      The double tonguing can be considered professional level, but I’m able to do it and no one pays me. As for the 3:32 it is actually easier than the double tonguing. Just practise it slowly and slowly add speed, and learn to play it in a speedier tempo than it actually is played in and that should help play it.

    • @charlieh9894
      @charlieh9894 6 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      the mechanical structure of a clarinet won't allow you do that fast from a lower register note to upper register notes (i.e. B and C) which you need to press the left-hand register key. The recording of the cornet version (which i have listened for many times) cannot even do the variation 4 clearly on every single note; however, the audience can get the idea. Second, I did not say a trombone can do this.

      I mean, for violins, if you know how to shift and bow from the wrist (Ricochet would be for laughs and giggles for some phrases 😝) this would actually be fairly easy. Though in all seriousness, I can't imagine double tounging that fast on a reeded instrument later on in the piece, granted, there would probably be more slurs.
      At the same time, this could be theme and variations as an etude for tonguing to develop ripped tongues😂

I think it was during Variation 3 where you have the long lines of demisemiquavers she managed to turn the page WHILE STILL PLAYING (you have to hold the Euphonium with both hands otherwise it's too much pressure and you'll hurt your hand) and our whole band went ballistic that she pulled it off so effortlessly. She won the soloist bracket. We were all incredibly proud.

    I was practicing this song in the past few days. It is really not impossible, but you probably have to know "La Traviata Fantasia" pretty well before you actually play this. I'd say it is possible to play as good as Musescore does, but it kinda takes a long time.

    ...I used to know how to read that sheet music a few years ago..
    I had a really terrible childhood and I eventually fell into a really deep depression, which led to me losing interest in pretty much everything I did for fun. Except for playing my clarinet.. I actually loved playing instruments so much that I wanted to expand my knowledge and learn as many as possible... so I did. Within 6 months, I had passed every beginner class that my band class had for the Uphonium, Trombone, Oboe, trumpet, and i was working on trying the flute... but all good things eventually come to an end. My freshman year of high school I went into online schooling.. theres no band classes in an online school. I had to give back all the instruments I had rented because I wasn't a student anymore..
    Music was pretty much the only thing I was interested in.. to this day I still wish I could have stayed in public school and achieved all of my goals like I wanted to..
    I ended up just smoking weed 24/7 to fill the hole in my heart caused by music being gone forever..
    Over the years because of my snoop doggin in my early teens I've actually started forgetting shit because my memory has gone to hell.
    One of those things is how to play any instrument at all. 🥲 pain.

    I know this is going to get a lot of hate, but if you keep practicing this adding about 2-3 bpm you can actually get it. The fast parts are actually just arpeggios and scales, and it's a pretty simple key signature so its very doable, just a lot of practice. But I'll have to admit it's not humanlly possible to actually tongue these fast arts. You would have to be bob spring or something (Check out his tonguing excercises)

    • @milansolomaeoin6977
      @milansolomaeoin6977  6 ปีที่แล้ว +59

      Fundamentally, the two are different instruments with different mechanics--the clarinet has (lots of) keys while the trombone only has a slide. This requires almost impossible combinations of alternate fingerings and such that just are no feasible to play at such a fast tempo.

The only challenge I really see has to do with tempo, expression and articulation. Hard to do but not impossible to do single tonguing, far easier to do double. I'd play around with the range too.
