Don't forget to site the composer Giovanni Bottesini. Del Staigers was the arranger. Bottesini wrote the Opera, and wrote a variation of it for the Double Bass (standup) his instrument. One of the greatest bassist of all time. Good to give credit where credit is due.

Thanks for the info, I've been trying to find out who really wrote the Carnival of Venice.

I enjoyed your video of this. It would have been great if you had zoomed in once in a while, especially the upside down part. Closeups are nice. I am the opposite and tend to overuse the zoom.

I would have zoomed in, but i was using my sony point and shoot and once you start recording it doesnt let you zoom in. I also would have zoomed in to start off but i didn't want the whole thing to be shaky.

HOLY F***

Why would you not want to be trumpet? This is one of the best songs ever written to solo in.

My university brass ensemble (Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts) just had a concert with Allen, and that first cadenza in the Carnival of Venice always gets me weak at the knees. Even better, I have another concert with him in Bunbury (Western Australia) this Sunday. He's now my favourite Yank/Trumpet player.

You're exaggerating when you say per second. Lol

[xhackmasterx]

Allen demonstrated this for us during the band festival at University of Washington. It was pretty cool

[ProKzaine]

in my opinion, the canadian brass (fredrick mills trumpet feature) is better, but allen has him at a lot of other points in playing as well

[Abe27342]

Both the beginning and the part at 4:50 are around 14 notes per second... I actually laughed at how ridiculously insane that is. xDDD

[benteague1]

Well, the best known arrangement is in the Arban Cornet Method, so you're not wrong there :P

[canivalforever]

best in the world

Lol...Look at Arbans compared to Allens other, harder version of Carnival. Literally called Carnival Of Venus.

Arbans is so...it's like happy birthday compared to Allens version lol.
