It is a silver plated yellow brass hand hammered 103 buit in 2009

[@counterpoints_]

He talked about something so fundamental about all of Mozart's works -- simplicity, and just play at the correct tempo and everything else will take care of itself.

[@laceyway4763]

Gu Binan it makes sense that he addressed it though because some players need to be reminded that this peice is simple and elegant there's no need to add notes or speed up the piece to make it challenging because that's not what they are looking for but nonetheless this concerto can be made so much more if you stick to the fundamentals

[@MoTown-qd8fl]

His tone, technique, and attention to detail are amazing.

[@helenamarie4337]

well he plays in the best orchestra of the world, what did you expect?

[@StrikesnGutters2]

[Horn being played]...understatement of the year...

[@Herodotus3]

I've never heard such a perfect and simple explanation of how to approach Mozart's work. Fantastic. No wonder he's in Berliner Philharmonic...and no wonder Berliner was the top choice (and is) for Deutche Grammaphon (my favorite recordings).

[@HaraldReinhart]

The last sen thtence: "...and enjoy the music" really sums it up for me. Stefan makes it all sound so simple and straightforward, and yes, so comprehensible. The way he expresses his thoughts first and then shows the 'right way' shows what a great teacher he is. Thank you so much for a great video!!

[@dartme18]

Nearly everyone has beautiful tone. What I like is that I can hear when he tongues. It may sound heavy in this intimate context, but when he's in the back of a concert hall, it is greatly appreciated!

[@HerrMichaelKohlhaas]

I'm a pianist and still really enjoyed this. He plays so well. What ease and tone he has. Thank you.

[@llleeonnn]

ok

[@musicianfriendly2005]

Silver French Horns are beautiful and the tone quality is always beautiful!

[@Mike-nd6ox]

The best professional sound very very good

[@tbear1206]

He plays so beautifully!

[@BenjaminGessel]

Number one reason most folks don't play Mozart quite right-its simpler/much more straightforward than you think (musically), but you've got to be working on your scales AND lip trills (technically), with a metronome, and with consistent effort AND patience.

[@LeIndyVid]

Is this same person I played Handel's Messiah with a couple years' ago? At the Bellevue Stake Center?

[@BenjaminGessel]

LeIndyVid Oh, most definitely. And yes, I'm trying to guess your name. Maybe this conversation should be moved to messaging. :)

[@davidholloway6950]

4:34 power stance

[@Edwardhh]

Yo😂😂

[@TheKocoka]

That nickel plated 103 is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Waddersssss]

Wonderful advice from a musician who is at the very top of his art!

[@waffle1012]

2:09 that was amazing

[@gagerafer]

What a beautiful sound. I hope I play horn like this one day.

[@vitormusico5545]

Parabéns Stefan Performance perfeita. A melhor Orquestra Filarmônica do mundo. Berlin.

[@mariaamparocatala2506]

El sonido de la trompa,es muy especial,dulce sobre ser un instrumento de metal ,ay trompistas maravillosos ,me encanta escuchar la trompa es genial ,. Para mí es como el chelo instrumento de cuerda,fabuloso también. 🌹🌹

[@CampyOnly]

Thank you for clearing up the mystery of your horn model, Mr. Jezierski :-)

[@randomlibra]

I would sell my body for that french horn, but nobody wants it :( That horn is beautiful!

[@GlynnisHuichihi]

I love this uncle, beautifau tone, clearly voices.

[@warriorscatsstudios]

I wish there was a flute master class it would be really helpful for flutists who enjoy these types of videos

[@llleeonnn]

haha i like this guy's teaching-style. also, i want his horn.

[@delewaldhorn]

Dear Greg! I am using a Brass hand hammered 103 built in 2009, silver plated, and a standard Schilke #29 mouthpiece! SJ

[@fdx183]

Too bad I didn't have this master class back in the days when I was learning to play the horn - 1951....

[@thomasmilitello4902]

such a beautiful tone.. wow :) Great advice thank you!

[@curiouscandour]

Hi Stefan. You said doing this masterclass felt really uncomfortable... would never have guessed, it sounds so good. Brooke

[@yamaho5]

Well, I never cared much for Mozart, but you won me over with your singing tone and control of the fast notes, and even made them musical. Thank you very much. Oklahoma City.

[@waltermendes9561]

Verry good

[@nhaguyanh]

best damn horn i've ever heard

[@ricardoalvarez7281]

Me trae gratos recuerdos de cuando interpretaba tan bello instrumento con ese sonido excepcional.

