YTSO, First Day of Rehearsal Vlog, with Manufactured Controversies by Jeremy Denk

Here, I sort of pretend to be a journalist and hang about the rehearsals of the YTSO and conduct all sorts of "interviews." I find the smiling-est stand of the orchestra; I discuss Dutch dullness with the Dutch; I attempt to provoke a small controversy about doublings between flute and harp; and in general make a fool of myself. Meanwhile, I am enjoying the whole chaotic YouTubish spectacle of this orchestra, in a sense, being born.

Berlioz: Marche hongroise; otherwise known as Rakoczy March, I think (but don't quote me on that!)

Jeremy, if I had known you were so HYSTERICAL I would have made a point to hang out with you more in NYC...oh wait, I was in rehearsals all day, no time for hanging out! So let's do a virtual music collaboration! Send me a message. Bye,

Nina - flute from YTSO

Hey Jeremy, I'm in the finals for this year's YTSO. I made a video describing my experience so far but I figured that for vlogging advice I would go to the master. Got any tips for me?

I agree with a lot of comments below me! haha I think that they have said it all for me. lol It's like they read my mind.

Haha, so hilarious, Jeremy! Great to see that you had a fun time vlogging -- and I LOVE the way that girl bass player talked to you "dude" :) I'm pretty sure you know a thing or two about the difference between Berlioz and Wagner, lol! Anyways, hope to see more videos from you and more awesome music next time you play with Joshua Bell!

It's an arrangement of Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #15 (Rakoczy March), which was originally for piano. The conductor said 'let's play this Berlioz thing', so I'm guessing Berlioz arranged it.
