After being a musician for more than 10 years, being a drum corps memeber and a principal french horn player this is by far my favorite rendition of Adagio. Brass kicks ass!

aye canadian i hear you. I dont get to practice as often as i want. Its hard for me to find the time to pick up my euphonium, between work, family, workouts and daily house chores i have maybe 10-15 min to play. I just need to find the time. Cheers my musician friend...=)

@beak1972 practice. it took me 1 year to get the concept, another year to do it smoothly and a 3rd to make it seamless. im an oboe player, and ive been playing for 3 and a half years.
practice can do amazing things =)

this song sets your emotions running crazy
It is not our lips that are limited, it is our air. Transposing string phrasing to brass is difficult as we have to break the piece in order to renew our air. I am working on Bach's Prelude for instance as a Euphonium player. Im having difficulty finding where to breathe and not ruin the phrase. This was well done by the by, yes could have been slower, but i wont nitpick it.
