I think we had only about 4-5 hours total.

[freshinit]

life is worth living, when you have this noise. it is so lovly

[whalewhalewhale]

it isn't as co-ordinated as it could be, and the tone isn't the best in some sections, but what a difficult piece to undertake! kudos.

[FIERCE10IFY]

This performance of NYC doesn't do the piece justice. Check out the Eastman Saxophone Project! Those guys rocked it!

[dye2nite]

Im curious how many hours this was rehearsed before it was performed. 

[NUMarcellusJr]

the clarinet articulation is terrible.

[jazzersi]

Anyone can hear that, its not overly difficult, provided you are not deaf.

[KindFurryBoy]

though rythmically they are dictated to not play completely simutaniously but playing very slightly off of each other is notice-able by my ear... i can hear people playing tiny fractions of a second apart from each other that couldnt possibly be musical interpretation, only the cause of not practicing enough. also people who name call generally arent greats sources of info

[amistrymister]

then you are a freak if THIS music has changed your life. Its amazing, this music. Not over the top.

[helengidari]

this video really changed my life.not only my life but the way of thinking ,drinking,and especialy walking on the city.i just want to say that this music is o v e r t h e t o p.

[AndycKV]

Over the top, i believe thats a turn of phrase used to describe something exaggerated or blown out of all proportion but i guess a grasp of the english language is necessary to understand this. desiring to kill people because they're performing something you do not like...im pretty sure its self explanatory why that is over the top. why comment if you hate it, and why listen either? just enter jonas brothers or whatever shit you listen to in the search bar and keep your opinions to yourself.