[@idoruZe]

Hah, watching this video and remembering all the things i did right and wrong with this one. Beautifully presented.

[@stickom]

@shib340 ...and wrog is splendid too, every note is beautiful, simply, Maestro is not able to play other than beutiful, it is just not possible!!!

[@JuanAntonioSimarro]

Thank you very much! wonderfull!

[@CampyOnly]

I believe he uses an Alexander 103, as do his colleagues in the Berlin Phil horn section. He is the only one who uses the nickel 103, however, as far as I can tell. Others use yellow brass 103s.

[@donaldspaulding6973]

So many things NOT to do! It's impossible to do nothing (unless you're in congress). I wish he gave more positive direction.

[@twhndrd2008]

Lol

[@keeperofblades]

Thanks!

[@4evermichelle]

awesome.

[@Tomtrucks7]

Esse cara tem um som perfeito na trompa parabens

[@deymargonzalez1840]

great

[@delewaldhorn]

It is a brass 103 silver plated!

[@delewaldhorn]

@Trompete666 es ist ein Alexander 103 HG Messing versilbert gebaut in 2009 (Alex 103 with a hand -hammered bell,silver plated built 2009.)

[@ProfFeinman]

Interesting that he emphasizes playing it straight. If you heard it in performance you would admire the interpretation.

[@archieonnagan3758]

so useful!!! :) thnx for the info :)

[@El3ctronicGeek]

he may not be the best teacher but my god can he play the french horn

[@berlinphil]

@MD051 Die Kollegen vom LSO wollen noch etwas von dieser Seite beisteuern.

[@Brian.j]

wow amazing everything!!!

[@stickom]

I think it is F horn throughout accept for high "g" and for which he might use thumb T1, we newer know.

[@killstrees]

I wonder why there are subtitles? He was speaking English and I could understand him perfectly.

[@ltglahn]

The adult Adam Sackler.

[@KH2fanatic2010]

can someone please tell me what horn he's playing on? It looks exactly like an alex103 but I don't see the gebr. alex emblem on the throat.

[@delewaldhorn]

Sorry for the late reply! It is a silver plated yellow brass Alexander 103😁

[@AhSageHumor]

Why are there subtitles in English for a presentation that is in English?

[@Wallard21]

It's a double horn ?

[@tobiaslidstromstre2392]

THE ANGRY SNOWFLAKE yes

[@shompy12]

shiny frensh horn is shiny...

[@goodnewzs1]

Can this piece still be performed with "lip trills?"

[@zackerychen6369]

+Teresa Lazzaro I don't think this trills is best. We still need to use lip... Of course, this is my own opinion...

[@rogermwilcox]

On a period instrument, you'd have no choice! Kids these days and their valves and their pogo sticks....

[@delewaldhorn]

Lips trills are good for whole tone trills, but it’s very important that the trill at the end of the exposition is a half step trill from E to F and not E to F sharp. In this case the valve trill is better!

[@philippeherman3048]

it would be more convincing if you show what's written on the score and than you play it like that

[@barryveryallen]

what horn brand it is?

[@rihoyoshino1399]

何語かわからんけどすごい！！

[@user-tv8xy6ye8f]

можно перевод плиз

[@sarahelizabeth8019]

is that a b flat horn or is it an f horn

[@tobiaslidstromstre2392]

Sarah Elizabeth double f horn

[@Trompete666]

Was ist das für ein Horn weis das wer ???

[@user-bk6nc7un2f]

재미있는데좀길다 ㅎㅎ

[@hornplayerOSU]

double horn, the F horn is on top and below that is the Bb horn.

[@user-xn1xe6tt7j]

教え方もうまい

[@qwiklok]

Definitely NOT Sarah Willis. Stick with playing the horn!!!

[@explodingsausage6576]

So stale and boring, Mozart would be horrified.

[@paulusrex321]

Sorry, this dude might be one of the greatest horn players in the world with a very fancy name, and playing with one of the greatest orchestras in the world, but as a teacher and communicator, he will starve, too many dos and don't s. He cannot teach anyone anything, Sarah did it better. Same goes to composers, they are the worse teachers in the world, they cannot express an idea without drowning in a drop of water. I am speaking from personal experience, so do us and the world a favor, if you are not into pedagogy, please don't try to teach. If you're a composer, performer or conductor, but not a pedagogue, please don't try to teach, moreover, don't even attempt to write theory books. Again, I write these lines based on personal experience as a music student.
