I’m not a musician and have not idea what’s going on, however I fucking love this channel as fan of classical music. Their facial expressions are so priceless LOL!

@@manuelfrancisco5113 In a lot of music orchestral music brass players often get 2 maybe 4 notes in an entire 45 minute long sonata. So their entire job is to count. Literally 1..2...3...4....1...2...3...4 and do that the number of times so that they enter those 2-4 notes on time. So most of the performance they are literally just sitting in place counting. So if you mess up those 2 - 4 notes like Bret and eddy BOTH times it is going to be VERY noticeable. Especially because a lot of people are in the orchestra are going to be thinking "you had 1 easy job and you failed." But that's why you practice. You got to be just as good at waiting as you are at playing to last in an orchestra. And make no mistake, waiting can be screwed up easily especially if you aren't paying attention and lul yourself into a false sense of security of having 4 easy notes 23 minutes into the piece.

Truth. It actually takes, you know, learning all of the damned music, not just the sheet in front of you. Want to know what's going on musically in an orchestra? Ask the trombone players. We know because we have no other choice but to know.

Come on... The conductor cues you in

Once you get the feeling of the music, you know where to come in. That’s how I think of it

Justin Miller just listen to the trumpets that’s all I do

Spoode Burly hahaahahahahahahahahahahahaa

When you're a brass player, and a violist....

@@maples5875 ouch

It takes some getting used to but I will say this: as a bass trombone player I usually get paid the most per note!

If you're a baritone/euphonium player then 3x ouch@@maples5875

IDK the brass section is a show stealer whenever they are given the chance, think a lot of John Williams music like the Star Wars theme (yes I’m uncultured in classical music and can’t list any good examples of the top of my head)

Yes, first violinists are like kids on a sugar high that don't know when to stop.

It’s just a joke. You know that. ☺️

Rests are boring. :(

I love the brass gang humor! 😂

This weirdly makes me think of a scene from an anime for some reason, where the old bearded karate master is just staring at his student disappointedly in silence.

facts. a little disappointed they didn't show off some good brass pieces. the joke was fun at first but got old after a couple levels.

Oh we all were there... Makes you really ask yourself why not to play in an orchestra without strings :D

@@phi_frd2295 I was playing trombone in a school symphonic band, clarinets and flutes often take the melody. So even trombonists play in an orchestra without strings, we still need to count bars:'D

True that

I feel you

Bastian Junker violas be like : "YOU GUYS GET PAID ??!"

OOOHHHHHHHHH

I think it’s because there are less brass players than violin players so they don’t have to pay as much of them and normally it’s 1 on a part for the brass players. I play trumpet and in orchestra it’s normally just 3 trumpets in the orchestra

@@LEMONZEBRA554 Yes Brass Players mostly have things to play that not so many other players have to play. Violins all kind of play the same.

@@haroldcook8441 violinist: umm lol okay

Here's a little secret: Brass players just develop a "sixth sense" (instinct) that tells us when to play because counting notes gets boring fast. But, if we're feeling lazy, we just ask the conductor to cue us in.

Quite true

underappreciated comment

@@SomeDude.1117 Very.

omg--

@@SomeDude.1117 Yup, very much so. I can't believe Eddy didn't know the beginning of Mozart's Requiem and counted it in double speed. Yikes!

Especially when the cellos can't get their part right a single time so you just sit there for an our listening to the same mistakes being repeated perpetually

Rasmus Sedenmalm Porali YES!! Even I, a violinist, can relate to this part

trombones: *huge breath in* Conductor: okay, stop, now violins, that note in the.... trombones: *slow dramatic breath out again*

this is why i stopped doing symphonic orchestras in high school, every rehearsal was spent listening to the director telling the strings what to do and half the time the string players would just keep talking through pauses anyway

Until you put the euph near a real brass instrument like the trombone

As a trombonist, that really hurt ;((

But you can count. And they obv no haha. ♥️

As an euphonist that hurts even more even in concert band our parts r too underrated and nobody knows we are playing it🤦🏻‍♀️

Yet we are in all of the best orchestral pieces :)

Lol.. in in band music sometimes hehe

Ah but you see, if I don’t, you will never know the answer. It will remain a mystery

There's no fortissimo like a brass fortissimo anyway

My fortissimo made me half deaf

But it is not that they can do anything for it...the composers just wrote it that way. And if you look at the number of players. There are like 30 violin players and only 3-4 trumpets. It is much harder to get a job as a orchestral brass player and you have to be really good...

It's ok though, we all know pep and marching band are superior and violins are too scared to get their instruments scuffed. ;)

Kilajuk lol yeah, try playing a violin running all over the place

Yes.

They have to answer him.

davie must be so disappointed. as if twoset don't even cares anymore. he probably feel very lonely after so much effort he put on the diss track.

