This piece is amazing and I can see the joy on people’s faces even if they aren’t playing. It hits everyone. Grainger is probably one of the most iconic writers in our history.

[@a_rocknrolladdict.0312]

Steven Kyle also one of the most distinctive imo. His music is just so.... Austrailian in some places...

[@mikado1555]

Very nice. One of the few pieces I played on trumpet (I'm a low brass player) in college due to the lack of trumpets that semester

[@glowstickeater618]

I love that the clarinets solo, I play clarinet and enjoy hearing only the clarinets play

[@williamphillips6247]

Love this particular Grainger piece-this is a wonderful performance!

[@zacharywoodward4769]

Amazing

[@jeremiahjarrett5610]

That Contrabasson gives a great bass line in the first part

[@alfpos]

Bravo!

2:03 kudos to the girl adjusting her ligature mid-performance! Could never do that, lol

[@theoriginal1155]

we are playing this piece in band and I have to play the clarinet part. It is soo tiring

[@charlessmith8467]

God...this tempo is all over the place.

[@yesitsmemaya]

I am playing this in middle school, yep it is really hard

[@todayishall3830]

So then you have a prodigy class?

[@stevengwin7370]

Played this in elementary school, third grade if I remember correctly. Takes a little work but not too bad.
