I heard this piece this morning, and I thought "Hm. I should suggest this to the Melodica Men! It would be so cool!" Little did I know, you beat me to the punch. Fantastic work as always!
Also, count me subscribed! I expect to see more fantastic works in the future! Thank you so much for this! This is one of my favorite Shostakovich pieces 😊
@@antoniowilliams6505 it's still the same guy. If you look closely at the middle of the frame you can see a very slight difference in the lighting of the two halves of the screen, so they were probably filmed at different times and stitched together in post
I feel if UA-cam categorized your video as music instead of 'comedy', you could a lot more views. Still, your music brings a smile to my face and enjoyment for the ears!
I just don't get how these two brilliant clowns can know by ear, and uniquely arrange, and skillfully play, so many pieces of classical and popular music so well on such bizarre instruments ... plus add on such comedic performance. Beyond comprehension.
This must be one of their early videos, as it does not have their signature amusing costumes and antics. I can't wait till they Tchaikovsky's Fifth, Fourth Movement. If they have Girlfriends, do Bolero!
Dmitri Shostakovich’s five-minute Festive Overture in A major, Op. 96, was written in 1947 to mark the 30th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was not performed however until the 37th anniversary, when Alexander Melik-Pashayev conducted it during a Nov. 6, 1954, concert in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre. (Not to be a smart ass or anything.)
@@justdennis287 Strange, why is it even on a olympic soundtrack then? According to the information on that disc I have it was was played during the olympics? But according to Boosey and Hawkes it was used during the olympics games in Moskow 1980. But you right, it wasnt written to that event though. Was wrong there.
That was super terrific. Impressed with the accuracy but you kinda missed the scale at 2:07/8 where it is a flat instead of natural pitch there (Ab I think). Very entertaining. We play that Overture on my posting; check it out. Thanks for posting!
Fantastic! And unlike the original, no trumpeters were harmed during this recording. :)
Tim Bell relatable
I played first trumpet on this last year, and let me tell you, it was quite some work!
Oh god
@Mark Murphy the 4th one in wind orchestras is even worse, you get to play with the clarinets the whole time!
Simply .... Shostakovich was a genius , he lives every time someone in the world play his music !!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢
The end made me laugh big time. Love it. This is one of my favorite pieces from Shosty.
Calling Shostakovich "Shosty" is now my new favourite thing
That's one crazy ass drum solo at 2:40 !
Harmonie Wevelgem it's a timpami roll ;)
No, it's a crazy ass timpani roll :)
Harmonie Wevelgem it's actually a snare, but I only know that cause I played it in this piece:)
MEE TOOOO!
@@nathanmcdonald462
It’s actually both
You guys are the only reason i purchased a melodica. Danse Macabre for Haloween would be so amazing.
Andre Hiwatig Great idea!
oh my goodness i would love to hear shosty string quartet no. 8
this is BEAUTIFUL by the way
I hope they do that
8 always makes me cry
Shostakovich would be proud.
Two of my favorites back to back - Candide and Festive! These are amazing, thanks for your work!
Whenever I feel low I just watch this video. It's fantastic! Thank you so much!
You just made my Monday with this video.
This is frigging fantastic, and I am reposting for others to enjoy.
Thanks so much for this. :-)
Keep doing this music. Please don't do anything else. I love the orchestral music and band music. Thank you!!!! This channel is absolute gold
Playing this for our end of year MPA as we call it not sure about everyone else but I get the clarinet solo💪
I'm actually discovering classical music I've never heard before through this channel.
Flawless rhythm and dynamics.
We are playing this in our symphonic wind ensemble at my high school. My director pulled this up for my class and we absolutely loved it. Amazing job!
I would LOVE to see Shostakovich's reaction to watching this!!!!
Shosty's anxious non-smiling smile
Great performance ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes. He is the man when it comes to composing epic pieces of music. Side note, he is great to listen to whilst high.
I heard this piece this morning, and I thought "Hm. I should suggest this to the Melodica Men! It would be so cool!"
Little did I know, you beat me to the punch. Fantastic work as always!
The bloke in the white shirt is a scene stealer. The bulk of the quality music here is carried by the bloke in the red shirt.
この曲をピアニカでできるのすごい✨
やってみたい
My mom bought one of these for us in '71 we never had that much fun with it! Thanks!
I forgot how much I love this piece...and classical music...until I found your chanel...thank you.