They’re so elite they dont even notice

wan nabil oof

I recommend the trumpet parts to the 1st or 4th movement of Beach's Gaelic Symphony. Allegro, transposing up a P4, accidentals everywhere, portions of it that are very exposed - it's a recipe for sight-reading disaster.

Could you enlighten me on why you need to transpose so much? As a flute player I never had to transpose myself. Everything is written the same.

@@carlosgabriel8243 Trumpet is a B-flat instrument. Flute is in concert pitch. Imagine having to play everything a whole step higher than written. I'm assuming OP is referring to music not already transposed for Bb Trumpet, though I imagine professional musicians (not me) are expected to be able to transpose on demand anyway..

Carlos Gabriel The first trumpets utilized in the orchestra were natural trumpets with no valves; they played exclusively on the natural harmonic series of the instrument. Most were in the key of D, and then added sections of tubing (called crooks) to the mouthpiece end to lower it into different keys. All the trumpet (and horn) parts were written with no key signature, and “C” was always the tonic of whatever key the piece was in. When the valved instruments were introduced, most composers continued writing the way they always had, in “C”, and a note of the key. So trumpet and horn players have to transpose or switch instruments. It’s better to simply learn how to transpose in your head, than to switch instruments, because most “special” key trumpets have 2 sets of slides a half-step apart so you can own fewer horns, but if the piece changes from one of those keys (i.e. D) to the other (E-flat) within a couple of measures (Wagner liked to do this; Mahler too), you don’t have time to switch out the slides. Most trumpet players today play on C trumpet, B-flat trumpet, and have an A/B-flat piccolo trumpet for Baroque clarino parts (think Bach Brandenburg #2, although most trumpet players use a G piccolo trumpet for that one). I know a lot of trumpet players who play pretty mich everything on C trumpet, including parts for B-flat trumpets. Most horn parts are transposed into F, so horn players don’t typically have to transpose as frequently as trumpets. Trombones rarely transpose keys, but do have to know tenor clef. Tubas transpose even less frequently, and I don’t think they use tenor clef (tuba friends, please correct me if I’m wrong here). Hope my long-winded comment clarifies! (Edited for spelling)

@@trumpetmom8924 Well, tubas don't transpose per se, but if you play multiple tubas in different keys you have to learn different fingerings to play the same part. Commonly, professional players would have a CC contrabass tuba along with a bass tuba in Eb or F and use the one they feel is more appropriate for the particular piece. Think British Brass Bands are an exception as their parts are transposed to treble clef and have parts for both Eb & BBb tuba. Additionally, an orchestra trombonist may need to be able to read alto clef for some alto trombone parts even if still played on tenor.

Haha! This is so true!

Honestly. It's like I have ten measures and all of them are insane

I play trombone in orchestra. Once need to count 120 measures and the first note after the rest is a high note with ppp. Luckily the 120 measures are easily recognized as 3 paragraphs. My friend plays percussion and needs to wait for 250 or more and play a very significant triangle "ding" at the last bit of the song. I don't know how she managed to "ding" it. Crazy!!

When you're a triangle Ding Ding, you have to rest 40 hours a day!

As a freshman at university (as a trumpet player), there was one piece where I was not assigned to play, but I sat in on rehearsal, waiting for the next piece I played on to be rehearsed. My director, short one percussionist, looked at me and said, “Go play the chime part.” I thought, “how hard could this be?” The part was in 5/8 or 5/4, which wasn’t really the problem. I’m only 5 feet tall- I couldn’t see around the chimes, certainly not through them, and so I had to angle them “*just so* to be able to see the conductor. Then we had a guest conductor for the concert and I had to readjust everything because of the concert hall layout. Talk about sheer terror in the percussion section. 😖

Easy, because the violin has the same fingerings as the tuba.

Forgiven Sinner tubist: *exists* Violinist: so this is the same fingerling as violin

@@AndyZach no they don't

same. i bring a book and memorize about 4-8 bars before I come in again

Plus I'd really like to see them have a go at marching -Properly, not just walking around - and playing a brass instrument! I suspect they'd even have a hard time marching and playing violin. It's not an easy thing to do. Just wanna give respect to all the brass players out there!🎺🎷📯

@@catandcaboodle6492 you are joking right? “I suspect they would have a hard time” dude they are violinists. Take a look at your local marching band and if you see a violinist over there. The reason is because I was never designed with that in mind, while most brass instruments are.

that's why I only do concert band - it's good music and I get to play solos and whatnot fairly often I will say, though, one thing that string players may not understand about brass instruments is how weird it is to start playing from silence - as a trumpet player for 7 years, I'm used to it, but keeping your lips in position for the correct partial before actually playing a note is somewhat difficult tl;dr: I hate having to stop playing and then start again, so I only ever do concert/jazz band to avoid it

Fr it was funny but I wish they'd do another one with actual brass music
