That high G. If I ever write a bassoon concerto, I know what I'll be adding to the hardest passage. :D

[@somebody9033]

He can play the highest G on the piano (G7 if middle C is C4)

The A-flat7 too :)

[@somebody9033]

Try A7

Working on it!

Found a B-flat! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJrKZK2tg6dgnpY

1:58 I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!!! HOLLYY!!

[@MattLamPiano]

3:14 am I the only one expecting Mission Impossible theme song to drop??

[@noname8354]

Holy shit. I just switched from alto sax to bassoon yesterday, and it's really fun. But how is this even possible?!?!

[@Duckimato]

I just switched from trombone and I can only play 3 songs. This is impossible

[@Pickleccine]

Random Person Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of practice. Lots and lots and lots and lots.

[@JDragn-gr5id]

Lots of practice and double tonguing- damn I love bassoon

[@galebegnaud9447]

I’ve been playing for 5 years now, this just looks like pain, pure physical and mental pain

[@garfield8793]

After playing the bassoon for almost 3 years now, I can surely say you almost can’t, it’s not even worth trying anymore.

[@tackontitan]

The sheer difficulty of this makes me glad I only have to play the piano version.

[@dextermorgan5962]

piano version is not that easy

[@justastellarperson219]

Piano version is a nightmare

[@madelinezhang9693]

Kayla Kerstetter that is a very large measure

[@joeplavin]

I’ve been playing bassoon for about six years, how the hell can you play those octave jumps so fast, and without cracking? I am in awe, nice job sir.

[@owensiegel-k4j]

Practice scales but doing several octaves pops on each note then gradually speed them up it helps a lot

[@ronm3245]

Don't feel too bad. I've been playing for about 50 years and I still can't do that kind of stuff.

[@MartinHatchuel]

Brilliant. And I don't read music very well, so it was fascinating and fun having the score to try and follow you. I failed. :)

[@madelinezhang9693]

Martin Hatchuel try maybe 0.5 or 0.25 speed

[@loren103]

Are you kidding me? This is a very difficult piece. My my...the bass clef to Tenor in the middle ...then back to bass clef. Beautifully executed....technically flawless! Wow loved it.

[@TheMichael_Ng]

TMEA Bassoon All State etude 6 be like

[@racojahtheloxodon2844]

I think I just came

[@owenallen2157]

I play bassoon, and I don't even know how to go through fingerings this fast because fingerings for notes are super funky on bassoon. Especially in the upper range when your moving your left thumb between the various thumb keys.

[@angelapena6543]

I can't even find the right words after listening the whole piece so I'm just gonna go with BRILLIANT!

Flattering Angela, happy to hear you like it!

[@unicarrot7757]

You are just too good for this world.

[@Ethan-sg8ig]

sounds like a duet

[@madelinezhang9693]

NosnhoB_NahteB it should be so that someone else could try to play this

Utatane You're in all music videos of youtube. Bassooon is TOP

[@Froboy1100]

Thanks for this superb work. This will make a great example for my Orchestration studies.

[@MrRpatricio1]

Great performance and an excellent arrangement. Your high G was very clean! Bravo

[@Sujkhgfrwqqnvf]

Suspiciously clean.

[@TheShredworthy]

Your playing at 'Animato' at m.133 is just superb. The phrasing is so clear. I am in awe of your technique. and your breathing!

[@zangsax]

Outstanding !

[@kaylakerstetter7879]

I'm in awe.

[@Computinater1010]

Wow, to play these massive jumps for bassoon is insane!! Congrats to you as an amazing arranger and bassoonist, I hope to play this someday!

[@manuelgonzales6483]

Stunning 😯 & brave. Well done. Not an easy task...❤️

[@TheStickyKey]

on those high notes it sometimes sounds like their playing a violin

I think I'm gonna buy your book to practice with in college next year. This is very amazing.

Hope you will enjoy the book, and all the best with your studies!

[@liamesanchez]

Your technique is astonishingly good!! An excellent arrangement to pair with it, as well. God bless and keep up the good work :))

[@blakecarterpiano]

So good that I did not realize that it is pitched down a half step.

[@user-eb8mi3xi5f]

Breath control is insane, this is very impressive. So hard those trill and beautiful octave in piano, I've heard this piece on classical guitar, piano, but bassoon is first, just wow.

[@marcosPRATA918]

O fagote é capaz de executar intervalos tão distantes; difícil e fazê-lo com maestria, como temos aqui, isso é incrível.

[@RJ12347]

How many clefs can this basoonist read? Yes All

[@nolansmith2121]

NEW GENERATION MOZART

[@carteredwards1983]

He put in trills that weren't marked just to flex on us plebian bassoonists.

[@SpaghettiToaster]

Ah yes, nothing like that bassoon bell sound!

[@IzzySavides]

WHAT this is truly spectacular, i had no idea bassoons could do stuff like this

[@TheBlueeyedJew]

This cellist's mind=BLOWN

[@rorycbruce]

WOWOW, what an incredible performance. Faultless - and yet such an incredibly difficult piece. I am truly amazed by such a virtuosic performance.

