as a bassoon and tuba player i love everything low

[@LudwolfBeethozart1485]

You should make an entire separate video about the Timpani and Beethoven 's use of them in his compositions.

[@andrespinzon8030]

as a percussionist, I absolutely love this idea 🤩🤩🤩. I recently played Beethoven 9 and his use of the timpani is really unlike any other.

[@John-fh8vy]

Also the Planets

[@VV-ks6cw]

Um as a flute player myself, I’m trying my best to hold it together with “we are the least versatile”. We do have piccolo all the way down to a double contrabass flute. We have ways also to change colors if we are really versatile professional players.

2:12 I learned at a concert introduction that the name ,,cor anglais'' actually stems from the french ,,cor anglé'' which would rather mean something along the lines of angled horn which actually does make sense because the thingie at the top (idk my woodwind anatomy being an organist lol) is angled.

[@jkcomposerwolf]

It's actually most likely Anglais as in - Angelic, not angled or English! The reason for the name being that it looked similar to the horns played by angels in a lot of old art. And at the time of its invention, in German (the instrument came from Germany), Angelic and English were the same word. What you say is a theory that was suggested towards the end of the 19th century, but there's no evidence of it, while the former explanation has a fair amount of it.

[@zayne1281]

@@jkcomposerwolf I checked in both the german (my main language) and the english wikipedia and it seems like your right, in the english one it goes more in depth and in the german the ,,angled‘‘ theory is portrayed as being more likely. The concert I attended was dedicated to young people and moderated my some guy who was a moderator of a pop radio channel so I shouldn‘t have trusted him in what he was saying especially after him just finding out on stage that a harp -indeed- had pedals and afterwards asking the harpist whether one could learn how to play it by watching youtube tutorials xD He probably just prepared for the moderation by reading the faulty wikipedia article.

Oboe solo at the start:
Tchaikovsky symphony 4
Movement 3

[@Sploinky_doinky]

Clarinet is probably my favorite woodwind instrument

[@phillybhatesme]

Watched the first two, liked both. Subbed after this one. On to brass, thanks for this series!

[@picante28]

[@phoneminlwin5160]

Great Content!

[@shve2006]

Amazing content 🔥✨

[@Birbeniho]

[@tahabirben8649]

thank you

[@Tylervrooman]

The man at 3:20 is Anthony Parthner. He's an amazing conductor.

[@BetaAxolotl]

4:25 is so true... cant tell you how many times people have asked me what the hell a double bass is

[@martineyles]

1:08 There's horns here too. We seem to get put in with woodwind a fair bit. Thankfully we get our chance to shine in the trio very shortly after this!

[@user-mc9cp3dz6n]

I love your videos
And I love this video about the woodwind instruments.
I know his not a full member in the orchestra but he is a woodwind instrument (and a couple of composers write for this instrument)
Maybe explain about the saxophone.....

[@onewhogetsbread9975]

Handel did write for the clarinet, so did other baroque composers like Vivaldi
It wasn't the true modern clarinet, it was just a Chalumeau

[@absaelmaldonado297]

As a violinist you never mentioned harp or when piana and harpsichord are needed. They are a bit similar but you cant tell me that the Cello and Double bass section sound really different to the 1st and 2nd violins. However viola...

[@castironpanarchy]

What was the name of this piece? 3:25

[@146sst]

brahms - variations on a theme by haydn

[@dtw_XD]

its from ua-cam.com/video/KEt1Mm8sSkA/v-deo.html

[@Eroica_Under_God.15.18]

2:50 Piece Name 💀

[@WTT1978]

I always thought of the Bassoon to be a bass obeo

[@jkcomposerwolf]

There's actually a bass oboe (as well as the Heckelphone which is a type of bass oboe), which for example Holst used in The Planets. Sounds similar to bassoon, but has a distinctive quality of its own.

[@martineyles]

Only come across one Bass Oboist in the local amateur orchestra scene. Any time 1 of a dozen orchestras plays The Planets, the same player is always there. It's nice to be in demand.

[@swtchs.]

😢

[@hoangkimviet8545]

Flautino, piccolo, oboe d’amore etc left the chat.

[@virtuousvibes2852]

Don't forget the contrabassoon and bass clarinet. A little sad that they're on the underrated side...

[@martineyles]

Eb clarinet. While it can sound great, along with the picollo it has the ability to deafen the player who sits in the wrong seat.
