Of all of the music I played in band somehow this simple, repetitive piece stands out. Years later I can still hum it from memory and it gets it stuck in my head from time to time. What a great piece of music that was a joy to play

[@tubadyne]

Oh boy do I love playing tuba. I love downbeats so much...

[@anaiyaht3908]

Same here!

[@gracegorman3306]

Meh. I play bass clarinet. I like the up ones better.

[@CHG99]

Lmao... i play trombone, which for the most parts is the off beats. (Except for my short solo)

[@lovermuzak]

I must say the tuba player In This recording was good

[@jordansc9138]

[@TheMaidOfMentality]

ME TOO

[@Megawatt514]

The horn part in this song is amazing. You can just bob along on the downbeats

[@jaceritchie7948]

Jesus christ i just had this THRUST back into my memories after so many years. I love this piece, as a tenor saxist who had to play the trombone solo bc we didnt have trombones. I. LOVE. THIS. PIECE.

[@werhaha7103]

The french horn part absolutely takes out your chops

[@kittywrath6121]

the first thing i learned on mallets, always a favorite

Accidentally came upon this. My marching band used this one year, lol.

Was supposed to play this for our Prom last schoolyear, the missed opportunies, the memories, it all comes back whenever I hear this piece.

The trombone solo was cool i enjoyed playing it

[@caioamado1892]

Alto Sax too i loved playing it

[@CHG99]

Also trombone, the recording is in youtube too. Though its my highschool band so the quality is meh

[@whoregasm469]

lol the person that was playing that solo wasnt playimg loud enough so they made me do it with him, a euphonium

[@braedenalberstein5128]

I’m a trombone player, but I honestly wish it wasn’t a trombone solo. I wish it were a Euphonium solo. Trombones are generally too sloppy.

I love this piece so much!!! I’m so excited for this!

Shostakovich is a brilliant representative of the fine, generously gifted section of the Russian intelligentsia. Deep gratitude to the LORD, for every perfect gift comes from Him! Hallelujah!

[@Stixel]

Shostakovitch was atheist, he doesn't believe in God, it would be nice if you stopped bringing religion into everything

[@Nitsujy12345]

I listen to this last night, then it played on a TV commercial today. I kept stressing because i could not figure out where i heard the song before, i went crazy before i finally remembered it was your arrangement is where i heard it

[@SeldomPathic]

That happened to me today with an instagram ad!! I had to ask another band friend because I was 2 steps from insanity trying to figure it out. I heard it andd instantly started humming before I dramatically gasped at it 😂

[@brooklynrocks9629]

Got to love the clarinet melodys. My band is doing this and I just love it.

[@MLJJ14]

please tell me im not the only one who came here to listen to the trombone solos so they could learn it🙏

[@fannin8583]

This piece is interesting because even in the original form it is very simple the only change I could really spot was the second tenor saxophone being replaced with the second alto and some of the alto saxophone parts moved down an octave

[@gulaybaykal1363]

I was going to play this on flute, but I left for vacation and a violin had to substitute for my part.

I’m currently learning this on flute, and it’s very fun to play!

Good morning everyone I think that St. Dimitri did very well composing this how they call master piece . 🙂 . Or you think that I'm wrong ?

[@johnries5593]

We should see saxophone parts in more orchestral arrangements than we do.

I wish my school played this. I play oboe. One of the hardest woodwinds

Sheet music please? Parts?

[@Ski-DooSafari]

Ok so hear me out... I'm in 9th grade band, about a third of the class is in it for a "free" credit (they underestimated the difficulty of learning an instrument), but there's a couple people who'd do this. I might try and pick up scraps of the kids who would want to do this. No idea if this'll work as a 9th grader with very little experience on the alto sax but it just sounds so good. I'm gonna' propose the idea as a joke and see where it lands...

[@generaljefe2749]

Is it me or does it sound like it’s in cut time instead of 3/4

[@MrShyguyRS]

El Jefe the 3/4 measures are written in pairings, so it could feel like cut time if the two beats were triplets

[@gracegorman3306]

There's really no such time as 3 anyway. There's only 1. What's important is how that 1 get's subdivided.

[@belvachau5880]

is there any piano sheet for the piano intro?

[@theraginginfernape9496]

Band instructor decided to cut 80 of the trumpet part because the trombones and tuba had it already.

[@yuzh1962]

The name is wrong. This is music written by Shostakovich for the film "the First echelon". Unfortunately this error is widespread on the Internet.

[@I.amthatrealJuan]

Yuzh No, it's correct. The original was indeed a musical piece for that movie but then Shostakovich reworked the piece and orchestration to be included in the Suite for Variety Orchestra. What is a very common mistake is that this is titled as a part of Jazz Suite no. 2 which is an entirely different piece. Blame the wrong credits given by the hit Stanley Kubrick movie "Eyes Wide Shut" for that.

[@sherryurlucky3164]

I got it at YPSO and it’s spelled no 1 not no 2
