The Many Carnivals of Venice

[@andrewweirny]

Cabbage. The vegetable invented by the great New Zealand botanist Johann Sebastian Del Monte.

[@FacePomagranate]

There was a wonderful farmer's market at the Carnival of Venice where I purchased some cabbage.

[@jimmyfinkk]

now that you say that, I'm pretty sure I remember purchasing something there too 🤔

[@d.schoepflin2247]

Was is cabbage or coleslaw?

[@louisdawes2337]

If there were lyrics, this should be one of the lines

[@selbatsfam02]

Excellent playing Trent, you really undersell yourself Edit: cabbage

[@tubadylan]

I love all of those arrangements! I’m so glad you covered all of the New Zealand greats!

[@pharmdiddy5120]

I got to see Allen Vizzutti live a couple times! He is an absolute technical marvel

[@alexcarter8807]

He's Mr. Relaxed.

[@yaschaeffer]

“Cabbage of Venus.” Played using Brussels sprouts.

[@tonydelamont1406]

Hi, I'm a long lapsed tuba player just taking it back up and I love your channel. Very informative and low key funny. Keep up the good work!

[@tonydelamont1406]

Cabbage!

[@1953-j3x]

It’s cabbage

[@thrwawyacct]

I loved playing the Arban's version of this tune when I was in High School. It's a solo, but I think it would make a great concerto.

[@JJLof]

I can see the effort that went into making this video. Thank you, Trent!

[@snoproblem]

12:45 The version showing here appears like it was written by someone whose puppy was run over by an entire brass marching band, and the music is their act of vengeance. EDIT: CABBAGE!

[@lapiswake6583]

Cabbage I've only attempted the Arban version, and I should practice it some more...

[@jacobruiz97]

I've tried it. It's too hard

[@Qualkkuno]

I love these videos, keep up the great work, I can't wait for all of your 2020 videos!

[@cktrumpet]

I always enjoy your videos - your're hilarious, informative, and execute everything nicely. This one was definitely an undertaking, and I'm proud of you for doing it. Also, cabbage.

[@annikamcphearson]

Cabbage. Honestly you did a superb job of playing everything and I envy your restraint in the end. Consequently I have been inspired to fumble with my cornet once more

[@rodrodriguez460]

Yay, Mr. Hamilton! I always enjoy your presentations and talented performances.

[@ethanspradling]

The Carnival of Venice is one of my favorite pieces of cabbage out there to play.

[@srajfnly2]

GREAT VIDEO TRENT AND HAPPY NEW YEARS

[@d.schoepflin2247]

Thanks Trent! I Enjoy playing the baritone to much to do all the research and demonstration you've done for this video! Thanks Again, Dan

[@ferretyluv]

I don’t remember who wrote them, but I had to memorize a few variations for flute. One of them had a really fast cadenza that was basically a bunch of scale runs. One of them was definitely 10:07 and another was 11:08. The octave jumps one we had to do as well. There was a trick of the embouchure where you basically blow super hard to get the high note quickly, even if you’re fingering the low note. Also, cabbage.

[@jerrybyers2172]

That was absolutely amazing! I like old man Arban's arrangement the best, because in addition to being technically challenging, it is also melodic and pleasant to listen to. (And it is a version I can play). Some of the others are painful to play, and painful to listen to.

[@tg509]

Murphy's law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Cole's law: thinly sliced cabbage!

[@mattthompson2075]

Two years later: Cabbage. I love your videos and your collection, but the tasteful humor is what keeps me coming back haha

[@huskidawgs]

CABBAGE! Fantastic stuff, Trent. I'm appreciating your videos from Green Valley, Arizona, where in July it is summer here and 106º. Thank you.

[@trinitylimerock]

Cabbage, of course! My dad, who was a Union trumpet player in New York City back in the 1920s, used to keep leaving my copy of Arban's Method open to Carnival of Venice when I was growing up just to annoy me, I think. He couldn't play it anymore, and I never got to the point where I could play it credibly. Now, at age 81, I have picked up the cornet again, and am having fun with ... wait for it ... Arban's Carnival of Venice. It was great to watch the video -- I had no idea any of the other versions existed! Thank you!

[@louisfaiers3379]

Cabbage...... What a genuinely good vid.. finally nice to see a KZbinr with a bit of humility

[@johnbryant2321]

Very entertaining and educational. Love your descriptive delivery and wonderful playing. Thanks Trent.

[@gneveln]

The great trumpeter Rafael Mendez played his version with one finger. Naturally the trumpeters in my band were pitifully trying that before the concert that featured Rafael as our soloist and he snuck up on us during our feeble attempts. What a nice guy! He joined us for pizza and cabbage after the concert.

[@garryhopkins]

Well done with the Vizutti theme! I had not realised so many classical masters hailed from the “Land of the Long White Cloud”. Fascinating!

