Nice, Young. Wish I could have informed you of the misprint B natural near the end before recording. Very impressive playing, though.

[@YoungKimHorn]

William VerMeulen yes! Will be more thorough in the future for sure-

Oooohhhh! Terrific, exciting and musical performance… What a pleasure!

[@DrakeLovett]

Absolutely wonderful! I'm working on this piece right now and it feels a little bit like going uphill with a wheelbarrow with a tonne of bricks in it, but I'm confident :P

[@jazzmin6665]

I played french horn for a little while before switching to flute. I have so much respect for horn players...I tried for six months to get one decent tone out of that instrument, only to sound like a dying elephant. Anyone who can make such beautiful music with this instrument has my highest respect! And the piece is, I've heard, one of the hardest for french horn. Amazing!

i play 8 years on my french horn.... still can't play this.

[@mr-kq3ig]

No wonder bc its considered the hardest piece on french horn

[@JackBlack-i6k]

Superb!! Reminds me of my old teacher, Mr. Cerminaro, who played this Bozza live in NYC dozens of times. Fine pianist, too!

[@isaacgeorge6388]

I’m over here in highschool just like “I wanna be this good.” Hopefully I might be able to play this for solo contest once I get my braces off. That was a beautiful performance. Well done!

[@raayney]

can i ask if you're able to play with braces

[@MrSmorris314]

@@raayney typically you can play with braces, but it can be hard in the higher range especially for the first chunk of time having them. I took that time to improve my low range a great deal. Then when you get the braces off it's a bit hard again for a month or so just because you have to readjust and get used to the feel of the mouthpiece again. But it is all doable :)

This piece is so perfect for horn. I absolutely love it. Heroic yet melancholy. Fantastic playing, Young

[@coxsosanis4957]

I'm currently a sophomore in high school and i'm working on a very challenging piece named "Fantasy for horn" by Sir Malcom Arnold I love the piece its so fun to play i'm practicing it for an upcoming solo festival i got a 1 at district which means i get to go to state really hope i can make it sound as good as you played it your tone was beautiful and those lip trills gave me the chills amazing job

[@YoungKimHorn]

Good luck on your solo festival. The Arnold is a great piece! Hope you make it singing and enjoy yourself while performing!

[@coxsosanis4957]

This is quite a challenging piece but i think its beautiful and from what I’ve played of it its really fun.

[@gilbertbirsens389]

Bravo, impressionnant !!

[@jaakkovalimaki7395]

Wonderful! 🎉🎉🎉

[@AlaisDahen]

2:57 I hear the gregorian chant inspiration there. I think it might be an actual one, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

[@YoungKimHorn]

Hello! The Gregorian chant Bozza quoted is “victimae paschali laudes” which was normally sung during Easter.

[@AlaisDahen]

@@YoungKimHorn That's what it was! Thanks!

[@kuo-huachen2189]

wonderful playing musically! what equipments, horn and mouthpiece, do you use?

[@YoungKimHorn]

Kuo-Hua Chen Thank you for your kind words! I use Keith Berg’s double horn and Laskey 80Fe

[@kuo-huachen2189]

@@YoungKimHorn thanks! I have Laskey 80Ge. Is 80Fe actually wider than 80Ge or just deeper?

[@YoungKimHorn]

Kuo-Hua Chen I believe it is only deeper cup. The inner diameter 80 stays the same.
