@@ethanhambleton8693 nice bro! Definitely harder on trombone or tuba than it is on euphonium. My director said if I can play Concerto for bass tuba by Ralph Williams this year memorized then he’ll buy the orchestral score for it.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob McChesney at a fantastic brass instrument store in Los Angeles, The Horn Guys. What an extremely nice and down-to-earth person. We talked and played each others horns for at least a few hours (he is the only other person who has ever played my horn). Bob ... if you read this, all I have to say about this performance ... incredible technique and control ... HOLY CRAP!!!
while at an audition i heard someone play this from memory on a baritone and i was blow away. lets just say that he was made first chair and a soloist in the ensemble
@@No-Pressure-Only-Resultssheet music isn’t something you read off of. It’s like a recipe. Play it enough times and you’ll have it by memory. Like bob didn’t with ready this
depends if you're on a 6 1/2 or a 1 1/2. Any good bass trombone player should use a 1 1/2 which actually makes anything in the fifth and upper fourth octave a bit hard to reach. Youll never need that for orchestral or wind music though
Amen to that. Nice arrangement, exceptional tone quality, fantastic technique. A pleasure. And yes, it's making my practice sessions a little.. disappointing!
One of the first trombone solo vids where I don't see a bunch of kids bragging "yeah I played this last year for my middle school concert" because no one that is human can do this and sound so flawless. Thusly Bob McChesney must be cyborg.
Beginning: Okay, easy enough. That run will take a couple of tries, but not a problem. Theme: Even easier than the intro. Variation 1: Whew, took some practice, but I got this. Variation 2: Um, what the hell is this? A-are those 32nd notes? Variation 3: ...Are you even serious? Nope. Variation 4-5: Okay, it's calmed down a little, but I can triple tongue just fine. Variation 6: Okay, this is cool, I'm good with this. Variation 7: AND THEY'RE BACK.... Variation 8: *dies*
I absolutely love how it sounds so easy! Yet........... we, as trombone players, know most trombone players wouldn't stand a chance at such a hard piece.
I wish i knew how good a player Bob McChesney was when i first met him around 5-7 years old. My dad (who plays bass trombone) and I ran into Bob at an audio show for high end speakers. My dad said hi and I drew a picture of cheese for Bob with the caption "Bob McCheeseney" Now im 15 pursuing trombone for a living and in awe that the technical masterpiece this performance is. Someday I wish to meet Mr.McChesney in person! Now with much more awareness for the greatness I'm in the presence of.
*me, 00:40 * Hey, that's not too difficult! I could totally play that! *me, 2:27 * A little challenging, but hey, I could still do that with a little bit of practice! *me, 3:20 * I'd need to practice quite a bit to get this down, but that's the point of a challenge, I guess. *me, 3:30 * WHAT *me, 4:50 * WHY *me, 6:30 * I...... how? -The search for a fun trombone solo continues-
Met with Bob McChesney at a concert for Dixon High School in California not to long ago. He played it live and from memory. Truly amazing. He told us that he practiced for over a year on the piece.
Amazing technique, amazing legato, amazing precision. And it sounds like he's got a really large-bore horn. I've heard one guy come close to this on a baritone horn, but never a trombonist. In awe.
im a senior in high school and learning to play this right. the first page is a joke to play. the first variation takes a bit of practice, breathing is the hardest part of it. the second variation, the hardest part is the positions, and understanding of exactly where you are at all times. im almost to the 3rd variation now.
I'm glad to hear this and see the music. I remember seeing this in Arban and wondering how it would sound. FIrst time I've heard it on a trombone. A friend played it on trumpet at Band Camp very impressively.
When he started tonguing those 32nd notes, I couldn’t even be impressed. I just cringed, because my brain didn’t understand how it was physically possible to do that so cleanly. Superb!
CUANDO ERA ESTUDIANTE DE TROMBON EN LA ESCUELA NACIONAL DE MUSICA EN CUBA YO TOCABA ESTO ..ME DA MUCHO GUSTO ESCUCHARLO OTRA VEZ DESPUES DE TANTOS AÑOS ..EXELENTE EJECUCION ...
+The Otter Gaming Wow. I'll try to get it figured out, I might play this for solo next year. It's just insane that he can have that much control over the sound, continually.
Because music is constantly evolving and so are our artists. Yeah, we could probably do away with a lot of songs we hear now a days, but in all honesty, we don't have all the knowledge of how earlier composers wrote pieces like this. We'd like to think we do, but honestly it's more difficult than it seems.
+James Jenkins Then you'll do just fine (: I've been playing for about 5 years now and I can play the first 3 variations with some very little mistakes here and there, but overall good (:, you just have to work on note accuracy, articulation, tonguing ( double tonguing ), and high upper register. You can work on tuning when you want to and feel comfortable enough to play the first variation and after each variation you learn and can play, tune yourself and play the variations you know. I'd say play the tempo that Bob McChesney is playing at but I'd say about 10-15 beats less? And if you make a mistake it's fine just keep going (: you can fix it later, mark it, make a note of it, and fix it later, also in the video Bob is using a lip trill as he is using a regular tenor trombone, no f attachment, but if you have the f attachment you can use it to trill but if you feel like or think you can do the lip trill you can (: I use f attachment trill, but I'm working on lip trill
He was hardly playing most of the 32nd notes, all he had to do was get close to the pitch and keep a fluent sound and slide. When its that fast, the pitch didn't actually matter as much as the first and last notes. If you listen to one of the fast licks you will notice that he accents the last note and the notes in between you can't really hear.
I've listened to this about 5 times already today and I'm still searching for just the right word. All I can come up with is..aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! Very, very impressive. Bob's technique is flawless. It is great to be living in this digital age. When I grew up playing trombone (70s), there were much fewer opportunities to hear (and learn from) great players. I will begin searching for Bob McChesney recordings. Thanks for posting this.
With the exception of Scherazade where does one need triple and double tonguing in an orchestral setting? Seems like a good piece for a band concert in the park on a summer's night.
He has the most unique tone of any trombonist I've ever heard. It's so controlled it literally sounds like a machine.
No! How could u call him as a machine? Machine is so dead and unlively, he is more like a heaven musician
@@johnlim3357 perfect
Its very machine like, I thought this recording was a midi for my first listen. Im actually not a big fan of the tone

Plays last note on bass trombone.... passes out due to lack of oxygen
tbh the bass trombone in band with me can play higher than that
I play bass trombone and I can go up to a triple high F, being on a bass trombone doesn't make high notes that much harder
Bass trombone gang
Zachary Peterson the mouthpiece does though
depends if you're on a 6 1/2 or a 1 1/2. Any good bass trombone player should use a 1 1/2 which actually makes anything in the fifth and upper fourth octave a bit hard to reach. Youll never need that for orchestral or wind music though

Omar Ortiz right but then again he use hella alternate positions for this
