【Classical Saxophone Solo Performance】- Astor Piazzolla Tango Etude No.3 by Wonki Lee

[@3ormoreletters]

I don't think this has enough love and attention. classical saxophone is so beautiful, but rarely anyone even knows it exists, much less appreciates it.

[@drmichaelshea]

Agreed!

[@baguettedepain3975]

Because classical saxophone repertoire is mostly contemporary stuff that nobody wants to listen to. Of course it's not bad when it's composed by Piazzola.

[@3ormoreletters]

@@baguettedepain3975 debatable, but i'm glad you like at least one type of classical saxophone!

[@baguettedepain3975]

@@3ormoreletters Still eh to me. The sound is too meager imo. They should try to keep same style with a bit less vibrato and a thicker sound.

[@JazzyRubberDuck]

I personally think this is a great way to describe Classical Saxophone, having students (like me) listen to this is a great way to help them understand a good idea of what the should try to sound like and work towards as a classical saxophonist. I’ve been working on my Classical tone because I’m literally capable of playing with a Jazz Style on my classical mouthpiece it’s not even funny, it’s good for Jazz but now I sound really bad in classical. My music teacher asked me to listen to things like these to get a good idea of things.

[@Sarivelle]

This is the first solo classical saxophone performance I could find on the internet and I'm honestly loving it. Dude, you are amazing! keep up the good work!

[@wonkisaxlee]

Thank you!

[@walterhighwood3209]

I usually listen to Jazz saxophonists, but today I discovered something new. The tone is so bright and beautiful, and yet still powerful.

[@vladtertichnick7619]

Прекрасное исполнение! Сейчас учу "Танго этюд 3". И ваше исполнение мне в этом помогает!

[@wonkisaxlee]

Спасибо!

[@eliasclarke_saxophone]

Piazzolla is literally my favorite composer. You make his music sound so much greater!

[@Itchy_Scab]

I love your roundness of your tone and how it is just as good when your playing in PP and how consistent it is the light the whole range of the horn Currently learning this piece

[@abigaelcazorzi8593]

Woah, I always stayed playing jazz pieces with my saxophone but this makes me want to explore more. Thank you!

I stumbled upon this.... so good !!!!!!

[@Jacob-lm1cs]

you ahve completely changed my idea about this piece. awesome

[@zipherdias420]

I like how most of the comments forget that the saxophone was made for classical music, the inventor did try to sell it as being able to play everything, and with the whole old conspiracy to keep it out of the symphony(super interesting story, look it up), but its true calling was the grand stage of classical.

[@wonkisaxlee]

Thank you!

[@BlackWarriorLures]

That was an altissimo A alright 1:23.

Thank you for your comment! I use Yamaha YAS-875 Gold Plated + V1 Gold Plated Neck, Selmer S90-180 mouthpiece, Ishimori Woodstone GP Ligature, D'addario Reserve 3.0+ Reed.

[@BillyBobJoeJamalJenkins]

What is the difference between a jazz mouthpiece and a classical mouthpiece and how to tell the difference? Edit: does it even make a difference?

[@lexitheperson9557]

On a classical mouthpiece the tip is usually more straight while on a jazz mouthpiece it's slightly more up kinda making the opening larger (idk if this is making sense) but yes jazz mouthpieces change your entire tone.

[@そらそら-l6p]

You're so cool I wanna be like u 😭

[@Blujaye18]

How do you get the Altissimo A to sound? I get squonk every time. Everything is this piece sings so well from you! It’s beautiful

[@chengoscar1566]

Do more overtone practices, you can start with using the neck only and try to capture three overtones ranges. And then you can try exercise like playing octave C major without using octave key, playing overtones using low Bb key etc. After you are more familiar with overtones, that means your embouchure and tongue position is better, and altissimo will sound better

[@andrewhxrris]

This dude using a gold plated saxophone bruh you know he’s serious
