Honestly that moment where kumiko steps forward to reassure the entire band, and in the process, heals Mayu from her trauma while letting her finally feel accepted in her wish to simply be herself and play music at her best. It's extremely beautiful and emotional, and it completes Kumiko's entire character arc. It's just holy crap......
the hibike euphonium/asuka's solo leitmotif soundtrack reaching its peak during kumiko realizing what she has to do as president... i love this arc for her so much even if it is bittersweet. I love that even if she acts as president and defends mayu here... we still see her break down with reina in private. Like what band member wouldnt lol
I pause after the performance of both and I personally think that the first one is the better soli for the upcoming Nationals. It just so good to listen to, of the combination of sounds of Reina with Mayu. And I don't mind KyoAni changing this part because for me this episode is a masterpiece 10/10. I'm so excited for the last episode❤️

honestly, i thought the second person (kumiko)'s audition was better... but i know nothing about classical music/wind ensemble.

For me with no mucical knowledge, I really like the first one. It sound strong and keep up with Reina's sound. The second one sound like it is just staying behind to make Reina sound more stronger/visible.

I actually like the second one better but that’s just my preference. I think both performances are good but the vote was about which performance is more suited to win gold medal at Nationals. Remember that all the talented musicians in the show (Taki-sensei, Reina, Sapphire, etc.) already said that both Kumiko and Mayu are equally talented and it was a difficult decision for Taki-sensei during the Kansai Regionals audition so, this time, he decided to give the agency back to the band. • The first one is practically trumpet leading the way with euphonium supporting accordingly. Think of it as a chef and a sous chef effortlessly providing dinner services. • The second performance is basically a duet between two equal voices. I actually feel like this performance poignantly portrays a tearful yet powerful dialogue between two individuals who are departing. I think they picked up the first performance because it is more suitable as a competition soli (wherein perfect technicality is valued) but the second one is more of a concert soli (wherein liberty can be taken). Overall, I’m disappointed that Kumiko lost again but this was a fair addition. I feel like Kumiko will gain much more after losing this solo.

@@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai I dont have any musical experience either, but I thought that the second performance was nicer. I thought it had more "emotion"
If I remember right this was the first time in season 3 that they used the soundtrack version of "Hibike! Euphonium". Overall in this ep every chosen soundtrack was amazing. I am really unhappy with the outcome. But I don't hate Mayu.

I prefer the 2nd one. it was more expressive than the first one. Maybe i am not experience enough, i read the comments below. why cant 2 solos be on par? why must trumpet shine and euphonium be the compliment? both solos are singing to each other, they should be both on par and expressive for me
@ArgomzichiАй бұрын
Yeah you're right. The 2nd one was infact more expressive and is also what I prefer. But I realized overtime the 1st one was more calm and understanding of the trumpet solo, which resonated more than the 2nd one. Sad, but I'm happy they got gold

Cambias el final de la novela, Kumiko no toca el solo pero a cambio ganan el oro en la Nacional. Un precio justo y necesario para el desarrollo ya no solamente de Kumiko sino de Taki y Kitauji también.

each sound reflects the personalities of the two players this season. mayu who tends to "step back" and kumiko who this time wants to "go forward"

@@warcatbattalion Renia just chose the best player. This is also what Kumiko wants. The problem of Renia is, if she'd like to play soli with Kumiko. She had time to practice with Kumio and told the music she'd like or Taki'd like and helped Kumiko to optimize her play. While it seems that Renia didn't did this.
