UNT Wind Symphony: Dmitri Shostakovich - Festive Overture, Opus 96 (1954/1965) 

Same but I play the Tenor Sax 🎷

PLEASE - by all means! There are more wonders for you to discover. Shostakovich inspired me too. You won't always find great composers, but you might become one yourself.

@@Aub-dh9ls bro we twins let’s gooooo

The BEAST? LOL NO! Shostakovich was nothing if not balanced.

@@sealyoness you don't get it. shut up, please.

It really does, tho

I meant it sounds really goo

We played it in 8th grade for competition. Sadly, our fantastic band director failed to take into account the plebian, uninspired judges, who had no tolerance for high school/college level music from us blue-collar plebes. We got a SECOND in state. Most of us were crushed. I had never heard us play so well as that day. I have good hearing, stellar pitch (it's genetic, I swear on my life) and I sat surrounded by my peers who played their hearts out. Of course I did too, but they were SO inspired. The judges sucked. We didn't.

I was first chair tuba recentlt in a region band thing and we played this, beautiful piece

@@sealyoness How old are you now?

Except for the key.

What arrangement is this?

Absolutely!!!!!

I just watch the fingering and know that part when I see it. (played it MANY times in concert plus rehearsal! It says 4th, but it should the "If you wanna have some fun" part!@@nosnojrcj

We had a pretty good High School symphonic band. Neither of us baritones (euphoniums) could really play some of those fast lines; we had to fake it. These guys have 4 euphonists who looked and sounded like they could all play it. I guess maybe I shoulda practiced a lot more. I’m so ashamed.

Jeez your middle school must have been one of the best in state. The thought of a middle school band playing this piece at all, let alone well is astonishing

Felt pretty right to me except for the weird accelerando towards the end.

Playing this right now, an I am very glad it is in Ab instead of A because that would be so much harder. Of course I am used to concert band keys and not the keys orchestras usually play in.

Lol doesn't really matter it's just great music and people don't notice it

Please be so kind as to post your “interpretation”. I am looking forward to being enlightened.

Well our interpretation and every other wind ensemble I’ve heard play it is not to put that accelerando in there. I’m not going to download the sheet music to check, but I really don’t remember one being there….

Also I thought you made a bit too much of the ritard at :44. On the other hand, I really liked the diminuendo at 2:06. If it was there when we played it I don’t remember it. Maybe it was but we were just too excited to do it? And I liked the overall tempo. Seemed just right to me. Slower would mean some people couldn’t play it at the right tempo and faster would be just trying to show off which groups frequently do and which really detracts from the performance. Before social media the only people that would comment on your interpretation would be people you knew personally, so they would try to frame their criticisms politely. Now there are musicians all over the world listening to your performances and nobody tries to be polite on the internet. I have a theory that the first performance of a piece that one hears largely determines how you think it “should be” played for the rest of your life. No conductor wants to play a piece the same as every other performance they’ve heard so they make some minor changes. It’s always a risk whether more people or fewer will like your choices and these days you’ll definitely hear from people who don’t like them. More than the people who DO like them I suspect.

Ok question how do you think being able to play good is bad ? Also no because it depends on how much you practice and I've have seen alot of people that are much younger and and can probably beat me in music but the short answer is no and is it just you playing the piece or whole band? Also I'm in 8th

agree, the conductor/MD is not inspired........... he just beats the counts, cashing his 6,000 dollar fee i guess......... 6 minutes playing
