  • Beautiful - quite excellent! (It's never fair to compare to the original. IF there had been no MF - how many of us would even try to play those high notes!?)

  • Perfect control in the high notes.

    i agree about romantic style - but this is great. Just a very few can do this with same clear and focused sound.

    Keep on playing all you trumpet folks!

  • Proof that just hitting the notes is not enough. Mangled the lyric nature of the figures in this tune.

  • I give anyone credit for attempting this. He actually does a great job. A thousand times better then I or most could do. A great player for sure. Not really fair to compare to Maynard. He was the only one who could play those notes up there in a romantic way when he was younger. Others can play them, but not romantically.

  • Tofanelli tastelessly mangling another Maynard classic.

  • G r a n d i s s i m o !
