Csardas French Horn Solo, Steve Park, Horn

To download an mp3 file of the accompaniment, go to www.steveparkhornmusic.net. Amazing fast horn playing!!! Another piece originally for violin. This is quite hard but really fun!!! My students just shake their heads when I play this one for them. Subscribe! I will be adding more famous solos on a regular basis. I teach horn at a University and my goal is to create a video library of some of the best horn solos for my students and others. Also let me know if there is something you would like me to record.

[@wayneanderson6371]

8 years after I was searching for horn solo to audition at Baylor University, I saw you play this. This ended up being my audition piece and ended up with a full ride there. So thank you very much for sharing.

[@VAMPIREPERSON98]

I told my horn teacher I wanted to learn this and she said, "Lets Stick to Sonata" lol

[@Belatius5]

Haha Mr. Park was my band teacher the past two years of Jr. High. I remember this song. If anyone is wondering how he plays it so well, it's because he practiced a TON! He worked on this song all the time, especially before class would start we'd walk in and he'd be playing this song.

[@s.e.hebert7307]

That looks incredibly FUN to play!!!! I'm envious, as I'm without a horn now, and can't wait to be able to afford one again!

[@Nat-ow5eh]

I AGREE! XD

[@Christos567]

A wonderful old folk song great horn playing. Thanks for sharing

[@GregorytheImpaler]

I played F. Horn back in high school, and I'm looking for a horn for myself, now that I'm well out of high school, and want to continue. This is very good! Nice job, Horns aren't easy to play well, and you are amazing.

[@ohsteacher]

I watch what I eat and exercise almost daily.

[@ohsteacher]

@pibom1 I have learned to be very efficient. I play with a relaxed embouchure. I keep my lips close together (without squeezing them together). I try to keep the pressure light. I play with my lips rolled in. I play on a medium small mouthpiece. I have done a lot of experimenting to find what works best for me. Different things may work for you. You just need to experiment. I do know you have to find a way to play relaxed to have good endurance.

[@ourrturtleisland]

amazing!

[@hugheyhudson]

I'm glad you said something. There's a lot of serious music snobbery on KZbin. It's as if some people are incapable of saying "Thanks for sharing" and, instead, have to throw in some version of "oh no, (insert here) is so much better/more interesting/somehow comparable." It's frustrating.

[@Nat-ow5eh]

That. Was. AMAZING! I wanna try!

[@Basstaco69]

Idk why there is 13 dislikes. Probably a person who has no instrument talent. And wouldn't know how hard this is

[@WillMartinez1999]

Kyler kemp Probably trumpet pricks who said they can do it better

[@ThePeaterBeater]

I think Steve is an incredible technical talent, but whether it be due to his mic or just his sound, I'm not the biggest fan of his tone. It seems to be very core-y for lack of a better tone; it doesn't ring the overtones as much as guys like Dennis Brain or Hermann Baumann but I think his technical ability more than makes up for it

[@bluebook27]

ok, i play the french horn, and dammnnn. there is no way i could play that... great job

[@hockey24mb]

good idea, i used to play trumpet until two years ago i fell in love with horn. There amazing except alot different be ready to work hard if you switch

[@LatinRockGuy]

I'm currently learning this piece with a private instructor using your arrangement XD. It has provided me hours of joy in trying to match your sound. I'm trying my best to get there. I've been playing seven years and this is my 8th so I think I should be able to get pretty close

[@jamiebattiest908]

I love you and your skills, you're a real motivator for musicians all around. Much love from Lawrence Ks

[@LatinRockGuy]

I give extreme props to you. I think people that like this should check out Chistian Lindberg play it. It's interesting to hear it also played on Trombone. I personally like the horn version better but the trombone guy is crazy too XD

[@MorganNicole2015]

This is AMAZING! I`m in 8th grade and I`ve been playing since 6th. I hope to be this good one day! French horn is the best thing in my life, it makes me so happy to pick it up and play. I hope I can be like you and get to play it my whole life.(:

[@alecharlow4270]

9 years later and I am kind of curious what happened, are you still playing?

[@SS3cubes]

@@alecharlow4270 facts ^

[@gloriaramirez9369]

Wow. Great job! You have been an inspiration since I began playing horn four years ago. I know I can always count on looking at your profile to find a horn solo! :)

[@christianac123]

I'm a violinist, and I remember playing this at state Solo&Ensemble last year. I REALLY want to learn the French horn, too! And I was very amazed at this video. =] Now I want to learn it even more. XD

[@arlequinldv]

My great congratulations for all your videos. Eloi Roset

[@trinitythomas9104]

Omg ever since I heard this I've been practicing pieces with higher notes. I aspire to be as good as you one day! Thank you for inspiring me!!

