For someone who had to learn this and the tones in and out for nyssma you are incredible and this is way more peaceful than I could ever play it props to u
Jon, thanks for posting - I enjoyed your performance, I picked up saxophone a little over 1-year ago after over a 30 year break - this piece is inspirational - something I can strive for with a great role model!
Hey Terrence, thanks so much, I am humbled by your kind words! Yeah this piece is so beautiful. It’s so great to hear that you picked up the sax again after all those years. I wish you the best of luck and if you ever have any questions feel free to contact me. Jonpereiramusic@gmail.com
Hola Jon, quería darte las gracias. Recuerdas a la gente cuál es el objetivo principal de la musica. Transmitir emociones. Ahora por tu culpa tengo que tocar este tema en la boda de mi hermana. 😂. Valoro mucho como tocas. Un abrazo máquina.
Beautiful. Congratulations. I study your sheet music to learn the dinamics. But I also need to know the BPM's. Could You tell me? Your image is over and doesn't show it. Thank You !!!
Hi Jon, what a great piece! I am having a bit of trouble on bar 12, linking the b with c# as smooth as you did. Could you please give me any tips? Your tone is outstanding by the way! Thank you
Sociable Misanthrope Thanks so much! Yeah I agree, this piece is great! About measure 12, I would check that your embouchure is not too tight and make sure that your bottom lip is not applying too much pressure on the reed. You’re embouchure should be firm but relaxed meaning that your top teeth are biting down on the mouthpiece, the corners of your mouth are supportive against the mouthpiece and a relaxed bottom lip against the reed (that should be in a neutral position, not tucked in nor sticking out). Also make sure that your air is nice and supportive. Try practicing that measure playing the E G B C# D slowly many times thinking about your embouchure and air flow. It may take a while to get it smooth but don’t give up and stay patient!
@@jonpereiramusic4376 Thank you for taking the time to reply back to me. I will make sure to watch my embouchure next time. Your vids are great, keep them coming!
Hi! breath marks in general are very tricky, and depending of the skill level of the player it can be a frustrating. I recommend treating the breath marks as part of the practicing of the piece. Just like you would practice the correct notes, rhythms, articulations, dynamics, also make sure the breathing at certain spots in the piece is also practiced. Also the tempo that you take the piece as can impact how many times you will need to breathe. Make sure that your breath is quick and deep on phrases that don’t have much time for a breath mark. I hope that helps!
Jon, very nice setting. I remember doing this back in college (mid 1960s ) But we didn't have pre-made backgrounds to use. What I don't remember is the final three measures of this setting. Those aren't really Bach's there, are they?
@@jonpereiramusic4376 Jon, I just dug out the arrangement I played back then. It's a Sigurd Rascher arrangement, 1938 Copyright by Chappell, same key as the Larry Teal (1#) and does have a slightly different ending. Ends on a Dominant chord (written D) like it was going to transition to another section of the Cantata. I've listener to a couple other renditions of this Prelude and there seem to be a number of different endings depending on the soloists intentions. I'm sure Bach doesn't mind. Cheer, I'm lovin' your site!
Thank you for pisting this. My band director told me to listen to more songs from the Baroque Era. I found this one it was so calming and beautiful 😍

Just amazing 👏..how can I get this sheet music please.
Preciosa interpretación, podrías decirme donde descargar el baking track y la partitura..? Un saludo compañero desde Madrid.
That's great! Do you have the track without the melody so fellow sax players can play along? Cheers
Someone in my NMEA workshop did this piece, and I thought it was very beautiful. Honestly I think you do way better than him lol.
Ty! 😜
Muy linda interpretacion! Dónde puedo conseguir la pista de piano sola? gracias
Thanks! email me: Jonpereiramusic@gmail.com
@@jonpereiramusic4376 te escribo muchas gracias
Where did you find this peace at? I need to play a solo for school and this one sounds interesting!
I'm using this for my solo and ensemble, any tips in general or for making sure the breath marks aren't too prevalent?

Hey Gary, good question! I’m not sure about the last measures, l have to do some research and find out! Thanks
