I think that they misunderstood wind and thought it meant woodwind and are angry about the French horn.

[@sharp9150]

this comment got more than 80% of the dislikes on this video

[@jnbplaysgames]

@@hannahreid1549 Yeah, pretty much. Some people don't get that saxophones are relatively young instruments, so in the time period where these woodwind ensembles were popular among composers, there was no alto saxophone to fill in the "alto" voicing. Therefore, they had to write in a horn instead and call it a "Wind quintet" for that reason.

[@RoyADane]

[@motyamer7762]

I'm pretty sure both the horn players are female, while the 2 men are playing the clarinet and flute. Still an amazing composition though. Very beautiful.

[@tiorbinist]

Motya Mer, it is a woodwind quintet, with only one horn (on the right. Going left from her, Bassoon, Clarinet, Oboe, and Flute. The Horn is the oddball, being the only member of the Woodwind Quintet which is technically not a woodwind (it is a brass instrument with a cup mouthpiece, where the woodwind instruments were, historically, made from wood. The Clarinet, Oboe, and Bassoon use reeds, the Flute, just an “embouchure hole”.

[@motcornerbyalisonhasselquist]

Sounds like a full band with even small numbers.

[@arthurdenny8475]

This Quintet is outstandingly rehearsed, many overlook the timing & intimacy in the phasing. The timing, spot on, interplay with a solo brass, spot on. What hit me, was from right to left, the fills near the conclusion, each instrument spoke. Mind you, I just happened upon this, I was blown away. I was into Classical at an early age

In the hands of a pro, yes. With amateur musicians, a euphonium can sound just as beautiful without the cracking notes.

majcrash correct. Beginners, whenever trying to play the same note, pull a Fred and say, “let’s split up, gang.”

[@samwescoat5750]

[@billlange9408]

Jupiter holds such a special place in my heart, and this was an absolutely amazing arrangement of it! I was a tuba player in school, but I always said that if I ever did it again with a different instrument, it would be a French Horn or a Bassoon. Both have such a rich, mellow sound and this really takes advantage of that! Well done!

[@L0R3N23]

As a fellow f. Horn player I’m impressed with her ability to meld perfectly into the woodwind’s tone when needed and also have her brass moments come through to the fore with a nice layered, dynamic tone to complement the rest of the wind arrangement rather than overpowering it.

I’m not familiar with horns. Is her other hand inside the horn to mute it some?

[@samrowley6047]

I know that’s a French Horn. I’m at Music Professor and Conductor my friend. I called this ensemble a “Woodwind Quintet”. In case you didn’t know a woodwind quintet instrumentation consist of the following: clarinet, flute, oboe, French Horn and Bassoon

[@samwescoat5750]

Brendan Roberts you just got your middle school band kid ass handed to you on a brass platter

[@jjh2456]

Sam Rowley but the horn is not a woodwind. It’s a brass instrument. If it were a woodwind quintet, then the horn would be replaced by an alto saxophone.

[@jochanaan58]

Fine playing of an arrangement that mostly captures Jupiter's musical content. I played oboe in a quintet for a number of years. Many people do not realize how physically demanding chamber music is! You have far fewer rests than when playing in an orchestra, and every note is going to be heard, including the clams! That these players make it look easy is credit to countless hours of practice and rehearsal plus native talent and hard-won endurance.

[@ronm3245]

I remember horking up something hard and chunky while playing bassoon in a quintet because the playing was so demanding. It happened just that once. To this day I have no idea what it was or which body cavity it came from.
