I think this is the first time that youtube has recommended me a video from someone I know in real life. I'm super happy for your success as a professional horn player, Scott! Sorry about revealing your tryout number to the regional TMEA judges back in Junior year or thereabouts!
In the 60s, my horn teacher told me that his teacher was playing in the NY Philharmonic when he was 14 years old, apparently in the 1930s. During a performance of this movement, he glanced at the English horn player and saw him rattling and shaking his apparently broken instrument. So the kid played the solo on his horn. It was in the papers the next day. I have no way of knowing whether this was true.
I am a clarinetist/saxophonist, and I somehow thankfully stumbled across your TH-cam shorts and thus your channel. Listening to your playing is such a pleasure!
As a French horn major, it does sound better on English Horn. There’s just something about the eeriness and timbre of it that makes the melody so fitting. On French horn it sounds smoother, but it takes away from the soothing nature of the instruments around it.
@@jeremiahvelez7338 I think it's the naturally darker tone of the English Horn that makes it sound more beautiful when it's played in a passage like this
Question, when did you learn how to play horn and what inspired you to learn the french horn. me was because i was a trumpet player originaly but my director wanted me to try horn and i just got hooked
OMG that's amazing Scott 😥😥 That's from my favourite symphony. Do you by chance sell your arrangements?? Did you write that arrangement or acquire from IMSLP?
Is the cor anglais part in F for more than 2 bars straight?! Still, the written Cs in the last movement are high enough for me, so I'll stick to my own part on Saturday (where I'm also playing 4th in the Accademic festival overture that you recently played an excerpt from)
Its crazy how you make those real high notes sound efforless
Ikr!!
Frfr
When I was first learning french horn I struggled with high notes, but using the right technique especially makes it so incredibly easy
teach me your ways @@raviolio7682
@@raviolio7682 i need pls teach me
That is some of the best playing I have ever seen.
Fr!

That's crazy!! What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.
This sounds so good. I would love to lay in a giant reverberant hall and just listen to a solo horn play like this 😂
Your mastery of French horn, one of my favorite instruments, and one I played for years, is impeccable, and I can only dream of seeing you in concert.
Such a beautiful tone

So good bro, you nailed it!
I prefer this one. It's so hopeful and even aspirational with the feels. Thank you.
Your playing literally never gets old
My goodness, Mr. Leger! You are truly a master of the horn. Your sound is so rich and beautiful to listen to 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am SO jealous at how effortlessly you look when you hit that high A let alone the C!?
So beautifully done!! Gave me goose bumps.
I have loved the New World symphony since I was a little girl. So beautiful! (and the French horn!)
you’re performing in my city tomorrow! i’m so excited to see / hopefully meet you!!
Such a beautiful passage. Thank you.
i definitely think the french horn is the best instrument in band coming from a violin player it’s so beautiful
me too
It is. But a really good horn player is kinda rare xD
Very beautiful. Worth making available for purchase.
Gorgeous
So good! You did great!
*plays something arguably difficult on French horn with the most heavenly tone and control*
“Sounds alright”
Beautiful
Thank you! I've tried to imagine how this would sound with different instrument. And I am surprised how wonderfull it is on Frech horn.
Absolutely out of this world..
The best day for a horn player is when the oboe player forgets his English horn.
No!! I’m not crying!.. I just, have something in my eyes…
Sublime. Thank you.👏👏👏
his playing trick me of reina playing that on trumpet he’s too expressive to play the horn give him a oscar
"sounds alright" it sounds so good 😂
Lovely
A C PLAYED THAT WELL?! i could never.
Really nice
I was just thinking about that today.
Amazing!!
How can you make it so smoothly 🤩
Sehr gut! Du verstehst dein Handwerk!❤
Beautiful tone! I’ve never heard the original but I’m sure that this one’s better
It's definitely better on french horn 👌
it's definitely not.
As a French horn major, it does sound better on English Horn. There’s just something about the eeriness and timbre of it that makes the melody so fitting. On French horn it sounds smoother, but it takes away from the soothing nature of the instruments around it.
The actual French horn soli later on sounds good, not this English horn part on French horn
I really must suck at sarcasm 😂

Som neste Conn 8d maravilhoso
Yknow something, the horn part in Kingdom Of Predators is pretty epic! Scott could probably pull it off better than the horn in the og recording!
Can anyone recommend a good double horn to start on? Coming from trumpet background
Hello. I'm your fan, you play just great. I am a horn player from Turkmenistan. please help me how to practice correctly. your sound drives me crazy👍
brooo you are the boss!!!
Damn ! I'll have to practice a lot more.
Gorgeous. Was that recorded on an older Conn 8D? I think this might be your best so far…
Yes, an old Elkhart 8D. Fantastic horns.
Великолепно!!
Please do the horn solo in Borodin Symphony No.2, 3rd movement!!
nice
Anyone has the whole sheet of this music
I guess the high part is played on the Bb horn, rest on F ?? It is possible to play it in F horn but it tends to roll, I suppose.
please music sheet ❤
Can you cover Oppenheimers ost with the horns?

I was actually just reading off of the score for this one, but I upload my sheet music to my Patreon! This one should be up later this week
@@ScottLegerHorn Good to know, thanks for the reply!

❤🎉🎉❤❤
What movement is this from?
What camera are you using?
Someone knows what mouthpiece he uses? Because he has big lips.
I mean, as an english horn player... It nearly sounds better 😂

Sounds a lot like the hobbit theme
Stop stealing our rep!!!! (Jk love your stuff)
