    I’m a High school sophomore and I’ve been playing the euphonium for about 5 years now and you have shocked me with how well you played that and how well you articulated those notes. You are truly a talented player and I hope to be like you sometime in the future

      Also a sophomore lol. I got some pretty good accomplishments under my belt and sometimes think I’m as good as I can be. This video shows me how much better you can be. Insane runs and super notes are just crazy to me at this point. Hopefully I can reach this level soon🙏

    I listened to this arrangement more than 20 times by now, just to be able to grasp every detail of it. As a brass player myself, i don't want to use the word talent here, as it would be an insult to the sheer determination and training you put in to reaching THAT level. The clockwork like precision while playing the fast passages, every movement you and your instrument make has purpose and nothing is random, the movement through the registers and you deliver the slow passages with such clarity, that is virtuous playing, i knew i was in for a ride hearing that jump at bar 20. Thank you so much for letting us witness this brilliant piece and playing

    I haven't played the euphonium/baritone in 15 years, but I love listening to your uploads. As much as I would love to pick it up again, I have far too many commitments, but it is so wonderful being able to listen to someone as talented as yourself. I played for almost ten years in concert and marching. It brings me great warmth and nostalgia hearing such a mastery of what I aspired to be in my younger days. Learning to read music is something I will always hold near to my heart and taught me such an appreciation for the nonverbal language. Thank you for sharing!

      As a former legit Euph player the hidden key is to just let it go - become part of the instrument and music - now obviously to get there you need practice - but "how to practice" - find a solo or two that is about 2 steps AHEAD of your current skill level - then just go at it measure by measure - master it - by challenging yourself to something legit difficult you will accelerate your growth - then continue on that path as long as you desire

      Can see your point there, maybe not so much in harmony but in use of technique and wild rhythmical figure :) Glad you enjoyed it Jakob!

    The groove reminds me of "Fly or Die". B.T.bone solo. I love this so much.

    This is living proof why the euphonium is the best instrument in the world.
    Edit: any low brass sounds good. 😊

    Fast schon zu perfekt gespielt um nicht zu glauben, dass da nicht Autotune mit am Werk war.
    Und selbst dann Hut ab vor so einer Leistung!!!!

    The euphonium is easily one of the most difficult instruments to learn and master because of its versatility. There is no wind instrument that compares to the demanding efforts of the euphonium. I mean listen. The range and dexterity sounds insane compared to most other wind instruments.

    Having pl;ayed the euphonium myself, I have no doubt I could have played this given maybe a couple of decades.

    I'm getting some serious "Fly or Die" vibes, both solos are in the same key and have similar patterns. 😁 I would even go as far as saying Fly or Die was probably an inspiration for writing King's Gambit.