[@stokes885]

im goin to play french horn, u rock

[@ohsteacher]

@MagicCrazyMe Leave your horn sitting out in the sun for an hour - Just Kidding!!! To get a warm sound, I play with my lips close together and very relaxed. Many students play with their lips too far apart and then have to make them hard or tight to get a sound. Experiment with trying to make a small, round, relaxed opening in your lips.

[@stickom]

I could swear,..I saw Magyar Hussars dancing and eating paprikash in the same room!!! Ha, ha, Ha- thanks for posting, it was inspiring.

[@kickbuttme]

HHAHAHAHAH this was my band teacher!! he was amaing awsome. your evil cooler now steve hahhahaha!!

[@HCSCreveange]

Wow, great tone!

[@bradn7]

ok i want to play this.

[@ScreamDemon08]

That's very nice. I really liked those bent tones!! XD Keep up the fine work, professor!

[@pinocchioscircus]

Mr. Park, you are awesome! --Sarah Linton

[@mackenziejoy24]

wow!!!!! i'm in 7th grade and play the french horn. i've been playing it for 2 years, and just WOW this is amazing!! hopefully, someday, i can play this fast and good as you! i'm DEFINITATLY subscribing!

[@hugheyhudson]

That was a blast! :)

[@carson4004]

THATS CRAZY DUDE AWESOME!!!!!!

[@justinyam4322]

very well played! excellent

[@majoraquino8413]

Cool! You are a very talented horn player!

[@ohsteacher]

Lots of scales and technical exercises. Start slow - use a metronome to control your speed - learn it well slowly - then gradually speed it up using the metronome. No shortcuts!!!

[@eurebecaalmeida_]

Bravíssimo! Bela música e excelente interpretação ... #Perfeito! :D

[@ohsteacher]

@ag469 It is critical to develop a good flexible, efficient embouchure. Most young brass players don't play rolled in enough. I highly recommend the book "The Balanced Embouchure" by Jeff Smiley. It has great tips and exercises for developing the embouchure.

[@beccalynnburton]

GReat job!

[@flytallerkin]

I know how to play French Horn pretty well, I'm 15 and started Trumpet as my first instrument at 6, and french horn has been my permanent for 3 years and I'm in my city's teen symphony orchestra. I can play trumpet, french horn, alto horn, B flat trombone and euphonium, and B flat tuba, basically the same fingering (with the exception of french horn and trombone) but different mouthpieces.

[@flowmasta9mm]

*perfection

[@HOWTODISPEL]

why doesn't this have 1mil+ views???

[@annierizzo9637]

Yah all the partials are so close together... I play the French horn. I've played it for all my life and I am still no expert. 😂😢

[@saradoman992]

I want this for the violin. It's amazing.

[@someonelovesjimmy]

@Withloveme2u That's good. it does take time. I have yet to hit all the bass clef notes as well. Though my range is now 4 octaves from low low c to high c. thank goodness! and It feels great to know my advice helped someone! I'm going to college next year as a music comp major on horn and I've been taking horn lessons for half a year. my boyfriend for like 6 years though. I get tips from him as well. lol. Good luck. you must be a great musician to be playing horn. beautiful instrument

[@422niron]

@tylerama90 No. Some fingerings for horn are similar to trumpet, but not all. Mellophones have the same fingerings as trumpets.

[@TheGuitarist365]

I play 9 instruments, none a french horn. I have a friend who plays it though. I LOVE the sound and clean articulation on those fast parts! That piece would sound good on a french horn or trumpet why was it written just for violin? Amazing!

[@kevintheblacksmith]

very good .I play this piece on my tuba

[@CptCanarie]

how about in the hall of the mountainking? i know it probably seems simple, but I would love to hear it, and be able to relisten to it

[@LatinRockGuy]

I would love a copy of this as well please!

[@scoobyj2002]

I don't know if I should switch to horn from trumpet. My trumpet teacher suggested it cause I have the embouchure of one or howeveryou spell it so I'm checking these videos out to see how I like it.

[@AdinDell]

ur friggin amazing

[@viviano4]

What model horn is that. it sounds beautiful. I currently have a holton intermediate farkas horn it. sounds almost as beautiful but wow.

[@Belatius5]

@kickbuttme haha mine too! Mr. Park is sick bird, now I'm in high school with Mr. Hendricks, who is completely crazy.

[@ShadeheartTheSouless]

Yeah im a sophmore horn player and i have been playing for about 5 or so years and i love it any tips for an ammature like myself? XD

[@ohsteacher]

Check out Oystein Baadsvik playing this on tuba. It is amazing!!!

[@cinimontoast]

I WANT TO PLAY THIS SONG NEXT YEAR!!!!!