[@JoeCorll]

Cabbage! This was fascinating! I once attempted to teach myself the Clarke version of CoV over the course of 3-4 years, but never had the chance to perform the entire thing. I always wondered what the differences are in all the versions. Great job!

[@jakebahulse894]

Cabbage, what a player you are Trent. You are also so humble and it's really amazing to watch

[@richturc]

Corned beef and CABBAGE are great together; same goes for your videos and artistry....also great. Thanks!

[@johnelwer3633]

Deep thoughts: We buried him so he's probably also not with us. Cabbage.

[@tdarst3]

I love corned beef and cabbage. This vid made me laugh! Thanks

[@srajfnly2]

GREAT VIDEO TRENT AND HAPPY NEW YEARS (CABBAGE)

[@dyergraeme123]

Well played Trent, Good playing can I suggest a video on how you developed your ability to play high register and how you maintain it. Cabbage and happy New Year

[@amsmithonline]

Cabbage: both the music and the vegetable - my hat is off to you for even trying. Happy New Year

[@lotsabirds]

Cabbage. And the duet from the Pearl Fishers is without question one of my favorite to sing. Perfect for two horns. Anyway, this was a brilliant video! Incredibly well played and totally points out why vocalists are gobsmacked by instrumentalists!

[@scootermdepotscooter172]

Cabbage! I'm working through the backlog of your videos, having just recently found your channel. Started playing tuba 45 years ago and haven't been the same since!

[@pharmdiddy5120]

Dude! You're killin it 💪 how long did you work on these versions? Don't tell me you just picked em up and played em for us cold

[@hughpenner1417]

Eric Rakes what about cabbage?

[@GaryBadger]

Cabbage. Amazing work by you, Trent. Thank you for sharing it!

[@sgreatwood]

Eating a cabbage whilst listening to you nail some of Venus!

[@emiliojosebrugger9604]

Cabbage, I love how you looked back as you achieved to play the last note on minute 14.58!

[@vidiupload4174]

Don't sell yourself short; you're a pleasure to listen to, and your comments are far more satisfying than cabbage.

[@dawidspangenberg4699]

But as many have said, you are a bloody genius. I would not be able to come up to your standard in a million years.

[@d.h.shearer2206]

Cabbage. My brother played the Staigers version with full band accompaniment as a junior in high school. He was amazing. It broke our band director's heart when he turned down music scholarships to prepare for the ministry. All in all, he made the right choice for him.

[@LarryShone]

Cabbage. What a bonkers set of variations, kudos to you to even attempting them!

[@samdehaan7394]

I guess I’m a cabbage. Haven’t played Carnival in years although I did really only stick to Arban and Clarke when I did. Hats off to you Trent for the performances and any of that last version. Reminded me a little of a particular trumpet concerto with horrific intervals. Great as a technical piece to really show off ability but then starts to lose any listeners enjoyment due to it complexity.

[@dallas1179]

Enjoyed a journey through the cabbage while watching this!

[@cmw12]

Trent, I commented recently that many of your performances in these videos seem rushed. That is NOT the case here. Your tone is lovely, and your phrasing is sensitive and musical. Beautiful. I can tell the Euphonium is your main instrument.

[@billc.2873]

Cabbage. Learned some things about a favorite piece. Thank-you.

[@snorp4203]

Nothing goes better together than brass, Italian folk music, and cabbage. I call that an average Friday night

[@jimdevlin9045]

Great stuff, Trent. very interesting.

[@mattuiop]

Cabbage. Basically of you can play arban you're a great player ready for most music. If you can play all the various versions of this perfectly you're ready for all music.

[@sled_everything]

Nothing like listening to Carnival of Venice while eating a cabbage!

[@realguy5066]

Brilliant Mr. Hamilton!!

[@moisesmdelima]

this was another great video brought to by cabbage. Amazing work as usual

[@vimsa55]

Cabbage!! 😁😁 I couldnt possibly stop watching once Ive started! 🤩🤩

[@tonymcgrath8065]

Took me about 10 months to watch this but the ending was worth the cabbage.

[@adent61]

Amazing. Thanks.

[@oldman719]

CABBAGE....excellent playing Trent...excellent.

[@thetato1273]

2:01 who is cabbage

[@cetologist]

Trent is the best!

[@hellojkjazz]

Cabbage. Love your videos! Keep up the most excellent work! :)

[@AluminumFool]

[@kathywhite2596]

cabbage. Thank you from Pittsburgh, PA

[@charlesfrishman231]

Cabbage. Awesome job, Trent!

[@larrymartin1580]

Cabbage. I think that's what you said. I watched it to the end. Very interesting!

