Me: “How many brass sections do you need?”
Romantic composers: “Yes.”
The last two days I was at two perfomances of my favorite symphonies ever - Mahler 2 and 4 and I'm really grateful that my chair wasn't in the first row at Mahler 2... today I was in the second row with Mahler 4 and that was great because Klaus Mäkelä conducted it and I'm a huge fan of him!
The next video in this series will hopefully mention sleigh bells.
@@martineyles I'm also hoping for the hammer😂
Brass is not always loud. Think...New World Symphony. The brass can actually can be the most harmonic section.
Mahler 2 Brass corale 🎉
These are the best videos about classical music on UA-cam. Your content has reinvigorated my interest in classical music. I love your commentary and your vids are entertaining and make me laugh and smile while relearning all things I had forgotten! TY🙏
4:14 Actually, Mahler did write in the conductor’s score to have the horns stand for that moment.
That being said, completely agree. You wouldn’t notice them if they didn’t stand.
5:26 spot on!
The horn is the best instrument ever!
I completely agree!
The great love of my life.
@@martineylesI agree as well!
Liar
Its really great!
thank you
legend!
Sibelius 2 has PP entries on high notes for trumpet. I know because I was playing it last night. Not all brass parts are loud. In classical works we mainly double the timpani.
The statement that Mozart and Haydn used brass instruments sparingly is actually not entirely true. Indeed they use trumpets sparingly but they use horn almost all the time in their symphonies. In his early symphonies Haydn uses only strings in the slow movements but he uses horns in every other movements. Actually the basic sonority of Mozart and Haydn early and middle symphonies is "strings with horns and oboes". Conductor's fault if the performance puts horns to the background.
no euphoniums :(
Nice video and also entertaining :)
I was trying to figure out the instrument they used later in the song "GODS" (League of Legends, after like 2:00 minutes) and I think after watching this video I heard trumpets :)
Decibal-wise, isn't the tuba the loudest?
My favorite brass instrument apart from the horn is another version of the tuba called….well, the Wagner Tuba (I guess it’s named after Richard Wagner himself)
And played by horn players with horn mouthpieces.
3:13 oh, is that Bowden soloing on Trumpet?!
The trumpets, trombones and tubas may be too loud, but never the horns! I am looking forward to playing that very stand-up section (well the whole of Mahler 1) in a "play day" near Malvern on Saturday.
how does one discern the difference between trombone and horn in sound
Trombones sound sharp, like trumpets, while horns sound more round, like bassoons or flutes.
@@GlaceonStudios ah thats thething, when somewhat louder horns can sound sharp too 😓
The horns sound especially sharp and aggressive in tone when playing hand stopped notes fortissimo (or as close to that as you can play hand stopped), as they do in parts of Mahler Symphony 2.
Right, and trombones can mellowish as well 😅 that’s just brass instruments I guess, being able to sound like each other for no reason @@martineyles
Brass + Woodwind = Saxaphone
Brass clarinet
What about the Cimbasso? 🥴
They forgot about euphoniums. Again.😭
Brass isn't just loud smh
