ADVICE!: LISTEN TO A RECORDING!!! THIS IS NOT 60 TEMPO... THIS IS ABOUT 40!!!

@ClassicalMusician1

I am disappointed by the immaturity of your comments. You strike me as whiny and unjustifiably arrogant. YouTube gives you a chance to converse with serious saxophonists across the world, but you've chosen to sling insults instead. Pending an apology I will happily share thoughts on interpretation and offer tips on cleaning up your technique. I would seriously like to know how you prepared for your performance and what makes you think you are a prodigy.

Why did the judge cut you off at the end?

[chrisklerkx]

@saxinjax0730 The room was already quite behind schedule and we still had scales and sight reading to do. If the solo is over five minutes then the judge is free to stop the soloist.

Is that a selmer or a yamaha?

[chrisklerkx]

@icehawk1223

Selmer Series III.

that judge is a dick.. even if theyre allowed to stop you.. id hate to be stopped in the middle of a performance.. let alone in the middle of playing the final 2 minutes of a very difficult piece that i would have spent months preparing.

[XdarkdomainX]

@MrHooper411 well just play everything about 20 paces slower.. and put emphasis on the beginning of slurred groups.. and if it helps just write in that all the Cb's and Gb's are just B's and F#'s

[shysaxguy]

@ClassicalMusician1 that was close enough :P

[shysaxguy]

@chrisklerkx I thought that was beautiful, dont let these people get to you

[OliverDuarte88]

very good this is a very hard piece, where are you playing by the way ?

[MrHooper411]

Well I'm not here to make insults. they never help anyone. However, I would like to know how you practice it. I have the music at home and practicing it is tiresome taking it one note at a time, especially with the Cb and Gb and other notes I'm not used to. Please help. Advice for both movements would be nice

[BeBattey]

Intonality got a little less stable when you started the sixteenth notes, accompanist a little out of time at times, though it might be intended.

Maybe some more pushing and pulling dynamically through phrases?

Your articulation destroyed mine when I played it though.

The time during the A and Bb where it gets quieter and slower was very nice.

Intonality was almost consistently off on the C#'s (understandably >,>)

I could say more, but I'm nitpicky! It was great. How'd you place?

[luisitosax]

Nice Tone. Piano is really out of tune.
