Described this to my non-musical friend as “when you’re putting butter on a warm bagel and the butter is melting as you spread it”. Splendid.
This performance deserves so much more notice from classical musicians
Scott is a legend. But I have to shout out the pianist. These guys live in the background but they are absolutely crushing it day in and day out. Bravo
Wesley is insanely good
My god, if you published a record I would instantly buy it. Absolutely beautiful playing! Thanks so much for all you do! It inspires me to be a better horn player
Hopefully one day I will have a record to share! Thanks for watching
Yeah that would be great
i don't know why I got a notification for this but I'm glad I did.
I’m glad you got a random notification too
I enjoy your playing, especially your rich, mellow tone. I have been playing horn since 1959, mainly on a 1963 silver 8D.
You have such a pure sound, I'd give anything for your tone! This is also an incredible interpretation! Thank you and bravo!!!
Thank you so much!
To me, this seems to be the culmination of all your channel's content so far. A wonderful piece, and a stunning interpretation.
Also, cheers to your accompanist! He is just fantastic.
Thank you so much! Definitely learned a lot to go from my first videos to this
Как легко зыучит одно из самых сложных произведений, написанных для валторны, эти все переходы легато на верх в Адажио и это в живую, не в записи, очень красивая трактовка, близкая к совершенству, думаю вы сможете и ещё лучше, невероятный уровень мастерства...
You're one of the reasons why I switched to horn from trombone. I love the way you sound, and your dedication to uploading high quality content. Plus that Schmid triple is 👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you so much! Glad you made the right choice ;)
bravo, this was beyond superb. so glad i found you on reddit when the pandemic was at its worst. cannot wait to hear what you do next!!
Thank you so much, I’m glad you found the videos too!
Beautifully rich and expressive! Bravo!!
Those stopped notes at the end of the adagio add so much...amazing playing as always, thanks for sharing this with us!
I played this for one of my juries during college. Gorgeous piece!
Absolutely brilliant performance, deeply insightful interpretation, technical perfection… and from memory! So inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Beautifully played. Love your tone.
Thank you!
Amazing work! One of my favorite solo pieces for horn by far!
Mine too!
The best adagio allegro that i have heard😍😍😍: fantastico , congratulation dear Scott😃😃😃😃
Cleudiooooooo
@@Frenko weeee😂😂😂
Thank you so much!
Dear Scott, very well played with such a beautiful sound! I like the way you play.
Bedt wishes from Vienna 😊
Thank you so much!
What an enviable sound!
Maguinifico 🎼🎶🎶📯🎹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You have done one of the best version of this piece! Bravo!
Thank you!
I love love love this video but holy crap do I wish I could just make the screen go black for a moment playing this in recital, lmao. My endurance and high range are quite strong but even then I feel like some part of me breaks every time I approach that last page and I realise that I still gotta play that end. I love the piece but I always dread having to play it through start to finish!
Sin palabras... Que gran músico!
Fantastic playing. Truly inspires me to be a better horn player and your short calls always give me fantastic new tips and tricks to improve
very nice playing. Dynamics perfectly controlled with full rich sounds. Good amount of vabrato.
I just started the horn, but you have the best sound I've heard so far.
But I only really like this one song of yours. I'm not much of a classical music guy.
Think I just found a new favorite horn piece😂
Bravo!!
Cuánta dulzura... Excelente ejecución. ♥️
Hey Scott! Sounds incredible!!! Miss you buddy!
Hey Michael! Miss you too, hope you’ve been well!
Excellent… Maestro, I sincerely hope you to come to Japan for recital.
Sempre mitico!

my god, I had no idea Brian Quinn from 2011 was so good at French horn
Amazing playing! Bravo!
Thanks a lot!
That's a nice horn!
How do you get so even sound through all registers? Amazing
Bravo👏👏👏
Beautifully played :)
Thank you very much!
Note to self: 3:14 listen and imitate breath. he
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent interpretation, as always! I've been wondering though, about your horn - how much (if any) does having the high side in addition to the standard F/Bb help with ease in the high register? Thank you!
Hmm, it’s interesting to think about because it’s not always a clear decision when to and not to use.
In this piece I don’t think the high side actually helps too much, because the primary challenge is one of endurance, and there isn’t much any Horn can help you with that. However there are still some notes like A and Ab which I just generally prefer to play on the Eb horn for intonation.
Ultimately I think it comes down to the sound. In the romantic era rep, I don’t use the Eb side much because I don’t think it offers the right sound always. But in contemporary rep and classical rep, it can have a unique and sometimes more appropriate character.
@@ScottLegerHorn Interesting. Thank you so much for the thoughtful response!
Great reply! People think the alto side of a triple is a “cheat”, but if your lips are tired by the time you get to the end where you go up to the high Bb twice, a triple won’t save you.
@@ScottLegerHorn😢
3:43 Allegro
Much better than Stefan Dohr’s recent performance. 😂😂 Congrats per usual!
Isn’t it awesome (yet sad) that your low register is miles ahead of Stefan Dohr’s and David Cooper? Just being honest…and I prefer your sound above David Cooper’s too.
I’m just trying to hit a G above the staff
Keep at it. The range will come! Use arpeggios to increase your range by going up chromatically. (i.e. 1st line E major arpeggio and hold the 4th space E as a whole note. Take a 5-10 second break and play F arpeggio, then F#, then G, etc. Attempt past your comfortable range, but don't hurt yourself! Do this a few times a week).
Beautiful. Pity about that mask.
Why's it a pity?
Bravo!!
Thank you!
Bravo!
Thanks!
Bravo!
