On flute, once you get to a higher level of skill it really does become the slow stuff that becomes the hardest. Regardless of whether or not fast and complex scales and patterns are easy, the fact is most composers give all of that to primarily the flutes. Flutes are the "shimmer on top," which basically equates to tons of very fast scales and patterns played usually as at least 16th notes or faster. So fast stuff becomes not all that hard unless it's also hard for another reason. Because your air doesn't go directly into the instrument the way it does on most wind instruments, it takes a ton of air and breath control to play long, drawn out passages and long notes, especially with so much volume and so much of a change in dynamics. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean that all that fast stuff is easy. It's just been beaten into us so much by every composer and ensemble ever that it becomes less difficult than a number of other things very quickly.

^ This. Give me a run requiring double tonging over anything with super long drawn out phrases. What people don’t realize about flute it that you are basically playing a highly engineered soda bottle. Trying to maintain constant pitch and tone quality over very long phrases is actually in many ways much harder than the stuff that sounds virtuosic to non-flautists. As an example, if I need something easy that I can play well without practice or warmup off the top of my head not having played it for years, I’ll probably do a variation on Carnival of Venice that involves tossing in a bunch of fast (but easy) octave jumps or if I’m feeling a bit more ambitious, arpeggios. Impresses all the non-flautists. If I need to convince someone who actually plays flute that I really do play proficiently I’ll probably first play some quick scales, to get the flute warm enough that it doesn’t sound like crap (they’ll wait ‘cause they get it) and then do Dance of the Blessed Spirits. There’s lots of harder stuff out there than either of those pieces for sure, but the point is that even among the “back pocket repertoire” the easier sounding piece is actually sometimes harder to do well because flute is weird like that.

Personally, I disagree with this. I've got great lungs so breathing and keeping tones aren't very difficult for me. But I had to quit playing after 7 years because my hands got exponentially worse and worse with each year. In the end, it was nearly impossible to play 32nd notes at 240 bpm, but I tried my best to play them anyways. I really shined with the drawn out phrases, and I was the only one who carried those parts. It made me feel like I was still useful to our concerts. I greatly miss being able to play music. I didn't realize how passionate I was until one day I realized I would have to sell my flute, since I can't play it anymore. Even holding it hurts my wrists. Seeing prodigies being able to play fast notes makes me really happy, because they reached something I was forced not to do. I will always appreciate the "shimmer on top". I'd give anything to be able to be that again.

TRUE! im only and intermediate flute player but i used to play game with some mates where they would have to guess which songs are in a higher grade. They would all pick the fast paced songs because they sound more 'complicated'. for me long notes feel harder to maintain in terms of sound quality and slower songs feel more intentional and sound terrible if i mess up xD in a couple of years im sure this perspective may change tho.

I play the harmonica (both diatonic and chromatic) and I have to say the Paganini of our world is Howard Levy. The guy invented overblows and overdraws, which unlocked all the potential of the instrument. Imagine half the violins notes were locked out and one guy came along and figured out how to use all of them in the span of a few years, that’s what Howard Levy did.

As a bassist, that last one literally TERRIFIES me. The shifting alone and playing that high is a pain, but that good of intunation at the same time is pure godliness.

I actually saw Øystein Baadsvik (the tuba player) in concert once - he was a guest soloist at a small, local concert. I think the piece you watched in this clip showcases a few cool and unique techniques, but not so much his real skill and musicality. When I saw him, he told a story of how the producers of the TV show House M.D. once came across a clip of him playing a solo, and were so inspired by it that they based part of an episode on it!

Hey! I’m a flute player that’s playing Syrinx for an upcoming audition, and I’d like to share a little more information about the piece Syrinx is not a piece that is extremely difficult, the person you watched perform was Emanuel Pahud, who is arguably the best flute player in the world. He takes Syrinx and injects it with steroids to make it sound like that. The piece itself really slow and lyrical, and Debussy intended for flute players to take the tempo and stretch it like taffy, to make some of the runs faster and slower. Most serious flute players have played this piece because of how lyrical it is, and how popular it is with audiences. It’s really a benchmark of your ability to take a piece of music and mold it into your style and preferences.

@Klara_S.

Жыл бұрын

Yeah. I've played it on both flute and oboe. If you have good vibrato and time feel, you can make it sound good Not Emanuel Pahud levels of good, but still good

Wind instruments are a whole different beast in terms of technicality than string instruments, simply because there are so many sounds you can produce with your breathing. For example, most if not all brass instruments can be played polyphonically with at least one octave. In addition, there are mechanical limitations to the construction of the instrument that aren't present in things without physical keys.

The vibrato on the trumpet is not a placebo, actually. By moving his hand like that it actually very slightly changes the pressure of the instrument against his lips changing the pitch. Some trumpets like to do mouth or diaphragm vibrato, but that is another way too.

