Students could learn a lot about good technique just from watching you play. A few mundane questions... What edition/publisher of this piece do you have? That's an S 90 mouthpiece, no? What opening? Looks like an Ishimori lig. I see a lot of people playing them these days. What made you choose it?
Thank you for your comment. For this performance, I used the edition by Ted Hegvik. Yes, I use S90-170 (most closed tip opening). I find this mouthpiece to be the most flexible and works well with Yamaha custom saxophones. For the ligature, I am using the ishimori woodstone silver. It gives me consistency throughout different ranges and has a good balance of resonance. Also, it doesn't break! (I used to use Harrison ligatures and they broke every 3months....)
Dear Josh, thank you for your question. In the video, I used YAS-875G/V1GP Neck/S90-170 mouthpiece/Ishimori Woodstone Silver Ligature/D'addario Reserve 3.5. However, I currently use S90-180/Ishimori GP Ligature/D'addario Reserve 3.0+.
Beautiful composition, beautiful tone, virtuosic playing. Love this.
Amazing how good this instrument can sound in the right hands.
You are hand-down the best classical saxophonist out there. Have you ever dabbled in jazz before?
Bravissimo Maestro
Viva Italia

The brilliance of virtuosity! Love this piece, love your play! You are the very best saxophonist of this century! ❤

Amazing tonguing and speed! Can u give me any tips on how to improve sound or tongue faster?
Thanks for your comment! Would you send me an email via my website? I would be happy to share my tips in detail. www.wonkilee.com/contact
Great performance. Some intonation problems with that middle d of yours and the eb. Overall a great feel to the piece.
And the last note...
Almost all middle D’s on saxes are sharp. Sometimes lipping down will make one lose tone quality.
Artistic choice, trust me