[@drachenfeuer7410]

Now the double bass must play this. Lets work. Bravo man!!!

[@bassoon1213]

Great job

[@fxw]

Very impressive!

[@carsonsaponaro1475]

I’ve been playing basson for 4 years and I’m part of the Boston Youth Symphony and even the Bassoon director claims you sold your soul to Satan in order to play this

[@beegtea]

Amazing.

[@alexandergoodhart398]

Hey man very impressive! I'm wondering, just to learn more about the abilities of the Bassoon, are there any other keys that this arrangement would work in?

[@grizzly32002]

Amazing

[@sleepyk9201]

what the ffuck 👀 wowwwwwww 🤩 the sheer amount of work

[@jonastechmanski1592]

Truly astonishing skill. Awesome arrangement and performance!

[@BoburmirzoSultonovBassoonist]

Fantastic. Good job 👍👍👍 respect

[@billingsleypiano394]

Excellent! But... I can’t help but find a little bit of irony in the fact that a bassoon is playing a piece entitle “little bell.”

[@MBOGUN1]

bravo!!!!!

[@garrison_compcub2536]

3:15 sounds like death 💀

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Apart from the astonishing display of virtuosity this is also very helpful for anyone wanting to write for bassoon, because you can hear the complete range and judge perfectly where the instrument shines and where it strains.

Was that a double trill on the high D-Eb?

+Richard Bobo Yes, trilled with both hands on the high Eb-key like crazy!

[@gitodachoppa1198]

Wow I'm gonna start playing bassoon again. That seems so impossibly hard but it sounds so good

[@Roman-us2fp]

I could read the music pretty well but in terms of actually playing it…

[@carcar4425]

Hey Kristian, I'm curious as where you got your bassoon and how much you paid for it. I'm interested in getting my own Bassoon in the future and I was hoping you could help me a bit, thanks and great upload keep it up.

I'm playing on a Moosmann model 200, however me and Moosmann have been experimenting a lot with my bassoon and its technique. Detailed info can be see here: www.kristianomaronnes.com/main-bassoon

[@simon2322]

This is unbelievable! Amazing skill! But some parts sound like a dying goose but it's just the nature of the song and the instrument I guess XD

[@confusingpramamedic2237]

Starting to learn this piece on bassoon and is NOT FUN! mad respect to the guy playing this.

[@gunnarkilborn3915]

Impressive that your learning it, how long have you been playing?

[@Dranok1]

*Aaaaargh!* The clef changes!!! I hate that more than the rapid octave switching! Treble to bass to alto back to bass then *damned tenor* appears 😤🤯 I mean, three from the end, it even swaps to tenor for *one note* then bass for *one crotchet* then back to tenor... just... to... SPITE me! Yes, I know very well that it's only to help the page not look cluttered for notation purposes and you know the piece by heart by the time you're practicing dynamics at full speed, but I always struggled when sight reading, and I *never* spotted the difference between alto and tenor on the fly 😡. It just made the whole process so much harder for the likes of me not playing anywhere near this level...

[@laeze1756]

I’m in eighth grade and play the bassoon and this makes me want to cry. First of all: where can I get a bassoon that good and second: where can I get that reed?!?😂 Honestly I squeak all the time and this just blows my mind

[@charlesgaskell5899]

If the piece is in G minor, why isn't the key signature 2 flats?

[@V15lol]

That g at the end wtf

Congratulation with over 10.000 views!!...Skål!...

Weird flex, but ok.

[@davideaquino70]

Insane...

[@annpatricia2613]

😂😂😂 I'm in awe.... In some places the bassoon almost sounds as if it aspires to become a violin. I'm struggling with beginners lessons (enjoying it throughly), and I cannot imagine how it is even possible to play like that. Thanks😊

[@Jwellsuhhuh]

Everyone gangsta until there is alto clef for bassoon

[@hannahherrmann4921]

this made me thankful for classical saxophone, and my cadenzas can kill.

[@ChristianIbarra]

Your channel is amazing! Congrats!

[@trombonetimmy1064]

I remember watching this on a different account a couple years back and I didn’t watch it for a while but I listen to this piece almost every day now

[@bunnyThor]

Yes, the technical proficiency you need to do this blows my mind, but even that is dwarfed by your ability to get such a clean recording of this. All of your felts and corks must have been freshly installed and all your hinges must have been newly oiled for it not to be sounding like a typewriter falling down the stairs in the background with the workout you were giving to all the thumb keys. 😮

[@NicolasConnault]

As technically and musically impressive as this is, it really demonstrates that this music was NOT written for the bassoon :)

[@thewhisperkey6956]

Do you have a version with piano accompaniment?

[@janewong3847]

this is exhausting to play and requires many technique but beautiful

[@marykolar7319]

I'm curious as to why he choose the key signature of 1 flat when the piece is clearly in the key of G minor.......

[@Ryue-Gloamyy]

bro whoever put the treble clef change MID SONG is evil as hell

[@jpsned]

I thought scientists had recently proven that you can't play this that well on the bassoon.

[@scottjampa6374]