Alex von Seggern Quite right I must say.

The Tubist actually came to my middle school and played for all the musican students. (Our music director was also the director for a local community band that the Tubist was guest soloist for at the time.) We got to come out of class and everything. He explained how he learned to sing while playing his tube and urged us to keep playing our instruments. After he finished there were so many students who came up and asked him to sign their music folders, and our music director told us afterwards that he (Baadsvik) was not used to being treated like a celebrity.

I would argue that the “Paganini of Flute” would be J.J. Quantz because of how much technical repertoire he composed. Over 300 Concertos, lots of Caprici and Sonatas that require incredible technique.

@@2NiceyAckerman a trick my old band director taught me, as he was a trombone player, is to sit for a little bit and just sit on open valves, low c g c e, and just practice for a while slightly tightening youf lips until you hit that next note. And then hold it for as long as you can. It will help with 2 things. 1 it will help with breath control and 2, it will help you build that muscle memory of how tight you embouchure should be. Another trick i learned is to sit with just your mouthpiece and just go up and down the scale. It should end up sounding like a really bad siren. Progressing further, you can eventually get to where you cut off your breath between notes. When doing that, try to work on the breath cutoff using the throat. Its more efficient and the tongue method will typically staccato your notes. But by far my biggest tip is just practice using just your mouthpiece. Typically i will warm up for a few minutes doing that as well.

I'm also a flute player and sustaining that note with that dynamic for 6 bars is very hard, and catstuffies tran is right half the air is lost everytime a flute player plays. I've attempted to play sphynx, and I definitely can say that there is a struggle with sustaining a long note like that. It's all about keeping the air flowing through the tone hole as best you can. I do wish that I could circular breath, but unfortunately flutes don't get the luxury.

For harp, it's absolutely Anneleen Lenaerts. Watching her perform and getting masterclasses from her is amazing. She's one of those who are the best musicians but also great teachers

I’m a professional classically trained singer and I played wind - clarinet, oboe, flute and saxophone - I can tell you that although I’m carrying some baby weight I have a rock hard diaphragm! Breathing and breath control is flipping diabolical! Wonderful video guys 🎼

personally, as a clarinetist, the closest analogy to paganini was hermstedd. He had 4 concertos written for him by spohr, at a time when the clarinet was newly invented. Normally, pieces are written for the instrument with the instrument's limitations in mind. However, spohr did not do this. Consequently, hermstedt had to invent techniques to be able to play the concertos. Hermstedt was also famous for his virtuosity, which you noted that the stravinsky pieces, while technical, lack.

This is so true!

The technical side for the clarinet piece is solely based on the fact that there are so many octave breaks, in my opinion. It’s incredibly hard to keep your sound clear and consistent when you are going through them, especially from treble clef mid-staff A to mid-staff C. That transition is known to be a hard break to clear because you go from essentially 0 fingers on the clarinet to ALL fingers on AND you’re going up in pitch, not down. Your air suddenly has a much longer way to travel to make the appropriate sound, so it often breaks and squeaks, especially at the speed that he was playing. It’s a lot easier to clear the break when traveling down the scale than up it.

Dylan Reed I know, I was just explaining the technical side of the piece. I agree that the piece isn’t very musically.... verbose? as the others.

If you want something that sounds more virtuosic on clarinet, I would suggest Cavallini (who was called the Paganini of the clarinet in his lifetime), specifically the Adagio e Tarantella. It's not too demanding technically, but it sounds impressive as hell. Then there's also the Nielsen concerto, which in my humble opinion is probably the hardest piece on clarinet ever.

I heard my conducter who also was my trumpet teacher play the trumpet paganini in a practice room at my school and i was in awe of that incredible feat

That double base piece was so soothing to listen to. It's awesome.

The difficulty in the clarinet piece is the range of octaves covered in just a few bars. Everyone knows of the clarinet squeaks in all the starter bands and intermediate bands and usually it is caused by jumping between octaves, even by one, let alone 3 or 4 😂 It takes years to train your embouchure and breath control to reduce or eliminate these squeaks so literally any piece like the one that boy played is mind blowing to a clarinetist 🙌

As a clarinet player, i can confirm that its one of the easier woodwinds to play because most of the notes can be changed to be really high or really low with just a singular key change.

Allen Vizzutti wrote his parody on Jean-Baptiste Arban's Carnival of Venice for Trumpet, called "Carnival of Venus." It's purposefully indulgent and more like comedy. The original piece by Arban is really the trumpet's Paganini, but still an etude of sorts. The concerto that's probably most like a trumpet's Paganini is the Arutunian, but it's not so much about sustained speed.
