Carnival of Venice for Trombone and Piano

[@UziBert1997]

Why is everyone hating on this guy, yea he took it kinda slow, yea not EVERY SINGLE NOTE was hit and his tounging is not as clear as Bob McChesney but this was still a pretty fine performance. Anyone who disagrees needs to upload a video of them playing it better than this guy. If not Shut up.

[@spiderwiz08]

Yea, what this guys said

[@clinto5]

+Robert Alcala It's not that he took it slow, it's that his technique isn't really that good.

[@golferken55]

It’s virtually as good as mcchesney. And not really slower. I like this guy’s tone quality better actually. You haters really have nothing better to do. .

[@jeremysolomon2686]

WickNolfe Gaming and Music upload a video if you think you can play it better also memorize the whole piece

[@carolepaul8390]

If you are so good, why are we listening to him and not you?????? Carole

[@menderbugg]

This was extremely well done. Intonation on trombone is difficult, and this guy did a great job making sure at least his notes were in tune relative to each other. I love his own spin using glisses several times and adding some near grace notes in the main theme. Very good performance.

[@douglepoidevin8718]

I'm an Intermediate level trombone player, so I'm very impressed by this. If anyone can do better then this, stop hiding behind a computer and step in front of a video camera.

[@snuklens]

listen at Bob Mchesney's arrangement. He has every note spot on.

[@snuklens]

sorry I didn't see this comment is 2 years old.

[@stephaniecurry45]

Snuklens0 not everybody is a bob mcchesney

[@jeremysolomon2686]

Snuklens0 he memorized this piece and played it live in front of an audience

[@Quasi]

@@jeremysolomon2686 wow he memorized the music and played it live wow 😐😐. I agree with everybody saying stop hating but thats not anything special like at all

[@troncator]

The slide shall overcome. Great job.

[@bamb0049]

he’s playing the actual arban book version which is harder than the bob mcchesney transcription btw

[@colintahbaz1292]

This isnt harder than than the transcription, its the same thing but the transcription has extra. This is still a good performance though.

[@WhiteTreeRightful]

@@colintahbaz1292 no it's really not. In some areas the transcription has a few extra bits, but most of them are actually easier to do then the same part in the original. The last variation is SIGNIFICANTLY easier in the bob mcchesney version, so obviously bob is going to take it faster then anyone playing the original

[@golferken55]

Are you people serious?!? This is very technically difficult and he did a great job. Better than most professionals. Can’t compare him to mcchesney as he is the best to play this. But excellent performance. If you can do remotely as well put your trombone where your mouth is!!

[@renebenders4309]

Good trombone player ❤👍👌

[@elkartian]

Excellent sound and a fine example of a brass player as I like to say simply ''Riding the air'' that means starting the notes with air first with the tongue just delicately articulating but always keeping the air moving .a superb ''Live'' performance and very inspirational.Now where did I put my Arban ?

[@Thomas67ify]

absolutely phantastic... It´s great... Bravissimo...

[@paulwellings-longmore7692]

Amazing playing !

[@harrykaps13]

WOW!!! What excellent control and tone!

[@genesedetrombonese3876]

BRAVO!!!! 👏👏👏 😀

[@willn768]

Amazing work here!

[@akey2011]

That was amazing.

[@SergioJoelLeivaBenegas]

Amazing!!!!!

[@MusicTheGreat]

Bravo!!! Like it...

[@melvineduardocz]

What a video !!! ¡¡¡ Qué video !!!

[@Hababa2]

yes, I was a bit slow, BUT IT"S ON A TROMBONE! That makes it considerably harder!

[@medhist2006]

Beautiful job. Great tone:)

[@Markinsky]

Very, very,very,very good!!

[@GolecOrkiestra]

very nice, super sound.

[@thiccoatmeal6773]

This better than anything I could ever do lol, good job!

[@markericsonesguerra5325]

nice tone

[@Bloodpix]

This was pretty impressive :D

[@EvChamTH]

Now imagine doing all that, except with a slide where it isn't just press or not press, where you need to make sure you get every inch of precision into your slide position, all the while maintaining good embouchure/posture. Not saying other instruments don't need precision, but when you actually feel the slide, you'll understand how much trombonists need to put into their tuning and intonation. Also carrying the whole trombone's weight on one shoulder is hard.

[@trainzandtrombones]

@@rogue7161 If your trombone is resting on your shoulder you aren't holidng it properly.😂

[@rainbowcolourdtears]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! *throws my bone out the window*

[@Warcrafter]

Goed, erg goed Meneer!

[@tncrtt]

Nice !!

[@mmendez4110]

Even if it was false notes, you have to give him credit. It would never sound like Maurice Andre cause is a trombone. Now, an Euphonium may give the piece more credit or maybe a valve trombone.

[@lhmanso]

Maravilhoso

[@angelgonzalez14]

Bravo!! Well done sir! what size mouthpiece is that? looks close to a 51 D of sorts. nonetheless, he produced great tone from it!

[@medhist2006]

How long have you been playing?

[@rambokris2000]

Where can I find this arrangement of it can someone tell me please, with the piano part?

[@WhiteTreeRightful]

probably on imslp

[@TerminalChillness975]

Play on 1.25 speed

[@anne-mariegormandoyle6378]

Where can I get the sheet music for this? (both trombone and piano)

[@WhiteTreeRightful]

the Arban's book has it the bone part

[@tylerbonilla2061]

the thing i dont like about super fast tounguing is that sometimes you lose the quality of the acual note itself and it ends up sounding like a random mash of stuff,, but i give him lots of props for being able to play it

[@windrac]

What an amazing solo! Still can't touch Wynton Marsalis!

[@bryankung2009]

Dafug!?! whats whats wif ur precision and intonation dude???