I'm so happy this channel exists! Keep up the awesome work
This is one of my favorite pieces, we played this in my high school wind ensemble my sophomore year.
I can't believe I just found this, this is such a piece of art. Be very proud of this! Really enjoyed your rendition of this piece at 0:25
Also, count me subscribed! I expect to see more fantastic works in the future! Thank you so much for this! This is one of my favorite Shostakovich pieces 😊
You don't happen to know what song this is exactly? Would like to listen to the original. Thanks in advance.
I played this in high school 2011 😊
Played this my junior year in band. I loved it!
Epic ending!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤ BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
They're BOTH amazing!
Amazing!The brass band ver. of that song was sooo hard.
my community band had trouble getting this together and yet here are two guys putting it together on melodicas
1 guy*
Dmitri Shostakovich's No. 2# Waltz is one of my favorites
Blown away! Awesome!
he even shaved!!! haha! amazing.
????
No.
He grew a beard in the time it took to synch the 2nd performance with the 1st.
You guys are awesome. Just want to say you're a huge inspiration for my melodica playing! Greetings from Sweden
This guy is amazing! Great musicality and great fun.
This is one of my favorite pieces! How cute!
すごい肺活量ですね( ﾟдﾟ)リズム感もイイし、素晴らしいです❗
最後のティンパニのトレモロ、やってしまいましたね❗(笑)
聴いていて楽しかったです(≧▽≦)
I think 80% of the people here aren't realising it's the same guy 😂
Hol' up
MaxAmSax I think there twins because one is shaved and the other is not
@@antoniowilliams6505 it's still the same guy. If you look closely at the middle of the frame you can see a very slight difference in the lighting of the two halves of the screen, so they were probably filmed at different times and stitched together in post
It’s prolly the other
YEAH< WHERE"S THE OTHER GUY

This is so catchy! Nice work. I played this in my wind Ensemble last year and my teacher showed this to us the other day on the smart board
祝典序曲！
Great performance! May I recommend Little Fugue in G minor by Bach?
His eyes and brows get me everytime
Absolutely brilliant and original.
Dang, you guys beat me to it! I have thought of playing pieces on a melodica like this. Nice music, by the way.
This is such a happy sounding song!!
OMG I love that!!!!!🎉
Great performance！✨ I'm cheering for you from Japan！😊
Awwww. I just payed this in orchestra. Well done
Great!!
Now Shostakovich symphony 11 fugue of second movement
Bravo! Love this channel.
It's so great, how you've done it but you played only a part of the overture!
Yeah....where's the opening fanfare?
This must be one of their early videos, as it does not have their signature amusing costumes and antics. I can't wait till they Tchaikovsky's Fifth, Fourth Movement. If they have Girlfriends, do Bolero!
Two years later, and these dudes are doing full-on costumes!
Mr. buono out here killing it on UA-cam
Robert LaCava get lit
This is wonderful, now do March Slave and Mercury.
Lol took me a few seconds to realize the blond one was not there but a copy of the brunette instead! That’s too funny!
Semplicemente fantastici!
You need to go on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert
no trumpets were harmed in the making of this, unlike the original.
もう笑うしかねえ...😂

@@Dragontrumpetare Well they probably "used" it for the 1980 Olympics, it just wasn't written for them.
He died in 1975.
あなたたちを見てると元気になる
Amaziing!!! after watch the Rhapsody in blue, i think you could adapt a sinfony! , well... just a movement hahaha
Baccanale?
Fantastic! : )
I LOVE YOU GUYS
Thanks for reminding me I need to practice 😂 ugh this piece is going to be the death of me
5000th view, also great video! You guys inspire me to get my own melodica, hopefully, my parents will agree :)
now do string quartet no. 8
SO GOOD
Santa Clara Vanguard 1985!!!
Impressive!
That was super terrific. Impressed with the accuracy but you kinda missed the scale at 2:07/8 where it is a flat instead of natural pitch there (Ab I think). Very entertaining. We play that Overture on my posting; check it out. Thanks for posting!
FUNNY. I've plaid this a tone of times in orchestra and never knew the flute and pic part sounded like that. hahahaha
Do Preludes and Fugues or any of his serious works next...
my orchestra is playing this, and I kept imagining the cymbal crashes towards the end
What Fun!
Just gonna skip the snare drum solo? I see how it is. Lol jk ;)
