Probably the best interpretation I've heard! Thanks to Gordon too, modern pieces shoul all be like this! peaceful, calm, interesting themes and harmonies.. LOVE IT
Always enjoy coming back to your vids Eric. As always you are a great point of reference. Great playing. Miss the good ole days with you buddy! I hope to see you again soon.
I performed this today for my region solo and ensemble contest as a junior in high school, and I received a superior rating and I'm headed to state contest in May! Thanks for such a perfect reference video! I tried to mimic your performance as much as I could :)
is this solo hard ? i'm most likely going to play this solo this year for state. i've watched this video so many times and idkk what to expect from this solo
A very good choice of music for showing your skills, Eric. Sounds just great to me; it's often difficult to convey a good rendition of the sound on RU-vid clips, so well done, and all power to your elbows!
Hey i'm working this piece and i have a question about that octave change in 4:17 after the choral part, in this performance Eric Scherer played an octave bellow what it's written. I´ve seen other players doing the same thing and i just wanted to know if it´s that an option or if it could be just on the edtition of the score... Any help will be very apreciated! :)
question. what grip do you suggest for this solo? burton, stevens, or traditional? I'm a sophomore in highschool and am intending to learn this solo probably this upcoming summer, and ive seen it done multiple ways. thanks! You played it spot on.
Thanks! I used 2 Audio Technica 2035 microphones. They were placed about 3 feet above the instrument at equal distances. One of the best tools for manipulating the sound of the instrument is a multipressor. It is essentially a compressor but it allows you to compress specific frequencies rather than all of them. This tool allows me to possess more control over the amount of slap and sub bass. I may have went a little overboard on this recording. lol
+Eric Scherer The Zeltsman's are great! Encore really does a good job at bringing out the fundamental note in the bar and reducing unwanted overtones. Very clear. Good performance!
Eric Scherer what made you switch grips? Just curious. I started with Stevens but have always wondered a little bit if a cross grip would have been better.
This performance is great, and nearly flawless, but at 4:34 on the descending line you play 2 consecutive F#'s, but it's actually an F# followed by an A. Other than that, this is a fantastic performance.
