Agreed. A lot of recordings do that and I don’t like it

Then you try it if you’re so picky you wetwipe.

I feel like that’s not even something practice. I’d need to sell my soul to the devil to do that

@@SaxandRelax Ay good news! After 7 months I can finally do it! Every note from G to D I can hit basically every time just like normal notes. The E is gonna take some more work. Funnily enough I usually have most trouble with Altissimo G though.

@@Cashimatbro altissimo G is like impossible for no reason, G# is fine, G I always leak

Amen

same brutha, idk if youve played it yet but goodluck

Very similar

@@WeiMusicProductions ...SO similar, it seems he just copied Poulenc's musical ideas....

ain’t readin ALLAT but we 🆙😭😭💀💀🙏🙏⁉️⁉️🗣️🗣️🐿️🐿️💯💯💈💈💈

People like you ruin music for me. Music is supposed to make you feel something, and this very well did that. Stop thinking about it so much so what if it’s “impractical” music in a whole is impractical. Let music be a creative outlet!!!

I don’t agree, if you want a piece with more musicality which by that I assume you would be meaning Lyricalness with beautiful phrasing, then this isn’t the piece you are looking for. This peace is a technical piece, it’s meant to be fast paced with difficult rhythms not for any other reason than to show off the performer. They are called concertos. Why does saxophone have so many unmusical technical pieces? Well that’s because there aren’t many in general, and back when tons were being made because of Mule and Rascher, they were trying to show people what the saxophone could do. While there are parts with more musicality like 2:13 in which the player uses less vibrato, and better phrasing, I will say, a vibrato like his is needed for a solo work. I can assure you, were this to not be a solo work, but just a piece with saxophone, Otis Murphy would be able to blend very well with tone and vibrato! As well as I’d like to mention there are many different types of vibrato. If you think this guy has too much constant speedy vibrato, you should check out a recording of Marcel Mule, and find it can get worse (debatable on if it’s worse but based on your description of a bad one, it would be worse for you). Usually these many different types of vibrato are used in different countries, sometimes it can get to a point of war when it comes to how a Saxophones vibrato should sound classically. I think it’s used fine here. The 5:03 part is a lyrical part with altissimo in which I will tell you that it doesn’t matter. Sigurd Rascher once explained why Concertino Da Camera had a bunch of altissimo, and he said not for showing off reasons but rather that Ibert knew Rashcer could play 4 octaves, and just wanted the freedom of the extra notes. The composer of this piece wanted to use more of the saxophones range and probably felt limited. I was more surprised at the fact that he still had musicality through vibrato and phrasing while doing the altissimo than just the fact that he did it. Mistakes will happen, this is clipped from a live performance.

Well its your opinion that doesn't agree, factually it seems you do agree. It seems your answer to my 'Why?' is 'To show off'. I don't think that is a valid reason for artistic expression. Therefore as I said, while I admire the virtuosity I cannot take the artistic aspect of this seriously. Yes, Mule sounds horrible. And has left a legacy of horrible playing that no one seems to question. (He also would not accept altissimo playing). Music is nothing, if it is merely technical. Of course Ibert would say that, and Rascher would endorse it. They'd look silly if they had said otherwise. But its not about 'a bunch of altissimo'. Its about how it is used, what purpose (apart from showing off) does it serve. Concertos may have historically been used for that purpose, but it is not their sole purpose. Technical virtuosity is only meaningful when combined with artistic expression. Artistic expression might be defined as communicating with the audience on an emotional level. It seems to me that a lot of classical saxophone playing seems devoid of this.@@Cashimat

There are various different schools of sound within the classical saxophone canon. Otis Murphy does tend to have a very fast vibrato. It’s just how he plays, I don’t think it takes away from his skill or musicality. I do agree that there was much less musicality in this piece than most classical repertoire, but I don’t think that was the point. I get the whole questioning the purpose of music if it’s just for technicality’s sake, but I think the entire piece was written to show off the technical ability of the saxophone. While it may not be the most noble reason, it’s a reason nonetheless. Kenneth Tse has a very good recording of this piece if you want another.

it's an excellent piece but i mean there are much, much harder ones. I could learn this for all-county auditions in about 2 months. I've been working on the Maslanka Sonata and Yoshimatsu's Cyberbird Concerto for years and still can't always play them clearly.

Soulful stuff

For real

Logic Pro X with a mix of high-quality sound libraries and live recording.

Play overtone scales, major scales using only overtones

@@peterburkholder4264 My teacher made me play the whole first half of the Bozza Aria with overtones (I am not okay)

@imender9219 That sounds sweet actually going to try that today

Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.

Certified Also the reason I was a band nerd and learned altissimo in middle school. Now ima be a band director
