  • Well done. Why did you pull out the tapping bit? Was it just not working on stage? I'm having a dilemma over the tappy tapping bit in the middle.

  • Sorry to reply so late....

    My professor, Douglas Hill, at UW-Madison, was the horn player that Amram wrote this piece for. Doug told me that he never enjoyed the tapping bit, as it is difficult to pull off and ultimately unnecessary. So... since Doug has Amram's permission to remove it, I bet you do too!

  • what a load of loud honking +_+

  • Not bad. Though there is some potential to do it even better. Don't concentrate so much on "how do i have to play the note i play right now", it should be "what is the next phrase to come and what is the best way to go there". And it is not "how do i have to play this" but "how would i love to listen to this piece, how do i think it is to be played?". Phrases, melodies, calls and responses instead if simply tones.

    Anyway, i couldn't do it better. Have fun!

  • Great job!

    I performed this at my school around the same time as when you uploaded this video. I had a very different interpretation, but I think the piece lends itself to different interpretations. :-D

    I love it.

  • Out of curiosity - do you play jazz, or know anything about the blues?

  • Well done! Thanks for posting this video! I'm doing the Amram "Trombone Alone" and I needed to hear another Amram peice to hear similarities in his work.

    I like the way that you bend the notes to get that bluesey effect!

    Very good performance!
