To complement their performances in Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall, select members of the Vienna Philharmonic led three master classes on February 23, 2017. Participating young artists, alumni of Carnegie Hall’s youth orchestra program, NYO-USA, had the opportunity to perform and work with these world renowned musicians in a one-on-one setting in The Resnick Education Wing.

I always considered this excerpt to be the sole reason why any trombone player would want to play in an orchestra. So that they can hope that someday they get a chance to play it.

I can attest, this is exactly why I'm a professional trombonist. Bolero is exactly not the reason.

Great musician and teacher. He clearly describes what and how should be improved to the student.

[@barrypoupard7009]

Always amazed at how slim some professional trombonists are and yet they can blow the house down.

[@ryanjohnson1560]

Barry Poupard pretty sure their body size has nothing to do with lung capacity. Breathing gym exercises everyday will build your lungs to be incredibly strong.

[@barrypoupard7009]

I don't agree Ryan. Overall bodysize and specifically chest capacity has everything to do with lung capacity. Simple physiology. We inhale, we fill our lungs (partially), our rib cage gets pushed up and out and the diaphragm gets pushed down blah, blah. The larger the body, the larger the chest capacity, the larger the available space to expand and so the larger the various lung volumes. The trombone is a big instrument needing a lot of air to fill it. The remarkable thing for me is that so many pro trombonists are almost bean pole slim and yet can routinely play a controlled fortissimo which may be almost unbearable at close quarters. Ditto singers (look how slim the King's Singers are) and other wind players. I agree that the lesson is you don't have to built like Pavarotti to play the trombone but by using what your parents gave you ultra efficiently you can actually over come any physiological "disadvanatges".

[@ryanjohnson1560]

Barry Poupard okay, I see where you're coming from but I still dont think size of the body is the largest factor. If you get a moment look at any free diver. They're all super small and skinny, yet hold their breath for several minutes at a time. They train their lungs to work as efficiently as possible and also train to expand them as much as possible. I know holding your breath isn't going to help you play any orchestral excerpts, but it's just my way of thinking. Perhaps look in to dci as well. These musicians will often times be sprinting and playing at full volume maintaining perfect control because they train their lungs everyday. For a good example, Carolina Crown is the best brass line in the world right now.

Every music student should watch this master class in how to take a very good player and turn them into a great player. What a stunning class. What improvement, and what insight. Really not possible to do better than this.

[@soffronitsky]

You can tell that the teacher and the pupil are good when you hear the difference between before and after. I think you can crearly hear the difference and the pupil sounds much better after Küblböck's suggestions. Excellent masterclass.

[@roifastman1794]

can we all agree the student is amazing?

[@unkitwater]

his tone is phenomenal. so round and full! The variety in articulation dietmar suggested took the excerpt to another level but his base level tone was so so good.

[@olimcginnes1132]

The only thing I can pick out is his breathing is a bit shaky in places but it would be with Kublock stood infront of you… Fabulous player.

[@danmcglaun1]

It is so great to watch a master musician's take on something that is not on your instrument. Every musician can take something valuable away from this wonderful insight into a great solo.

[@7OrionBelt7]

What Herr Dietmar is describing with brassy is the difference in approach to brass playing. The orchestral European sound is full and resonant, not a sound that is abrasive or a blasting contest. Notice when the student slowed the air, and opened his airway, the character of his sound changed.

[@danemagruder]

"Trumbone"

[@verfuncht]

Saying that severely limits a trombonists repertoire, and will make them always second best to french horns. If you work hard to overcome the brassiness, you will be much more versatile. Just listen to the BBC Proms 2014 or 2016 recording of the Mozart Requiem. The trombones in this are not brassy, and would sound terrible if they were. In fact, the trombones play what the french horn would have played, as there were none in the classical period.
