He is the reason I buy a clarinet. The sound is so warm and pleasing. I know I could never sound like him, but music is all about enjoying and sharing. Well done Han!
Please continue to keep growing as a clarinetist, Michael. You have an extraordinary advantage and gift in that you were able to find and hone your talents at such an early age. If you keep progressing at this level, then you'll undoubtedly be one of the great clarinet virtuosos of our time. Don't ever forget that its all about the music either. I would hate to see such a talented student like yourself sell out for a line of clarinets in your name like a certain "young virtuoso" already has.
Han, you play really excellent, I have saved some of your videos already among my favorites. I watched your career for some years. You have great talent
Don't be discouraged! With enough practice, you can be just as good! Talent only gets people so far. The rest is practice. Keep your spirits high and stick with it! You'll get there some day! Use this as inspiration. Set it as a goal, then go for it! And when you achieve it, find another goal to strive for and keep improving! You can do it!
Well, we don't need to compare. Music is for our enjoyment, and allow us to share with friends. Some musicians are better, so they have a bigger stage. Others, like myself, can only play to entertain myself. As long as we are playing music, we are musicians! ^_^
wow ur amazing! ur tone is absolutely fabulous, cept ur high notes are a bit shrill but Im sure uve already worked that out by now, anyways absolutely superb job!
simplesmente fantástico, acho que ele deve exprimir-se a tocar melhor do que fala, ou seja, a interpretação musical está para ele como a redação está para um poeta. é magnifico poder assistir a um jovem tocar tão bem, embora as ideias musicais não sejam dele! muito bom
i've never heard you play jazz so i can't make any reply to your comment. All i'm saying is that some culture's find it easier to play jazz than others because of their up bringing or because they have it inside them they are brilliant with it
@bene951... you may be right on the spanish thing, i don't know, the main point i was trying to make was that different cultures "feel" music differently because of the way they were brought up, or just because that's the way they are.
@EdwardNJacobOtaku You're 100% correct. There's this myth that musicians are either technically proficient OR play with soul/emotion, when in reality technical proficiency is needed either way. I play the cello and was talented enough that I played better than all (but one) of the other cellists without much practice, and vibrato came naturally to me, while other students had to learn it. But I hit a wall around the 9th Suzuki book. Practicing many, many hours is the only way to become great.
If you play music of this period on the instrument for which it was written, the relationship between the voicing, tone quality and probably the intonation is optmised for playing in a limited range of keys close to what we now call the Home Key: D for the flute and F for the Clarinet Oboe and Recorder. Playing music for C clarinet on the B flat or A invlves a loss of rhetorical effect.
I am a musician too, genres of music are defined more of culture, yes it's geographical but is not limited to race. A spanish boy can grow up in africa and get the culture and be influenced by that, but you can't tell that boy to not play african music because he's spanish, or even before he starts playing, you have judgement already. What ever you say, you were judge mental and I am happy that this conversation is making you change by explaining yourself. THINK before you speak
@mobscene9305 are you looking at the full orchestra score? I have the reduced score for clarinet and piano and the clarinet comes in at measure 57 as well.
I have to do this solo for Solo Fest... it's effing hard. He makes it look easy. I hate this kid :P You have a great tone, btw. Nice work. Hopefully I get this solo done soon... I'd love to be able to play this.
anyone know where can i find a score for this? i found one but it has 5 sharps so i dont know if its the right one. please pm me if you know where can i get one. great performance!
@meconfused1996 It does matter. yu need to transpose the notes in the concerto one step lower for you to be able to play on Bb clarinet. If yu just play the notes w the key of A on a Bb clarinet, it will sound off. I tried it.
Moving when playing isn't a problem. It can be helpful. I have played on the march, and 20 minutes later played the same piece seated comfortably on the bandstand with the advantage of a good conductor and the earlier play through, and it wasn't as good. Arbeau treats the march as fully as any other dance, and you just can't get the rhythm and tempo right in renaissance dance if you havn't learned the steps.
@meconfused1996 Oohh i see i dont know, because i compare my playing with the David Shifrin version of the concerto and the notes sound off... My sheet music starts off with a G on the allegro.
@bemanthonybemanthony... I wasn't defining music by race... i'm just telling you what my observations were throughout my years of playing music. And I'm just expressing an opinion of what i saw, you can take it as you like, i'm not a racist, i just believe that some cultures have tendencies in music that other do not, that's why we have such a array and genres of music.
@bemanthonybemanthony ... Yea I'm gonna finish this conversation, because i never said that he can't play jazz. I'm just assuming it based off his tone and that he's asian, because most asian parents parents are perfectionists. That's not being stereotypical, that's telling you something i've seen from their culture. But whatever I'm done, your just getting angry over nothing, and that's not good for anybody.
It is meaningless to say that the most expensive mechanised modern instrument is "better", without saying better for what purpose. A five keyed boxwood oneis "better for Mozart. The only advantage of transposing for the B flat, is that the most technically demanding passage in the third movement, which is an editorial adjustment for the ordinary instrument without the Bassethorn's extended range, is easier because repeated crossing the break at speed is avoided.
Amazing, but I don't like it being so fast. He needs to slow down. Also, there are some notes that he makes short that really should be legato, but that's just the musician's critic talking. Overall, he makes me feel like I suck. Same age, but haven't practiced as much as he has and probably haven't played as long.(5 years). So, I'm fine with him being so awesome.
Using any modern clarinet is one loss, (less so with the German model) and one in the wrong key is another. The first stage of mechanical additions to the five key instrument was a response to the widening range of tonalities in common use as somewhat more equal cyclical temperaments came into use. Digital micro-athletics was not the objective at that point in the development of the instrument.
i play to my master on clarinet concerto mozart in B major to Bb clarinet..if you play mozart first you must know about clarinet you can play public concerto withi out own background tha kid is publicity nothing else the Bb is the stadars clarinet because its to close to C tune and it has basset tune so for that made in full boehm system because the composers wants Bb tune but the notes of A clarinet
LOL.... really? He is 12 and how old is Martin? I rest my case... maybe not up to what Martin is doing at what..... how old is Martin and how long has he been playing compared to the 12 year old?
i'm pretty sure you should learn to spell embouchure before you critique this person about his. movement is not going to mess with your embouchure at the stage of playing he is at. You want to keep movements to a point that they do not hinder your playing... and i'd say that there is nothing going on here that is preventing him from having success.
@bemanthonybemanthony ... It's not a racist thing... you just don't understand because your so close minded... people who grow up in different places "feel" music differently. I'm spanish, I feel music faster than most, I always want to rush. It was proven to me one day when my friend was playing drums, he's spanish too, and he was rushing and my teacher was just like, "wow don't you feel him rushing?"... and I"m just like...no i don't. Same goes for tone
He's slurring what should be staccato I got a very high mark in my grade 8 and it was all down to the runs which I played so I think he took a short cut I
I never said he needed to... all i said was that it would impress me, and you interpreted my sentence differently than i meant it to be... I was saying that regarding he extremely nice tone and almost perfect intonation, that in my opinion, he wouldn't be a suitable jazz player. Also yes i did imply that i feel that asians cannot play jazz.
To Martin frost , he's just one little boy who is trying to imitate him . But , he's failing . Listen to how Martin frost plays , he'll make you shit in your pants right away cuz he's damn good
he plays robot teacher music he doesnt know what he play ..and i say if is good player lets play the normal clarinet Bb and do transpose to B major..i cant believe it do you all of them what you know about music he plays C MAJOR for god C MAJOR I PLAY IN MY BORN and the wrong is if has expensieve clarinets now he cant respect the instrument he wants more and more expensive when he grows up
dont be a snob. asians are humans too. btw i have watched your jazz clarinet videos. playing jazz without good tone and intonation isnt very nice.. your tonguing are a bit too hard too. :)
Good good... now if you can play jazz then i'd be really impressed, but unfortunately from hearing your tone and, no offense, your asian, you probably can't play it... sad you should try making a video of your self trying to play some jazz... even if you suck at it you should try it out just see if maybe you have a hidden talent for.
Han, you play really excellent, I have saved some of your videos already among my favorites. I watched your career for some years. You have great talent
He is the reason I buy a clarinet. The sound is so warm and pleasing. I know I could never sound like him, but music is all about enjoying and sharing. Well done Han!
His sound is really beautiful.
Thanks for posting this.
The movements are a bit exaggerated, but I love the playing. Me and my clarinet friends love you. You're our hero in the clarinet world.
Please continue to keep growing as a clarinetist, Michael. You have an extraordinary advantage and gift in that you were able to find and hone your talents at such an early age.

