Symphony Fantasy Variations of a Theme of Nicholo Paganini .Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra.

[@fortepiano4491]

James Barnes: What should I call my latest composition? Symphomic Themes of Paganini? Fantasy on Nicholo Paganini? Theme and Variations on Paganini? Publisher: *hits blunt* Publisher: What if we used _ALL_ of those titles? Barnes: There's no way they'd let me publish such a stupidly titled piece.

[@milesdavisahead]

Dude this is a great piece because it shows off every sections in the band

[@sorsorscience0787]

It’s so true.

[@Συναισθησις]

Meh. The oboe gets the best parts as always...

[@TheMarcHicks]

@@Συναισθησις its the best instrument, so it makes sense 😉

[@garrisoncluff5367]

I agree with Marcus.

[@aysarmarzuqi]

Bass clarinet, the bomb! But the whole band is awesome!!

[@gtsvon]

loving the euphonium player. most beautiful eupho vibrato ive ever heard in my life.

[@sighlantro2549]

This video is 13 years old and the music way older but still a complete banger

[@steveb.7278]

Chills everywhere during the Saxophone variation. Still get them as much today as I did back when my sax section nailed that section at a National Competition. Such an amazing piece

[@distroyer44]

At 1:35 the trombone section died laughing when we heard this play over the speakers in our band hall.

[@samtuttle95]

My College Band Director programmed this on his retirement concert, and it was fantastic. He knew what kind of band he had, and he wasn't afraid to show it off a little. We closed with the Finale from Maslanka's Second Symphony.

[@Zester141]

On the clarinet theme I can hear their button rattle

[@talentedmusician96]

Just played this in Wind Symphony at our All State. At first i thought this song was a little out of our league, but over the course of two days we were able to knock it out of the park.

[@motor159753]

I love Tokyo Kosei !!

[@mikehilden8966]

We're playing this as part of our MMEA All-State concert this year, can't wait!!!!

[@jacobpowell1962]

Go Hoosiers! Congrats for winning!

[@self1995]

Phenomenal song, one of Paganini's best

[@pranavbatra3161]

Eric Hamm The theme was Paganini, the actual variations were created by James Barnes.

[@ethandapenguin7447]

but it is flipping confusing

[@jakgff5885]

Paganini didn't write this, some of these instruments weren't even around when he was alive

[@jacobbass6437]

@@jakgff5885 I mean he died the hear the saxophone was made so close

[@Fuzzy111979]

I played this 10 years ago. It´s on of the best songs i ever played!

[@mrcookiemonsterr]

we kicked butt on this at allstate!

[@guthriedouglas1804]

God I'd love to play Xylophone on this piece...

[@TiDriE]

Amazing music to listen to and also to play. I just love it

[@soapsword4867]

6:30 trumpet here This makes me want to die

[@celadonk]

Awesome piece!! My favorite parts have to be the horns at 7:21, and the slow part at 8:23, especially when the clarinets come in under the oboe solo.

[@ccczeldamain]

Those clarinets sound so sexy!

[@celadonk]

@@ccczeldamain they really do!

[@Manu-rd6go]

thank you for up this song, its very beautiful. I loved with this song. (I'm spanish)

[@missingparts7710]

I miss the time that I was playing this piece, as principal horn for my group it was a very fun piece to play indeed.

[@kh88yesgortw]

I play alto sax >< Hope I can play this song one day ^^.

[@sebbee8240]

[@coltonmullis8880]

I’m first chair tuba and i was playing the top part at Var V but i got switched to the bottom because the other tuba couldn’t hit the low E. Most air i’ve used in my life

[@unhappydegenerate4674]

Can you please give some tips on hitting the high notes in the Piu Vivo bar towards the end of the song?

[@jdplaystuba]

Sounds about right I’m playing this this year.

[@LuisRivera-rl9gl]

@@jdplaystuba I know you

[@commanderweeb9949]

I played the bass clarinet. there is a lot of solos and it is so hard follow the beats.............................

[@aysarmarzuqi]

the rattles of clarinets, heard it clearly

[@jesustrompista]

Ahora la estamos tocando en mi banda y flipa.

[@garrisoncluff5367]

I think the tubas don't get enough recognition.

[@sams3476]

lol everyone played this at all stares while my high school band played it in wind ensemble. Not trying to hate on any one just saying. :/

[@froggirl0]

Sam Sam Schorer So did mine, I played the contra solo lol

[@carriesmith742]

I played it my senior year of high school in the WV All-State Band in 1995!! I'm so old!!! The 1st horn part so fun to play!!

[@ilovesludgeanator4958]

I really want to play it. I really want to play the 1st oboe or sax part. Although I have a great band in high school, we sadly don't have the instrumentation for it as we have a 19 person band.

[@jeremygalsim2484]

Did it just last year with mine :)

[@jakgff5885]

Hahahaha y'all all sounded like ass tho. This is the only good recording without one variation being seriously atrocious. Y'all r like middle schoolers flexing they can play grade 4's, ye u can but not well