[@jerrygonzalez3488]

Cabbage 5:20 when you try flight of the bumblebee for the first time

[@jeremymarks8228]

Neutron Yt why is everyone putting cabbage

[@petersage5157]

Cabbage. I'd forgotten about the pieces I was encouraged to play as a High School band student that were rated by, and specifically written for, difficulty level. While they are great for improving proficiency on an instrument, they make up for their difficulty with a complete lack of musicality. Between the Arban cornet variations and the Vizzutti, which would you expect the typical concert audience to appreciate?

[@WasatchSasquatchUtah]

Niccolo Paganini (Italian), Franz Liszt (Hungarian)...I had no idea there were New Zealander counterparts, Nick Paganini and Frank Liszt, you sure about all that?!

[@mal2ksc]

Shh, it's a "controversy", one of Frank Liszt's parents was from _Australia!_ Don't draw any more attention to it!

[@hughpenner1417]

Cabbage

[@bun-bun5623]

Hes just joking

[@alexcarter8807]

No lie, the first time I had cabbage, my thought was, "Where's this stuff been all my life? It's great!"

[@josephrichards3067]

Cabbage. Very well played Trent!

[@asukahasegawa]

Cabbage. This video made me want to die like I was fourteen again.

[@benlapointe4028]

This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Cabbage.

[@harrysemple9770]

always appreciate a good video to eat cabbage to

[@ROBERTHOCKER]

I was a professional trombonist and I could never play the baritone piece.it had 64th note runs that were extremely high to extremely low notes. I can't remember the notes exactly but it ran up to 5 lines above the top to a jump down to 5 lines below the bottom.

[@willemkossen]

I found this edifying and entertaining. New Zealand had some great composers. Suggestion: the great New Zealand composer Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck composed this little piece called Fantasia Chromatica, that i would love to hear a brass arrangement of. Wouldnt that be great? There is no cabbage in that composition, but there couldve been.

[@mesabombadjedi3821]

Amazing playing! For a cabbage that is!

[@dingusdingus2152]

Herbert Clarke was a featured cornet soloist with the John Philip Sousa band. It is said that women would swoon upon hearing him play, but that may only be because their corsets were too tight. Women don't swoon much anymore, however

[@Epulor1]

Nice vid! I played (attempted) the Clarke version in college around 1989 and after seeing this I may just bust it out again. Cabbage. Cabbages for everyone!

[@phillipbrander3545]

I found it quite interesting. I have a version by H.Round from when I played trumpet 50yrs ago. Recently taken the trumpet up again but now as a rank beginner to play to that level again is still a way off. I really enjoy your videos. BTW:-You have a great collection of instruments.

[@spuddart3540]

I play the Round version too. I got it at the start of lockdown in march to keep me busy

[@tubadylan]

The longer the variation, the better!

[@samnaumets1201]

trenty boi back at it again

[@olaf421]

Correct me if Im wrong but are you a little bit obsessed with the carnival? I feel like you have talked about it multiple times on this channel (which is not bad in any way) I was just wondering if there is anything special about that song in paricular Great playing btw, especially at the end

[@WarrenGill]

Enjoyed this one very much! Cabbage.

[@billbohlen9700]

You forgot to mention the third New Zealand composer Trevor Wagner who may also have written another variation in collaboration with Colin TePussy, not sure about that. I am very impressed with your playing and I must say, as a former brass players ( about 100 years ago), I love all your videos.

[@ROBERTHOCKER]

I had a sheet of carnival of Venice that I don't think anyone could ever play. It was written for baritone but I bought it for trombone. It was about 4 pages long. I want to get another copy of it.

[@Android_Warrior]

Cabbage. I have "survived" this awesome video.

[@RainingCord922]

Cabbage always steals the show in a good soup.

[@newclarence]

A pox on all doubters - Trent kills. Cole slaw, sauerkraut, and oh yeah - cabbage!

[@JasonGeddie]

Dude that long triple tonging section was so clean, nice work!! P.S. cabbage

[@scarroll451]

cabbage! and bravo! i have loved this piece since i first heard the amazing wynton marsalis knock it out of the park in a recording from around 1990. have you heard it?

[@saxguytony]

Cabbage. I'm a jazz sax player, but love your videos Trent! BTW, Vizzuti is one hell of a player, eh?

[@bubbleofa8444]

Carnival of Vienna

[@bun-bun5623]

Cabbage. Very good video and explanation.

[@SubKontraBas]

Cabbage! Brilliant take on the subject matter!

[@Markworth]

I'm trying to figure out what sort of instrument that Vizzuti mess is even targeting. 3 octaves is pretty steep to expect anything remotely musical from most instruments, let alone the players. I guess maybe one of the handful of studs that still plays Eb Trumpet could have a go at it. I can eek out about 3.5 octaves on one of those, but it doesn't take long for 3.5 to turn into 2.5. Also, do you think cabbage would make a good Euphonium mute?

[@pugandblizzard]

Wow, that last version by Alan "Cabbage Man" Vizzutti is intimidating.

[@garyjackson2890]

Cabbage. I think you gave that last version a pretty good go. Well done.