fantastic extraordinary loved it. he is great for his age. of course a great future will have on stages. tks for sharing. superb.

Wonderful Performance, Bravo!!!

Simply beautifull
Such a clear, strong, beautiful tone! And I love the physicality! It makes the performance so much more interesting! Kudos!
Amazing.
I say that Han is really cute and that he plays beautiful , i wish you the best
OH MY GOD.I think it's sublime
Way to go Han!!!
wow ur amazing! ur tone is absolutely fabulous, cept ur high notes are a bit shrill but Im sure uve already worked that out by now, anyways absolutely superb job!
Got this in the mail today for my audition piece for a college honors band(: clarinut for life-3
he's so adorable!
You are amazing and i am South Korean as well!an young ha sei yo

i've watched almost all versions of this on youtube and you sound just as good iff not way better than most adult professionals
Perfect
simplesmente fantástico, acho que ele deve exprimir-se a tocar melhor do que fala, ou seja, a interpretação musical está para ele como a redação está para um poeta.
é magnifico poder assistir a um jovem tocar tão bem, embora as ideias musicais não sejam dele!
muito bom
Man, you're awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
i've never heard you play jazz so i can't make any reply to your comment. All i'm saying is that some culture's find it easier to play jazz than others because of their up bringing or because they have it inside them they are brilliant with it
Looking at his hand movements, I'd say that either the pitch has been changed to make it easier for a Bb instrument, or he's playing an A clarinet.
Why do so many great clarinetists move around like that while playing? It's almost as entertaining as their amazing playing.
I never said they weren't. All I remember saying is that his tone suits classical music better than for jazz. Also thanks for the crtique.
i like the moving around
@bene951... you may be right on the spanish thing, i don't know, the main point i was trying to make was that different cultures "feel" music differently because of the way they were brought up, or just because that's the way they are.

