Actually, the intonation of brass is not mostly about the instrument but the people play it. In other words, we control the intonation of the instruments but the instruments control us. However, a terrible instrument may influent the intonation in general.
Very well done! I quite like this piece. John williams is an amazing composer and the soloist here is quite virtuosic and understands the piece to a very high degree. 10 stars from me!
Terrific performance of the JW Tuba Conc. On a separate note, is the conductor son/grandson/nephew of Kurt Sanderling, who made marvellous records in the 50's/60's? Never mind, bravo, Hans! If only I could begin to play the tuba like that!
@@edwardweaver1467 Well that's a pretty new "rule" that emerged in the modern classical music concert hall. People certainly clapped in between movements and even while the musicians are playing during Mozart's day. It does provide a more intimate and uninterrupted musical experience, but also massively cuts back audience participation. Honestly it's a little bit snobbish (at least for certain music).
Shame on other composers ! Here's a genius who not only composes but also plays and knows his instruments well. I can hear lex Luther march and close encounters UFO bleeps.

It's not John Williams playing, it's Hans Nickel. JW is a good pianist and also studied trombone, trumpet and clarinet.
Well spotted, as I've misquoted on this occasion. I did realise this afterwards. Nevertheless JW is still a genius. His non film music is entirely another universe.
Assuming his right pinky is pressing a valve, that would be a total of 5 since his right thumb is definitely pulling a trigger, operating an additional valve (I don't mean any disrespect at all in my response, for all I know, you know way more about this than me). Hans is also an amazing tubist and I know for a fact there's not way I could top any of his performances. Have a good day :)
@@johannbach3253 ah, der kleine Finger ist hinter dem Notenpult versteckt und ich sehe gerade in der Kadenz, es gibt für die rechte Hand einen Trigger. Die Tuba hat auf jedenfall einen wunderbaren singenden Klang
Which probably is the reason why both you and your teacher STILL are playing trumpet... Are you among those who would criticise superb artists for puffing their cheeks, too?
@@tubenhans6190 I don’t play trumpet so much anymore; moved to keys. But no I love dizzy and Louis and the rest of em. Just my old teacher was a stickler for technique ;)
