You are so talented! As a flautist, I struggle to make sure I get good breath support to make notes sound good which requires quite a bit of air... But seeing as you can make notes sound so good with an instrument that big is so impressive!👏👏👏
Believe it or not. I used to play the contrabass clarinet. which is roughly similar in size. surprisingly it's not terrible in terms of the air needed.
Oh yeah this is perfect for distracting myself at 1:31AM when I shouldve been sleeping at 12:15AM Your timbre is beautiful my guy!! Thx for sharing this!!!
It is amazing being able to listen to this beautiful performance! As a violinist who has performed this caprice many times, I'm extremely impressed by your phrasing and your technical skills. Keep up the amazing work!!❤
Love this! ❤ The bassoon, and saxaphone (I use to play it, myself) have such gorgeous guttural, bellowing sound that I also love hearing in the double bass and bass viola da gamba, tuba and lute-harpsichord.
@@bassoonkris I love how the Kronwalt low A contra is so compact. I had an old Mollenhauer low A contra on trial about fifteen years ago and the first thing the trombone section said to me was "you didn't BUY that, did you?!" and the case wouldn't fit in the back of my car. As a contra player (I play a Fox) I am amazed by all of the extra keys and I know that I could figure them out eventually but you navigate them with such ease and assurance!
I can't even begin to overstate how damn impressive this is. Seriously this is a work of art and you deserve so much more recognition for this. Good work Kris!!
I love your take on this, but I am curious: Have you ever listened to a violinist play this? Your interpretation of timing and phrasing is just so different from anything else I’ve heard! As a flutist and violinist I’ve heard many many interpretations so I’m curious! No hate intended I’m just wondering where you drew your inspiration. :)
What the heck did I just listen to? That contrabassoon is a lethal weapon in your hands, sir! As a composer, you basically are taught that the contra is completely incapable of this sort of thing... but here's the counterargument to that! Awesome job!
we got pag caprice 24 on contrabassoon before GTA6
😆
I laughed so hard at the low notes, not because they’re bad but because it sounds so cartoonishly low😭- a cellist
You have a very dangerous video. it may encourage young composers to entrust such passages to the contrabassoon in their works :D
I thought it was the end of the world in the last trill 😂
Congrats for your great playing!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Contra uses less air than you think! Double reeds are unique like that
@@amj.composer Really? That's quite interesting, I thought that since it was so big it would use a ton of air.
Ahhh...the page turn...excuse to catch my breath...😊....I can't even begin to imagine filling that with air like that....

Why is this literally also me rn?

Dude somehow this guy manages to make it sound like a double bass on the low notes! That takes some serious dedication and work, nicely done!
Love the arrangement. Love the performance. Impressive thumb work. Love the space. Nice room!
Simply amazing! What a cute cat :)

Interesting timbre, took me a while to like it, but you sold me on the cool virtuosic etudes in this caprice. Great playing.
This is last video I expected to get in my feed, but damn, was it good lol. Great playing on the contra!
Love how strange it looks the instrument, like something you'd see in a steampunk world!
Wow Amazing!!!!
I'm lucky enough to come across such a great performance 😊
What a beautiful texture! As a Bassoon player I've always wanted to try playing the Contrabassoon, but our district doesn't have one in our schools :(
Awesome stuff!
Wonderful!
Bravo bravissimo
A fabulous surprise🎶👏🎵👏
Is it a low A extended contrabassoon？
Yes this contra has a low A
WoW the A at the end❤😮

Thank you for reminding the people that this instrument doesn’t sound like a fart
Amazing!
truly amazing, expert handling of a very unique intrument ! mind telling us a little about it?
Amazing atonishing 😂❤😅😊
Die Katze ist so nett ❤️💚🧡
これはコントラフォルテですね。素晴らしい演奏です。
thats crazy
Have we just found the ling ling of contrabassoon?
The contrabassoon is a cover, he was actually farting! 😂
He had no girlfriend

pov lactose intolerant ppl
after they eat something remotely has lactic acid in it
@@Yipee566you know, there is a difference between lactose and lactic acid, don't you?
Wow didn’t wake expecting to listen to Pag24 on contrabassoon but what a treat!❤❤
Same here
Interesting: I’ve never seen this particular type of contra before. Rich tone, and well-played!
Wow! The tone is absolutely gorgeous!
I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this must be on contra omg
Wowzers. I don't know how you manage all those thumb keys. I play flute and have 2! Lovely playing.
3:06 this part is just awesome
no. 1:07
that awesome!
"hey hooman... cuddles please- oh dang, you're recording? Aight my bad my bad..."
Beautiful work!! Some of the best and effortless-sounding upper register playing I’ve heard on contra!
Thanks Ryan

God, I’d forgotten how many thumb keys bassoon has…
How much does a Contrabassoon cost? And for one that plays in tune? :-))
One can tell you a great player, the cat hung around.
Es increíble que en ciertos pasajes el sonido suene idéntico al de un violoncello
And cute cat to boot 😊😊😊😊
Wow 👏🏻
I can't believe what I just heard!!! Absolutely amazing!!!
Next video: Dualing Banjos with a contrabassoon-playing friend!
Very nice, now play it on a subcontrabassoon
That’s Richard’s territory
beautiful!
This is so impressive cuz I didn’t think you could play that fast on contra
Thank you for recording and sharing this!

Sounds so goofy ahah
Marvelous!!!