형 진짜 천재예요?..
Semplicemente strupendo. :)
galing!
@mobscene9305
are you looking at the full orchestra score?
I have the reduced score for clarinet and piano and the clarinet comes in at measure 57 as well.
Good
The way this young one plays is a dialogue with God and the orchestra..
I have to do this solo for Solo Fest... it's effing hard. He makes it look easy. I hate this kid :P
You have a great tone, btw. Nice work. Hopefully I get this solo done soon... I'd love to be able to play this.
anyone know where can i find a score for this? i found one but it has 5 sharps so i dont know if its the right one. please pm me if you know where can i get one. great performance!
holykows that’s concert a for bflat clarinet but if you have an a clarinet you play all natural
You look so handsome with your glasses
Wahnsinn ! Und ich hab' mein Lebtag nie nicht einen halbwegs
melodischen Pubs zustande gebracht .......
Amazing. How long did you practice this before this performance?
@meconfused1996 It does matter. yu need to transpose the notes in the concerto one step lower for you to be able to play on Bb clarinet. If yu just play the notes w the key of A on a Bb clarinet, it will sound off. I tried it.
@meconfused1996
hmm okay i guess.. lol
i still transposed the Adagio from A to Bb for my clarinet though.. :P
thnx =]
@YoonaLoveable This is just part 1. There's another part.
No racist..respect to music and performers
How long have you been playing the clarinet?
Is he using a or b flat clarinet?
Moving when playing isn't a problem. It can be helpful. I have played on the march, and 20 minutes later played the same piece seated comfortably on the bandstand with the advantage of a good conductor and the earlier play through, and it wasn't as good.
Arbeau treats the march as fully as any other dance, and you just can't get the rhythm and tempo right in renaissance dance if you havn't learned the steps.
playing this for solo and ensemble festival in 6th grade
MaskedWalnut23 Either a watered down version or you butchered it. I call bullshit
@meconfused1996
Oohh i see i dont know, because i compare my playing with the David Shifrin version of the concerto and the notes sound off...
My sheet music starts off with a G on the allegro.
arelys guerrero are you playing with an a or bflat clarinet
Edit: cause this one is written for a clarinet
dang this kid was 13 when this video was uploaded
@bemanthonybemanthony... I wasn't defining music by race... i'm just telling you what my observations were throughout my years of playing music.

美しいです。
Lol I like how he just stands there listening to the music for the first minutes
well what else is he gonna do, twerk? xD
+Jay Hong what would you do? hop around?
Jay Hong he has a rest in the beginning for 52 measures
Lol you dance a lot man. But other than that, congrats!
That's just amazing!
@bemanthonybemanthony ... Yea I'm gonna finish this conversation, because i never said that he can't play jazz.

the people who disliked this was basically jealous.
Uugghh i wanna play this piece sooo fukin bad!!!! but its written in A and i have a Bb clarinet =[[
Excellent!
Perhaps you wanna try to focus everything a bit more.

@HobbesRule I'm sure and you are a talent but if you are a talent do not stay Just practic your talent ;P
its an A

i'm pretty sure you should learn to spell embouchure before you critique this person about his. movement is not going to mess with your embouchure at the stage of playing he is at.

You cna easily play the clarinet while moving without sacrificing embouchure...

I reply my own comment I know I am intelligent 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

baby galileo ha song
To Martin frost , he's just one little boy who is trying to imitate him . But , he's failing . Listen to how Martin frost plays , he'll make you shit in your pants right away cuz he's damn good
Stare What Stare 9월 것
col clarinetto in sib viene molto più facile rispetto a quello con la....
If he could play jazz... it would impress me... there is no relevancy between this video and jazz i just want to see if he can play jazz
Youre the one who's close minded, defining music by race is not the way to go. i dont want to argue, you got to do more reality check, hombre
he plays robot teacher music he doesnt know what he play ..and i say if is good player lets play the normal clarinet Bb and do transpose to B major..i cant believe it do you all of them what you know about music he plays C MAJOR for god C MAJOR I PLAY IN MY BORN and the wrong is if has expensieve clarinets now he cant respect the instrument he wants more and more expensive when he grows up
lol hes alright dont be too hard on the kid
dont be a snob. asians are humans too. btw i have watched your jazz clarinet videos. playing jazz without good tone and intonation isnt very nice.. your tonguing are a bit too hard too. :)
Don't worry. He can't play the clarinet anyway. It's not worth getting worked up over him.
Good good... now if you can play jazz then i'd be really impressed, but unfortunately from hearing your tone and, no offense, your asian, you probably can't play it... sad you should try making a video of your self trying to play some jazz... even if you suck at it you should try it out just see if maybe you have a hidden talent for.
To soft and legato 'twas annoying the legato!!!
Han, you play really excellent, I have saved some of your videos already among my favorites. I watched your career for some years. You have great talent
