  • looks like a Selmer

  • deszép klarinéthang, kár hogy saxofonon :-)

  • @royallighting7 Yes, Bornkamp is Dutch, but "French saxophonists" refers to those who play in the French style.

  • @Dr0Truth Bornkamp isn't French. He's Dutch.

  • piano and dr0truth,

    you're both wrong.

    jesus does love you.

  • I did not respond because I do not spend my life on the internet and I have much better things to do with my life, like playing for instance. If you believe you can do better than please post your own video of it.

  • let's let it go. Ease may have been one reason for it, he could have been filling a small time slot, he could have thought that it would fit well in the music.

    I was thinking that he may have only been given enough time for two of the movements, something to that impact. Personally I think the last movement is harder than the other two and if it were for ease he would have chosen the first and second. Mayb I'm wrong.

    Bottom line: we're not ties, we don't know the reason.

  • I'm not saying that he should be punished or something, but he did cut a corner.

  • Seriously, does it really matter whether or not he modified it or made a mistake? It's only music, and while music is great and all, at the end of the day it's just organized sound. Get over it.

  • Dr0Truth, you're way off.

    I asked a user on youtube who they studied with. I am familiar with the Amstel Quartet. On a cd, the audio can be engineered and rerecorded as many times as needed. In a performance when the pressure is on, it would only be logical that he either made a mistake or he changed it for ease. There is no way that he did it for musical purposes. It would get rid of the musical reference to the first movement. The composer knows best as surely he would know.
