Trumpet Solo -- Arutunian Trumpet Concerto Cadenza part 1

Recorded on home webcam. First half of Timofei Dokschitzer's cadenza for the Arutunian Trumpet Concerto. The second half is in a separate video. For the trumpet players out there, I'm playing a Yamaha Artists NY Bb trumpet with a Monette Prana STC-1 B1-5M mouthpiece. Drop me a comment please if you have any thoughts. Please see my other trumpet videos, including part 2 of this cadenza here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_a1bdmv-a8 Thanks!

the rhythm of this cadenza has no feel to it.... I know it is a cadenza and free to interpretation but listen to the greats perform this piece and you will see that there is a specific feel to the groups of notes that produce a recognizable melody, your performance sounded like a bunch of random notes and intervals. speeding up and slowing phrases down will help shed light on the melody of the cadenza that was meant to be heard

You know...I think you are absolutely right. Thanks for the insight.

What Make Is The Trumpet It Looks Like A Bach Stradivarious ! but it also looks lyk my yamahah

[trumpetcarguy]

It's a Yamaha 9335NY trumpet. It sounds like a Bach but plays like a Yamaha.

does the diference in mouthpieces change anything? ive been playing trumpet for 4 years. i heard that a mouthpiece can change ur range on the trumpet? is that true? i got a yamaha trumpet. so far my range is the low f# - high high d flat. the one above the staff. i had to play it in pirates of the carribean. so dam hard. especially since im only in middle school.

[trumpetcarguy]

Yes and no. If the mouthpiece is much too large or much too small, it will make a significant difference, but usually range just comes with practice and good use of air (take a BIG breath before you play, but stay relaxed). The mouthpiece will mostly affect the sound quality, not how high or low you can actually play.

Hah, excellent!  I love how you emulated Dokschitzer's insane vibrato too. My teacher is a huge fan of him. Good stuff :)

[Drworm89]

I think it sounded good. Some of the commenters don't seem to realize that your tone is altered by the low quality (no offense to you) mic. It's obviously not meant for anything else but for chatting into. Notice I didn't say singing.

@JWMussiicc the guy asked for useful comments dipshit. at least the guy is learning real solos unlike that pablo and the bull piece of crap

[JWMussiicc]

@headslo let's see your vids then...oh wait

[heypepper]

One thing i'd be careful of, especially in the beginning of the cadenza with the 2 runs going up to the B natural then Bb, on the last note of those runs, you decrescendo a bit which i find very nice but I notice that as your volume decreases your pitch increases a little. The first time it's VERY noticeable so keep an ear out that the pitch doesn't get too high

[paondamo]

it reminds me of a commercial made by the Velveeta Company!! lol

[lobodeschabetado]

muy bien

[RandumDude22]

I dont know if it is the cam.. but your sounds.. sounds thin?

[jsealey762]

I will say you did a good job but if I could give some constructive criticism.. it sounds like you have too much of a gnarly jazz sound in your mind when you play this piece. To help you center your tone for a more classical, pure sound I would suggest listening to some classical professionals such as philip smith or sergei nakariakov. Good job and good luck!
