7:45 my fav part starts with the snare drum on the brushes. Like the rhythm of this section here ❤❤❤

[@lostfroggs]

I had a week to practice this for a music camp when I was 10 and it was probably the most traumatizing piece I've ever played

[@hades1364]

Try having 2 days to play this for all region

[@tuckrex2038]

@@hades1364yeah but were you 10?

[@hades1364]

@tuckrex2038 nope but it was my 2nd year on violin

[@happylilbookworm6513]

[@damianbroderick3913]

What an experience for you - seriously I'd have loved to have had that at such a young age🙂

[@dedede5586]

[@Dylonely42]

[@Dylonely42]

I really appreciate the music with the score together.

[@monomamori]

The support that those bass-viola lines does on the song... just wow.

[@samuelcabellogonzalez7590]

Celesta's first and only appearance in the work: 06:46 Saxophones' first appearance in the work: 07:59

[@thecorknicehero3073]

Nick! Thank you for posting this!

[@GNGianopoulos]

Hey Matt!!!

[@Michael-Oh]

I really like the bell sound at 2:14 , reminded me of a speeding bike bell or a tram. Cool percussion section in this orchestra!

[@Eorzat]

It literally says "taxi-horn" in the score, so you weren't far off.

[@Temulgeh]

@@Eorzat i'm pretty sure they meant the glockenspiel part

[@coasterdragon155]

so good...the intro is amazing especially

[@gibsonakin]

14:11 for All State Practice

You should read the New York Times article from March 2, 2016 to see how orchestras have been playing the taxi horn parts incorrectly for most performances and recordings since at least 1945. This was due to the ambiguity of Gershwin's notation regarding the pitch of the taxi horns. Orchestras have been using taxi horns pitched at A - B - C - D, but the recording of "An American In Paris" from 1929, made under Gershwin's supervision and probably with the taxi horns he brought home from his trip to Paris are actually pitch at A Flat, B Flat, a D that is higher than the one used today, and a taxi horn in A which is much lower than what is used today. Using Gershwin's original pitches for the taxi horns give them a much more dissonant sound making them really stand out. The problem seems to stem from the fact that Gershwin give the A-B-C-D notation just to specify which horn was to be played at a particular time, and not the PITCH that they should be played out. Life would have been easier if he had just labeled them 1,2,3,4, instead.

[@damianbroderick3913]

That's the challenge- he was giving something to work out - rise to it!

[@Dylonely42]

- How great do you want it to be ? Gershwin : Yes.

[@samuelcabellogonzalez7590]

Good work George Gershwin. Good work George N. Gianopoulos

[@Iwasbornin_]

Can't found this band on spotify 🙁 but I'm in love with this metronome more than new york philharmonic

[@richtomasek9308]

Thank you for putting this up. The New Zealanders don't "get" this work. Neither does the conductor. Stodgy, but still fun!

[@federicozimerman8167]

4:52 it sounds as going to a concert in which the rite of spring was played.

[@diannagrana9219]

American in Paris a gem ! 🥰

[@EthicRadioArchiveReels]

My nephew loves this type of music 🎶 We're making a vinyl record with this. I wonder how it would sound on a 10"inch vinyl record

[@patton303]

The tympani roll at 76 is missing from the score. Am I missing something?

[@sveinungnygaard1505]

This piece is fantastic! But it looks extremely difficult to play

[@AlejandroDominguezParedes]

0:33 Cuando escucho ese tema en el auto, inevitablemente toco bocina para acompañar la parte donde hay bocinas en la canción 😂

[@alexeygorbunov9876]

Gershwin's Paris is quite similar to New York, isn't it?