[@tbonezach]

Someday........Someday......

[@kpbressanelli]

I couldn't help but notice there's no video of you performing the piece(or any piece for that matter) correctly on your channel. Why is that ?Surely if you have the time and audacity to be so analytical of this man's playing, then undoubtedly you could enlighten us on how to play, by performing the piece yourself. You are MrTromboneGuy. Why not show us instead of just telling us ?

[@Jknessmic]

OOO SNAP

[@JB_The_great]

haha very nice.

[@collinbourland5299]

Also, every pitch has a pitch tendency. This makes every pitch either go flat or sharp of the standard position, so a trombonist needs to memorize every notes position. If you had ever played trombone you would know that. Know your shit before you come into a place and start making assumptions.

[@TheAceCrusher]

It's actually not that simple. The trombone, though difficult, is always possible to be in tune. It's difficult and takes many years of training, but nonetheless it is possible. With other instruments, if one note is out of tune then the other notes don't sound quite as good. The trombone IS a tuning slide whereas other instruments have to adjust differently and specially to every single note. I've been playing clarinet my whole life and I play in the Chicago Symphony and I know this to be true.

[@ZarkosisSmash]

I'm pretty sure you are not in the CSO. But sure dude.

[@albert_hwang]

He's definitely not. If you see his face in his one uploaded video, and search up the names and faces of the actual clarinetists in the CSO, he looks more like the black on the side bar.

[@JazzDelAnkh]

*Bows Down & Humbles Self* What can I get you to drink your majesty? (:

[@pubgnot3204]

People calling this guy bad or having a poor performance clearly do not know how difficult it is to play fast notes in tune on a trombone. People who think this guy is bad should go out and record themselves and try not to sound like a bad slide whistle.

[@bryankung2009]

it can be done with a trombone :) ever seen people doing it :)

[@enhkLePupe]

I tought I was a good trombone playyer...since now

[@hanj31]

Not a fan of the piano accompaniment should just be a transcription of the orchestral part

[@taylorbynum5300]

No, just no. I play both trombone and tuba, and I can tell you without a doubt The Carnival of Venice is easier to play on tuba than it is on trombone.

[@HORNE164]

Said no one ever..

[@neo66pl]

u must be kidding bro. trombone needs precision with every single position not to give away false tone while u can press buttons playing the same tone over and over again without worries

[@tromuniapp]

Was he glissing on purpose?

[@Potter5416]

I’m as the judges use to tell us in UIL Contest,” to many small mistakes for best possible rating “

[@Tokkemon]

I have to agree with some of the folks here. While I think its admirable to play this piece on trombone, the slide simply can't cope with the precision needed. Some of Arthur Pryor's solos are far more idiomatic to the trombone and sound just as virtuosic.

[@Blobbyo25]

You haven't heard the original trombone version of this piece then, Bob McChesner can play this piece perfectly on slide trombone

[@isaacrichter1101]

@@Blobbyo25 yeah but not everyone is as good as Bob. Him performing this live is still impressive.

[@KillerB64]

I have this down for the most part but the variation at 5:16 is ridiculous smh!!

[@carlenger9707]

Yes, variation 5 is very ridiculous.

[@キノコトロンボーン]

最初ミスタッチした！！！！

[@marcosvideos8198]

Asiático tenía que ser

[@macDaddy1118]

As a french horn and trumpet player i have to say that you are wrong. False tone can be given through ANY wind instrument with the position of your mouth and posture. Whether your lips are to low, high, not tight enough, not loose enough, or whether you are holding your horn at a certain angle, puffing cheeks or simply sitting up straight.You should not down any instrument because they are all difficult to play in their own way. Everything takes precision, whether its a slide or your embrochure.

[@hanj31]

Not a fan of this piano accompaniment I like the orchestral transcription for the piano

[@ThreeeeDog]

This was good but it's kind of lame that he used the trigger for trills.

[@adityabharadwaj2031]

id probably have to do that lmao

[@Scott-bq7jn]

How would you do the trills huh? 1st to 4th is not easy the trig makes sense to trill with

[@MaxBerkowitzMinemax]

@@Scott-bq7jn "how would you do the trills huh", what do you even mean? The trill is just over a Bb, so he could've just done a Bb - D lip trill in 1st position.

[@RobertoGomezPiano]

El picado y el sonido muy sucio.

[@Potter5416]

He flubed some notes and the glisondos didn’t really work there .

[@TubACapella237]

Personally, I thought the Theme and the first variation were quite nice (aside from intonation), but yeah, as I listen on he loses the fun-ness.

[@MrTromboneGuy]

NO!! He's playing it all wrong!!! It's supposed to be an exuberant, light & bouncy piece, resembling a caranvale at Venezia, but he's playing it all classical concerto. oh, and he's sharp

[@linolattanzio]

mah. una delle peggiori che ho ascoltato.

[@quiquebeta123454321]

Parece pinocho... Solo miente las notas

ehhh don´t like

He doesn't seem to know what the carnival is.

[@jarentikka8880]

Well I know you don't

[@xxxrdc]

I have always wondered why a tbone player thinks this piece of music is in the repertoire...it just shows how inappropriate and embarrassing for even the most competent player...ugly and cringeworthy fart sounds. ....SMH

[@LukeVaccaMusic]

Wow he's faking that entire middle section. He's just double tonguing and randomly hitting notes. Not to mention he's out of tune at the beginning. Other than that not too bad. But I could play it just as good.

[@father2491]

Luke Vacca then post some videos of you playing. let us see your chops.

[@xenohalon4734]

You do realize McChesney himself is pretty open about faking notes.

[@nicholastrombone9899]

Um Bob McChesny fakes notes all the time sirs who say he is worse than Bob
