Carnegie Hall Clarinet Master Class: Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 

he is pretty awesome and it truly is a master class. his analogy fits the music and his music sense is awesome. truly a professional

I like how Wenzel Fuchs allows the student to move his body as he feels the music while he performs. When I was in college my clarinet professor strictly forbade that and I had to play like a statue. He said that moving your body as you play is very unprofessional.

My sister is in the middle school band and just started playing clarinet. She's absolutely terrible. Videos like these actually give me hope that things will get better, and that one day I won't have to listen to that clarinet squeak every five second while I'm trying to do my homework.

I love how he is sharing his experience for playing in the orchestra. Audition is so different from playing in the orchestras!

This is a really fantastic video. One can legitimately hear improvements in the tone and technique of the student from Fuchs' instruction. What a truly educational masterclass.

Yes, please subscribe for updates. We'll post Stefan Schweigert's bassoon master class soon, covering Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 and Shostakovich Symphony No. 9. Also, panel discussions and more! You will find them in any of these playlists: -Berlin Philharmonic Master Class -Weill Music Institute -Masterclasses

Much more than a professional, truly a master.

Fuchs has a great sound, especially considering he's using a plastic reed.

Great job Brian!!!

7:37 is the moment showing what is the difference between a master and a student...

Buen alumno pero exquisito profesor.

2:51 second movement

toca excelente

That's my second cousin!!!! Go Brian!!!

Très intéressant....en plus de l'interprétation, j'aurai bien aimé entendre le maître évoquer le travail sur le son. En effet, le sien est beaucoup plus chaleureux que celui de son élève....normal!

master classes are really dumb cuz every player/conductor etc etc has their own interpetation and no on is right , although there is wrong ways of playing for sure...so this german guy is showing the kid what he likes however, at an audition the conductor may not like that way of playing

フックスさんのクラはすごい。音色も素晴らしいが、3楽章の下降音をあんなに自由自在に吹けるなんて、なんとすごいんだ！

algún día tocare así ;c

아 정신없어 진짜 통일성은 개나줘버리고 아무것도 안느껴지게 분다 푹스

Suoni orribili, tutto da rifare

wow ive always listened to beethoven's symphony number 6 and now i finally get to hear what the clarinet plays which is a very jarring experience for me.

this very master class

2:59 Clarinet Solo

Very good, I really liked it!

Bravo fa meglio l'allievo che il maestro!

love the singing to get the msg across

Thank you very much!!!!

Holdup, is he telling us we can play sorta out of time for the second mvt excerpt?

I am really eager to know what clarinet Wenzel plays as I haven't seen many clarinets where the register key wraps around to the front

Fuchs' Oehler clarinet sounds so much superior to that accursed Boehm. I've always wondered why the Boehm managed to become so widespread. It has a very harsh sound. It sounds like a toy.

WHAT A ****

a neckstrap?

Where could I find the sheet music for this?

Do you have Bassoon Master classes?

yeees thank you so much

Interesting! Hasn't had a lot of performing experience. At least not in the context of the orchestral environment. Even though it feels as if one "blasting", by the time it gets out to the audience, what they hear is seems to them much "smaller". One learns eventually how "big" big has to be to get the listeners involved with drama/beauty/emotional that moment in the work. I know about professor's in that aspect of performing and, unfortunately, they've misconstrued somewhere along the way, that one should be a "statue". How does help feeling the passion? Check out Martin Frost, clarinetist, when he performs. A bit over the top at times, but music isn't math, it's theater. It helps reinforce what the composer is expressing and communicating to the listener. Sorry, just my take on performing.

What brand of clarinet mr fuchs use? It´s germany system I think, but I don´t know the brand.

Why sitting ?

but where do you breathe????? in the first part he plays

I can't really imagine a clarinet playing agitato xD

BRIAN, OLHA O GINGADO!!!

The student needs to work on his embrouchure.

Get a new teacher then.

I really ... have never cared for Mr. Fuchs's sound, or that of most German clarinetists. It seems so dry? Not terribly resonant, almost as if the sound comes more from the reed than the rest of the instrument. Or something that I can't quite put my finger on ....

I think the first guy sounds better... not the one wearing glasses he needs to practice more on tone.

Why do instructors always have to look at the students mistakes only? Praise the student for having a beautiful tone and execution.. He's doing a fantastic job!
