  • We're playing this in band right now :D This song is not hard though, I don't know what everyone else it talking about. Just takes practice if so c(;

    1st clarinet love♥

  • The clarinets sound lovely! We're doing this piece at my school but it doesn't sound half as good as this, or at least not yet. 

  • Not hard to read the notes, but challenging to play with skillful balance!

    Played this in HS in 1970's, again in 2009 with community band; timeless, beautiful literature for wind ensembles.

  • I have no idea what people are talking about. This was such an easy piece.

  • @bonedeath0 That part that goes "1, &, &, & 1?" Yeah, I screwed that up every time, except for three times: to at concerts and one at a band competition. Hehe, I got lucky.

  • @NoahMAngott. My band just got this, and I'm playing snare on it. Also a sophomore. The only tricky part is the rolling patterns, but you're right, the song is relatively easy.

  • the tunning isnt quite right but it's better than what ive heard from many band's

  • its true im in middle school symphonic band, and it's very hard with the trills cause im a clarinet player but were almost done with it!!

  • Played snare on this. To be honest, the song was easy, and I'm a sophomore...
