[@Nathan-cd9zz]

Those who disliked it probably have never played a musical instrument and they dont know what it takes to get to this level of playing

[@gavinreed7214]

Or maybe they disliked because they do know and are jealous

[@edwardbrown3308]

Their loss in life.

[@gamerbeastboy1842]

In order to play like Steven mead you first off you have to have like just CRAZY fast air and be able to show off on the finhers

[@jamesfraser4173]

I have played the euphonium, but not at that level!

[@meddlingamateur5899]

Or maybe... Shock horror, they just don't like the performance?

[@JacksonSnyderPresents]

I am a former player of this instrument. The amount of time and discipline that went into this - not to mention the professionalism - is beyond my comprehension. But I feel sorry for virtuoso Euphonium players now because there seems to be so few orchestral works that score for it. But there's always KZbin.

[@WayneDetzler]

As a lifelong lover of euphonium and a player of the instrument, I am astounded by this performance. The speed and precision of running parts, trills, and especially harmony parts is dazzling.

[@masterzedder01]

I've had the pleasure to work with Steven and he is not only a one-of-a-kind euphonium player but also a wonderful person.

[@James-gt9nv]

I recently bought another euphonium at 76 and love every day practicing . My fav was playing spiritual music from Salvation Army for shut ins at home for elderly. Best part is they sing along and never criticize.Blesses them and they bless me.

[@cyka-blin8612]

Oh my 1:19 the type of embouchure and tone control you have to have

[@Brobble]

It's astounding that he can have tone quality like that while playing something like that.

[@kazuma6976]

I don't even know how to play this but for some reason this is my favourite instrument

[@michaeldickinson994]

Most underrated horn ever.

[@nathanberry5633]

I got a chance to see steven mead in person when he came to a high school in my district, he is absolutely insane

[@rainheartz]

I have been playing the euphonium since I was in grade 4 and I still am. I am still quite young and I have just been given the opportunity to study at Griffith University. All my friends say that the euphonium sounds like farts, to them it might but I personally think it is one of the best sounds ever.

[@MrGutino1]

Euphonium actually means "beautiful sound". Just keep on playing.

[@rainheartz]

@@noctislucis they played the clarinet but like how can you hear a fart from it 😭

[@rezeski]

Your friends comments revealed a lack of intelligence, maturity, and sophistication. This is a wonderful instrument.

[@dingusdingus2152]

Learn some version or other of carnival of venice (the arban and Clarke should be readily available) and that might shut them up

[@andysander5695]

How in the world is he doing this at 1:19? I keep pressed back over and over again trying to figure out how this trill can be done with that much control. I still don't understand. Also, what is even happening at 9:12!?!?

[@benedictcumberbatch35]

Amazing performance! I've started playing the Euphonium for almost 3 months now, and wow their performance is just phenomenal.

[@trapezemusic]

Excellent wo masters of "The Noble Instrument".

[@tmarie2420]

Went from playing flute to low brass, Misa Mead is my inspiration to keep going.

[@Seezor]

I think if I had heard this when I was 12 I would have demanded the Euphonium. I played trombone and Tuba and now I have a Euphonium. Got some practicing to do. LOVED THIS.

[@evanmiller4502]

I can't afford a euphonium, I'm stuck with a Crappy school owned euph

[@Seezor]

@@evanmiller4502 I didn't get my first trombone for 2 years after using school instruments. I eventually had 2 and both were used but very playable. When I got to college I went back to a school some trombone that was much better than mine. I got a Tuba but never used it in performance. The Euphonium I have now is used and cost me less than 250 and I really like it. Not professional quality but for my use right now it's fine.

[@guyinarobe228]

I dont know about anyone else but i love when a euphoium blasts like they do near the ending, it's so much fun to listen to.

[@CorvetteCoonass]

It's wonderful to see a couple enjoying their time together like this. Amazing artists. :)

First of all, Bizet is the man!! Second that only missed first by a fraction of a fraction, arrangers- Luc and Misa! Next, you can compose all you want but SOMEBODY has to perform that jungle mess of notes- hats off to Misa and Steven!! You can't forget the accompanist on piano, that provides support that helps build the foundation. I wish there was a symposium of beautiful, super-talented specialists for the different instruments, the best of the best here in the capital of Texas. That would be awesome!!!!

[@Davidandrawes7]

rorschach162 I will have to disagree. His tone is just incomparable to anybody else! She is great, but his articulation, dynamics, and tone altogether are just the best!

[@marcvdbosch1802]

@@Davidandrawes7 Yes absolutely right ! I never heard them play togheter before. And its the first thing I tought: she is clearly his student thats why they play excellent togheter. She is great but he got that bit extra that makes him a worldclass soloist. His tone is just that bit larger , stronger and clearer. And his articulation is very crisp. You notice that well in the parts they dont play togheter and in the low register, there he is more accurate.

[@TheBoss-jv3mc]

which mouthpiece will offer a sweet, round, beautiful tone as well ease to high registers: Bach 5g, Bach 8-1/2BW, or Bach 6 1/2AL

[@Bananamann24]

Baritone_shoutin_D.M. 2k16 i would personally go with the 6 1/2AL but you should try them all out to best fit your embouchure

[@TheBoss-jv3mc]

Thanks,.they said 5g allows high notes out

[@kevinjames4072]

+Baritone_shoutin_ Cranka Blowing faster air allows more high notes, not your mouthpiece shoved into your face

[@johne9088]

whatever fits your face! It's all in the embouchure. for me, anything smaller than a 4g/Schilke 51D makes low register tougher. I use a Wick SM3.

[@anoukvandegraaf6070]

YahhBoii_ Dapoo I play on a alliance E3A. I can hit high registers without any problem. and get a great tone meanwhile. But picking a mouthpiece is very personal. I would advise to go to a place where they sell mouthpieces and just try a few, you'll end up with the best one for you

[@robertgruber8840]

I would love to know if there are any concert band pieces written for duet solo's by tuba and euphonium ??

[@davidlawrence2204]

I've not seen it done with band, but Devil's Waltz might be one worth looking into.

4:00

[@creamygamers2870]

My euphonium has 4 valves but their all at the top instead of 1 at the bottom

[@JarodTBN]

Those are compensating euphs, and the 4th on the side allows for a much cleaner tone in the bottom/pedal register.

[@jameswyatt5379]

The professional horns have valve at bottom for clarity of notes I think