[@gazzy11296]

rawr to you sir :P

[@aznchnxter31392]

어머나... That was soooo amazing! I literally started crying. haha. I'm a senior in high school and I'm looking for colleges to sign up for. It would be great to have you as an instructor ^^

[@davidbatdorf7327]

where could I get my hand on the music in this key? As I've looked around, all the editions seem to be a whole step higher...

[@kkhaned35]

太棒了！！

[@marcusbeliz]

Hmm. I'm a begginner French Horn player. I'm a sophmore in High School and our French Horns are really good, one of them actually went to State Band last year lol. I'm barely begging to play, like I've only picked it up twice to play and don't know much about it. Any tips, I really want to make it to Area or Orchestra this year. I know my expectations are high, but you won't get anywhere with them being low.

[@masterofmusic321]

you should make cd's. I'd buy them

[@yepyep5219]

Does anyone know where I can get a pdf for it

[@ruudlemmens]

@SayuriDraws Czardas is indeed used in Ajelandro from lady Gaga, they only didn''t take a french horn version

[@IceSkater926]

wow lots of practice went into that i guess!

[@Indigoblue786]

I can play the french horn but i'm not as good and plus your french horn is T-I-N-Y ! But fantastic piece you've really inspired me.

[@magesarous]

yeah it is. except for the E, and D they are basically the same, F horn that is. Bb horn is a little different

[@masterofmusic321]

Is there any way I can get a copy of this. I'm going into my 5th year of playing horn and would like a challenge to use for auditions as I advance in my musical career. If you can, it'd be much appriated. Thanks!

[@lilbigmike009]

were can I get the sheet music for this I wanna play this in my horn class!

[@FMdog10]

I just started playing the French Horn

[@dkeck2696]

where can i get the music?!

[@hectojet]

U R GOD!!!!!!

[@CrazyGamer109]

dose the price of the French horn affect the quality the sound a lot or only in the hands of a professional

[@bradn7]

who did the transcription? I have one but its extremely high compared to this one and has some slight differences.

[@4stones]

please send me the music!

[@Luke_Pittman]

@shib340 I believe that a lot of us horn players would love to see that :D

[@TheDenyyys]

alexander horn?

[@dragoncandyguy]

I recently started french horn and as much as I practice, my G is flat. any tips?

[@TinkerInTheShop]

@bobtheawesomedude it's ''czardas''

[@mynameisntdanielle1759]

Where can I find the sheet music for this piece (Czardas)?

[@omegaseamaster3005]

mynameisntDaniell e have you found it yet? Kinda want to play this ://

[@clara4315]

there's a website called musescore with it on it

[@clara4315]

Oscar Animas Musescore.com

[@ohsteacher]

@bradn7 I did this arrangement.

[@yussellmanvidsky6346]

This is what God would sound like if he were to play the french horn.

[@18everrocks]

is french horn fingering like trumpets?

[@ohsteacher]

I play piano and I also play trumpet fairly well, but I play those instruments casually from time to time and no one is going to hire me to play them. I have dedicated thousands of hours over many years to practicing and performing on horn. I would have to spend that kind of time on trumpet or piano to even have a shot at being really good.

[@samohan245]

you should play mozart's clarinet concerto the 3rd movement

[@shnkthmpsn09]

wats the name of this piece, i would love to play it. i've been playin horn for two yrs now and i love to challenge myself

[@annikafought115]

csardas

[@annikafought115]

i hope your twelve years of horn playing has been fun

[@annikafought115]

your honestly an inspiration

[@liuc94chek]

How you read the piece !?

[@danzakane7351]

You get the muscle memory down, and then you just feel it. Sheet music is only a crutch for maintaining you place.

[@annierizzo9637]

John B Trumpet Yah that is so true.

[@blueraineee]

How do you play high notes such as high doh without squeezing your mouth too much?

[@Rodier1128]

I dont feel this piece is right for the horn, but you got really close to changing my mind (Still gorgeous playing)

[@user-xs4ks6rv7p]

Sheet horn pleas!)

[@gazzy11296]

im korean, whyd you say that? anyway, are you looking for music colleges?

[@s6restf8]

Steve.. you look so thin. Do you run or exercise to help your playing?

[@MrUgahcanada]

Mouth getting tired? Mine would after thirty seconds of this!

[@timlyg]

Could you do BumbleBee on that? Hehehe

[@Omgshoes017]

@ag469 brass is one of the hardest, but most rewarding (in my opinion), instrument classes to learn. Definitely invest in a teacher, at least for a few lessons, or you won't make much progress

[@jlublinkhof3494]

that looks hard i could never do that!!!!!!!! :(

[@miles53194]

speed it up and show me FAST!

[@ohsteacher]

Utah State University.

[@mlark4]

@blueraineee You must get a good teacher, private lessons if possible, and develop a good embouchure. It's control that counts; don't make it small for high notes.
