play. I just found the fingerings with a Bb to be much more natural. Good on you for taking the challenge. Considering, you did a great job.
Chris, you are exceptionally talented! But why would you post this Haydn performance on YouTube playing on a "C" trumpet? The trills are clumsy, at best, and the intonation problems with the 3rd space open "c's" and open "e's" are too noticeable to experienced musicians. My recommendation to you would be to record the Haydn on your Schilke E-flat and replace this organ rendition with something you will be proud of and give you an opportunity to share with the public your true God given gifts.
Thanks for posting that video. you have the most beautiful and controlled tone. i am a trumpet player in only my third year and i hope i make it as far as you did. Thank you! you are a real trumpet master.
Nice! I noticed that you tongued some licks where I usually hear it slurred (such as in the main melody -- beats 3&4 of the 3rd bar). Is it written that way in your music, or was that a personal choice? Thanks! Sounds great.
I was also at that service and know damn well he prepared this piece...AND he requested to play this well before the service. I don't understand why he claims that it was "last minute" or "memorized" when both are untrue. Maybe too much pride?
@oilikepepsi What's so hard about memorizing it? I had to memorize all three movements for an audition once. After playing it a few thousand times, it's not exactly "impossible".
Memory? He prepared the piece on C-Trumpet and is clearly reading the music in front of him. If it were memorized... he wouldn't need the music. Why he chose to play it on C is beyond me. I attest though...always more fun transposing anything.
I think my jaw just fell on the floor... I play the trumpet. And some say that I play well... (I think their opinion is a little bias but w/e. ANYHOW the fact that u transposed all of that on the spot, plus not using the horn that u would have preferred... the least i can say is I'm impressed.
"All I had was my C trumpet. While it was a scary experience to play by memory and transposing, I have to admit, it sort-of worked on C trumpet better than I thought it would... besides the trills of course." What are you talking about? Great job! And, would I expect anything less from a Julliard trumpeter? Absolutely not! Nicely done!!!
wow we played together in staten island bands throughout our childhood...i remember you when you were in the 5th grade...always knew you would be amazing...anyway congrats on all your success..

Very good. Great tone and excellent playing. little fubbles on the 1 to 2,3 trills but who cares.... theyre hella hard and for what you had to do to play its understandable. 3:42... we all make mistakes. Still great performance though.
Great tone, good interpretation, and GREAT job transposing! But the one thing that got me is the trills (not the ones where you trill from 1 to 2-3 =)). Your 1 to open trills just felt stale to me. Other than that, fantastic performance, especially considering the circumstances!
u did fine(for a last minute request). shouldnt really worry about the trills :) your lower tones are amazing and your high notes are clean. What a talent.
hey. amazing tone. im playing this peice and i have a problem with keeping the double tonguing smooth in the upper range of the peoce. got any tricks.
I used to play trombone which is a concert pitch instrument. From what I understand, if you were using a Bb trumpet, to get the music to sound in Eb, it would be written in F (a whole step above Eb). Very nice.
wow. all i can say is wow!
you are absolutely amazing.
