As a saxophone player myself I would like to appreciate how difficult it is to smear like he did in the beginning

[@g35driver18]

Agreed

[@anthony-ud4to]

Smears to altissimo G, my God I know from experience how hard that is.

[@aidenlol2828]

it’s a lot easier if you use front e and front f

[@tessLizCroft]

Wow. I’m a violinist and I had the honor of playing this gorgeous piece in an orchestra… I haven’t listened to much saxophone as a classical violinist! I have to say I’m absolutely smitten with this!❤️

[@alexandergonet4937]

I'm starting to learn playing on the saxophone and my dream is to play this one day.

[@jakeburry15]

Holy shit bro. I play sax. That was epic. Hands down amazing. Would have loved to see you bust out the baritone. This guy has a set of lungs on him.

[@kaushikvaliveti6640]

Great vibrato! What a fun piece to play. I especially liked how this piece required a soprano saxophone AND an alto. Well done😁

[@whatdyathink]

And a tenor!

[@jasonlastname129]

The clarinet part low key sounds better on a sax

[@hollysimpson2462]

Saw a clip on TikTok and had to come watch the full thing. One of my favorite pieces of instrumental music literature. This was an astounding arrangement of this song. Thank you for sharing such lovely music.

[@wonkisaxlee]

Thank you very much!

[@josephhowes2663]

Wow 👏🏻 your altissimo is incredibly clean!

[@jaykay1053]

Congratulations also to your collaborative pianist. Wonderful!
