Like if this is what you get all the time from being a euphonium player: "What instrument is that?" "A euphonium" "Whats that?' "It's like a small tuba.."
OOOH I live for this! Euphonium is given little to no credit. There are countless times when I've been asked what I play because my mouthpiece is on the table and they either guess Trumpet or Tuba and I have to control myself to not choke them. Let's go Euphoniums (or baritones stfu).

Anyone who gave this a "thumbs down" must be some kind of anti-euphonium zealot...let me guess...trumpet players? Flute players? Timpanists? Kazoo aficionados? You guys always *were* jealous of the single BEST instrument in the band! ;-)
This guy is an insane player. Im decent at euphonium and have been playing for about 5 schools years now but im not even close to this guy's incredible skill!
Was just showing my coworker this as an illustration on how the Euphonium is played, as I played it in High School years ago. Mr Childs is insane! A delight to hear him play!
I have been playing the euphonium for about 2 years and my teacher always says when I struggle to play a piece that even David Childs was at the level I am at now at some point and I find that hard to believe.😃
+Aimee Guest It's true! I've been playing euphonium for 20 years, and trumpet for 10 years before that. And while I'll probably never be at the level David Childs is at, I'm still a pretty good player. But when I started out, I didn't sound nearly as good and struggled at times. All it takes is practice.
euphgeek any tips to improve performance? I am a freshman in high school and have been playing since fourth grade, but I hope to greatly improve in coming years? Any general tips or tricks to improve things like range or endurance?

Abel Aguilar Its kinda funny. We try so hard in school for band and arguably more time and effort than in individual subjects in school yet dont pursue careers in music. This for majority of school students not everyone.
Well I agree to you esteratelescu that singing this would be very difficulta and I even think that it would be impossible to do it :D, but playing this is also very difficult :D:D P.S Got it? :D
I saw a couple awesome college students (I'm sure at least one of them was in college) perform the Carnival of Venice on euphonium and it was so awesome I had to listen to it again.
a baritone is a bellfront horn (the ones you usually see on the field i.e a marching band) a euphonium is what david childs plays, its used in concert (sit down music) and also most of the time parade. i am a baritonist/euponist myself and i have played for 5 6 years (almost half my life)its a very beautiful instrument and it will be my majoring instrument. oh right, uh well i hope my answer helped. also, since a euphonium is a concert horn it has a softer sound to it. . .
I play Euphonium and played a simplified version of this song for judges when I was just barely 12 years old. I'm 13 now and playing College level pieces and this still blows my mind!
Growing up I learned Bb Trumpet. It wasn't until much later did I learn about the baritone/euphonium horn. I love the warm sound they produce, and I decided to try one out. The transition was not too hard and I had a great time playing it in a small band. What a great instrument.
@@jennatulls9225 Another thing is that since the air goes through more tubing than say, a trombone, there's a lot more resistance when trying to play loud.
OMG I was there.. It was fantastic, brilliant and very cold when the sun went down.. but what a fabulous evening... Fan-taz-ma-gor-ical... *grinning like a Cheshire cat now * I evfen heard myself whopoin' at the end.. Tee hee ...:0)x
*Dies in awe* I am currently trying to play and or accomplish playing this piece. Right now with lack of experience I may not be able to play it perfectly as he clearly did, but at least when I can play it the way I want to, I can say I did it and I did it well. Like I say my lack of experience because I am only a 15 year old. I will play this piece, whether I like it or not. It will get done!!! You did oh so amazing at that piece!!!! I shall study your techniques and try simular!! Thankyou!!!#

@guitarhero1346 too true...too true...and not enough places to play beautiful euphonium solos over here either....I miss high school (but only a little)
I pooped my pants with those valveless glissandos at 2:50 and 4:03. What an amazing tone! the fourth variation was so nice and distinct with the low notes!
LOL SAME HERE :D I recently changed from trumpet (after playing it for 10 years) due to consistent embouchure problems, and that's the first conversation I had with my Mum hahaha
2:46 sounds like the tuba is saying, "Wee haw!" haha, I love how he makes that instrument sing. :) Captures the texture of Paganini's piece beautifully.
You didn't understand the point of my comparison. It has nothing to do with how widely used they are, but with physical characteristics. Euphoniums and flugelhorns (and tubas, and French horns) have conical bores. Baritones and trumpets (and trombones, and flutes) have cylindrical bores. See the Wikipedia "Bore (wind instruments)" article for a definition.
