Tout se travail et se perfectionne car la perfection n’existe pas sauf le travail et toujours le travail. Jouant du saxophone je vois dans cette vidéo que cela peut encore être mieux jouer. Je joue ce morceau et je vois dans cette interprétation et ce jeu des choses qui peuvent encore être travaillé. Encore plus à ma sensibilité d’écoute et de visionage qu’un travail de souplesse et nuances ont besoin de travail encore et encore avec la souplesse et la détente du jeu des clés des tampons et aussi de la mâchoire. Mais cela est aussi du ressort de la sensibilité de l’artiste musicien qui dois sans relâche travailler la compréhension de l’œuvre dans son ensemble et aussi dans ses transitions de phrases musicales. Bref toute une œuvre ce travail et peut encore et toujours travailler. Car la musique est du domaine du sensible et de la nuance. Rafinement somme toute musical. Enfin très belle vidéo. Merci Et vive le travail ! Vive la musique !

Omg this is so marvelous!! Great Job I'm doing this for highschool solo and ensemble its my freshman year and I look up to this so much. Thank you for posting! Beautiful dynamic contrasts and maybe, just maybe this sensitive performance would've made debussy like the sax a little bit more, for you played it with an amazing imagination. ☺

Debussy hated the saxophone

[@FranciszekCiuk]

@@glenngouldschair390 Thats an overststement. He didnt know it at all and didnt care enough to get to know it

[@tvgleaf]

@@FranciszekCiuk nope. He hated the saxophone, no point sugarcoating it.

You’re done with high school but as a freshman now, playing this is so annoying because I have a couple flat/raspy notes and it gets on my nerves every time

[@imauz1127]

college freshman i take it?

[@suehalliday2755]

[@MariaTapial-m3l]

[@fabiolaviveros6294]

Es una pieza perfecta para mostrar la capacidad del saxofón de evocar una amplia gama de emociones, mientras mantiene la elegancia característica del compositor.

Wait is this the tenor from the nyc subway video?!?

[@emanuelbarcelone]

Que versión es esa? Me gustaría conseguir la partitura.

[@chrisbee9164]

Fantastic rendition. What horn make/model is being played, and what is that neck? It gives wonderful tone

[@dawnwhitney2975]

It looks like a silver neck, although it’s not as shiny as I would expect.
