Carmen Fantasy for 2 Euphoniums and Piano

[@Nathan-cd9zz]

Those who disliked it probably have never played a musical instrument and they dont know what it takes to get to this level of playing

[@gavinreed7214]

Or maybe they disliked because they do know and are jealous

[@edwardbrown3308]

Their loss in life.

[@gamerbeastboy1842]

In order to play like Steven mead you first off you have to have like just CRAZY fast air and be able to show off on the finhers

[@jamesfraser4173]

I have played the euphonium, but not at that level!

[@explodingsausage6576]

Or maybe... Shock horror, they just don't like the performance?

[@masterzedder01]

I've had the pleasure to work with Steven and he is not only a one-of-a-kind euphonium player but also a wonderful person.

I am a former player of this instrument. The amount of time and discipline that went into this - not to mention the professionalism - is beyond my comprehension. But I feel sorry for virtuoso Euphonium players now because there seems to be so few orchestral works that score for it. But there's always KZbin.

[@WayneDetzler]

As a lifelong lover of euphonium and a player of the instrument, I am astounded by this performance. The speed and precision of running parts, trills, and especially harmony parts is dazzling.

[@James-gt9nv]

I recently bought another euphonium at 76 and love every day practicing . My fav was playing spiritual music from Salvation Army for shut ins at home for elderly. Best part is they sing along and never criticize.Blesses them and they bless me.

Oh my 1:19 the type of embouchure and tone control you have to have

It's astounding that he can have tone quality like that while playing something like that.

[@nathanberry5633]

I got a chance to see steven mead in person when he came to a high school in my district, he is absolutely insane

[@benedictcumberbatch35]

Amazing performance! I've started playing the Euphonium for almost 3 months now, and wow their performance is just phenomenal.

[@michaeldickinson994]

Most underrated horn ever.

[@christophermateo8727]

I personally think that the highest attainment in life is to be a MUSICIAN.

[@rainheartz]

I have been playing the euphonium since I was in grade 4 and I still am. I am still quite young and I have just been given the opportunity to study at Griffith University. All my friends say that the euphonium sounds like farts, to them it might but I personally think it is one of the best sounds ever.

[@MrGutino1]

Euphonium actually means "beautiful sound". Just keep on playing.

[@rainheartz]

@@noctislucis they played the clarinet but like how can you hear a fart from it 😭

[@rezeski]

Your friends comments revealed a lack of intelligence, maturity, and sophistication. This is a wonderful instrument.

[@dingusdingus2152]

Learn some version or other of carnival of venice (the arban and Clarke should be readily available) and that might shut them up

[@trapezemusic]

Excellent wo masters of "The Noble Instrument".

[@Seezor]

I think if I had heard this when I was 12 I would have demanded the Euphonium. I played trombone and Tuba and now I have a Euphonium. Got some practicing to do. LOVED THIS.

[@evanmiller4502]

I can't afford a euphonium, I'm stuck with a Crappy school owned euph

[@Seezor]

@@evanmiller4502 I didn't get my first trombone for 2 years after using school instruments. I eventually had 2 and both were used but very playable. When I got to college I went back to a school some trombone that was much better than mine. I got a Tuba but never used it in performance. The Euphonium I have now is used and cost me less than 250 and I really like it. Not professional quality but for my use right now it's fine.

[@olgaonodera463]

Bravo! 素晴らしい パホーマンス Очень здорово, игра завораживает!

[@guyinarobe228]

I dont know about anyone else but i love when a euphoium blasts like they do near the ending, it's so much fun to listen to.

[@lxdgr8]

First of all, Bizet is the man!! Second that only missed first by a fraction of a fraction, arrangers- Luc and Misa! Next, you can compose all you want but SOMEBODY has to perform that jungle mess of notes- hats off to Misa and Steven!! You can't forget the accompanist on piano, that provides support that helps build the foundation. I wish there was a symposium of beautiful, super-talented specialists for the different instruments, the best of the best here in the capital of Texas. That would be awesome!!!!

Ur awsome Steven

[@giovannikaplati9122]

Fantastico

[@Dapo.Ganger]

which mouthpiece will offer a sweet, round, beautiful tone as well ease to high registers: Bach 5g, Bach 8-1/2BW, or Bach 6 1/2AL

[@Bananamann24]

Baritone_shoutin_D.M. 2k16 i would personally go with the 6 1/2AL but you should try them all out to best fit your embouchure

[@Dapo.Ganger]

Thanks,.they said 5g allows high notes out

[@kevinjames4072]

+Baritone_shoutin_ Cranka Blowing faster air allows more high notes, not your mouthpiece shoved into your face

[@johne9088]

whatever fits your face! It's all in the embouchure. for me, anything smaller than a 4g/Schilke 51D makes low register tougher. I use a Wick SM3.

[@anoukvandegraaf6070]

YahhBoii_ Dapoo I play on a alliance E3A. I can hit high registers without any problem. and get a great tone meanwhile. But picking a mouthpiece is very personal. I would advise to go to a place where they sell mouthpieces and just try a few, you'll end up with the best one for you

[@Davidandrawes7]

rorschach162 I will have to disagree. His tone is just incomparable to anybody else! She is great, but his articulation, dynamics, and tone altogether are just the best!

[@marcvdbosch1802]

@@Davidandrawes7 Yes absolutely right ! I never heard them play togheter before. And its the first thing I tought: she is clearly his student thats why they play excellent togheter. She is great but he got that bit extra that makes him a worldclass soloist. His tone is just that bit larger , stronger and clearer. And his articulation is very crisp. You notice that well in the parts they dont play togheter and in the low register, there he is more accurate.

[@creamygamers2870]

My euphonium has 4 valves but their all at the top instead of 1 at the bottom

[@JarodTBN]

Those are compensating euphs, and the 4th on the side allows for a much cleaner tone in the bottom/pedal register.

[@jameswyatt5379]

The professional horns have valve at bottom for clarity of notes I think

[@JonOlaivar]

I wanna say those are besson 2052s? Maybe 2051?

[@brunomaiamusic]

Hello, excuse my ignorance, I am new to Euphonium. I think I see a fifth valve for the left hand thumb. I suppose it is also for compensation. It is quite common to see the forth compensating piston on the left hand, but maybe a fifth valve is not so common to see. ( 5:41 ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmnZYZR5p81nfsk I had not seen an Euphonium like those before. I guess the fifth valve used to compensate the use of the third valve on F# (concert tune) Usually the best professional ones have all rotary valves, usually on the right hand. These instruments on the video have three upward pistons on the left hand, one piston on the left hand indicator finger, and what seems to be a rotary valve on the left thumb. Is that so?

[@angel9310]

It is used for intonation on some notes.

[@smokeytiger13]

it pushes out a tuning slide to keep your high range from going sharp

[@michealscheer4007]

I bought the sheet music for this and the notes go up to the other line above it
