Andante et Allegro- Barat (Lent)

The first half of Barat's Andante et Allegro. A few things you should know-
- I am well aware that I TOTALLY butchered the high notes, tell me something I don't know.
- I skipped alot of the rests.
- I pulled this out of my folder earlier today, and I haven't played it in five months. I think it went well for just having practiced it for about half an hour.
This time, I played on my relatively new Getzen 3047AF Custom trombone, which I've had for about 2 months, with a Getzen 6 1/2 AL mouthpiece.
Any critique is welcomed, I'm sure I need it.

I got it off ebay, for $1650. It was slightly used for 3 years when I bought it.

This is my sixth year playing trombone.

@AlexSeesYou

i have never met someone who uses a 3g, a 61/2 is fine whatever you like is what you use

i use a 5g and a wick 2, which is what i like but not eveyone is like you

[magicman123541]

can you take a picture of the sheet music and send it to me in a private message? I need it for band:) Thx.....

[AlexSeesYou]

Wait, wait, wait... You've been playing for 6 years, and you still use a 6 1/2 AL? I've been playing for 4 years and I play on a large bore 5G. I strongly reccomend you change your mouthpeice to at least a 3G.

A faster slide and adequate breathing will help you tremendously. Work on your high notes - make them as free flowing as possible. Lip slurs and just shooting and carrying out you highest note as a long tone everyday will help you improve. Watch your slide positions too, your pitch seems to be off quite a few times.

PLEASE change your mouthpiece. i absolutely despise 61/2s.

[RAveN8381]

On your slurred staccatos, don't fully tongue them - put your tongue about halfway up to the roof of your mouth instead, just denting the airstream. Also, for the high notes, try shaping the piece a bit more to the high notes - it will make it easier if you crescendo to them and it will sound more musical. You also may want to look into a Schilke 57 (makes your low notes less gravelly and lets you put more air through.).

@FixedLensProductions I have the Carl Lenthe recording from his album "Windows"

Awesome stuff, message me if you want it

@Glanerd for such a well known solo, this song should be easy to find, but it isn't. I never found a professional level recording to learn from. If you find something, please tell me!
