THANK YOU SO MUCH! Milton Katims conducting Seattle Symphony Orchestra performing the whole canival for the entire Seattle Public Schools District #1 6th-grade class is what got me really going in this music bizzz. I COULD SEE THE ELEPHANT prancing adjacent to the proscenium with my eyes closed. 58 years ago still can zanx manx

Thank you, Barry Lieberman

What a noble instrument. I'll learn how to play it when I grow up

Lovely

OMG I HADNT REALIZED UNTIL I HEARD IT THAT THE SECOND HALF WAS ODE TO JOY!! I learned it in 7th grade!!

I've learnt the piece on my 6-string bass, where it can be played entirely in the 1st position. But now I see much more beauty in this music and understand that I have a lot of work to do in intonating. The smoothness in that slide Bb-Eb, the delicacy in going up the octave on G are beautiful and educating.

Thanks this video helps, I’ve gotta learn this for my all state audition and I can’t read music well so I appreciate it 👍

Man... the tonal quality of this bass gives me a feeling akin to watching maple syrup from Vermont run down the sides of a stack of fresh sourdough pancakes... thick, syrupy... delicious!

It is very helpful! Thank you Professor! I hope my son can study with you one day 😊

persse

my chamber orchestra got into midwest so i’m using this as an audition 😮‍💨 wish me luck

Fallout led me to the animals…. Although I learned them in orchestral like 11 years before lol fallout made me actually enjoy them.

Great! And awesome recording!

Perfect!!!

where can I find the music for this?

Is it 4/4 size or smaller? It looks enormous.

Hi, this video is worth more than gold for me. I am learning this one right now

What is that 'thing' on the head next to the lower string?

Thanks Master!

Great master class, great master, this is one of my favorites pieces of the orchestral repertoire.

"the reason to live to play this piece" works also as "the reason to live, to play this piece" . Great, comma or not. I love the way you teach, the way you play, Mr. Lieberman.

An orchestral bassist I used to know did a combination of the "D-String" and "G-String" versions. Everything except the last phrase was the former version; I wonder what the strategy or desired effect was?

Truly amazing instrument and playing!

The bassist that influenced Britten’s bass parts was Robert Meyer. Meyer was Britten’s bassist and librarian. He ended up principle bass in the Vancouver Symphony. Meyer joked that you had to be careful warming up as Britten would listen and write it into your part.

I just picked up the violin for the first time in 13 years, and this is the tune I most want to get good enough to play.

What a gorgeous sound. Haydn would be pleased!

Your videos are so, so, so helpful to any bassist. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate the high quality commentary, the closeup shots of the fingerboard and the bow, and the moderate tempo with which you take your demonstrations. It makes working out difficult fingerings far less daunting!

As i’m new to bass, i’m terrified by this. I can barely switch hand positions. His hand is going way too fast for me.
