Wow - that's very touching at the end of the video; the "voice" of the composer, finishing the unfinished symphony. Love it.

Symphony No. 4 changed my life. I played the horn solo in high school under Junkin at their honors summer camp. Bach was embedded into every breath and phrase of that piece. Without Bach, we would have no source to draw from, and Classical music today would not be at its currently evolved stage if not for Bach. We have so much to be grateful for! On a final note, I also played Maslanka’s music at Baylor when we toured with him around 2013 or 2014. When we were done with our tour, we learned that he actually had some pretty good dance moves too, haha! He was such a gentle and wise spirit. His pre-concert talk at Michigan State in ~2016 was about his visions of doomsday, and that we need not be afraid of it. In fact, we must embrace that reality, the knowledge that this world may one day end. From that, we can create music with no fear and no inhibition. His knowledge of Carl Jung’s philosophy was embedded into his spirit as well, and he even did a guided meditation with us at Baylor when we performed Garden of Dreams. His spirit will never be forgotten.

Super informative! I never knew about tongue dampening, but it seems so useful! I’ll have to employ it in my playing!

Johann Sebastian Bach is the god of western classical music

His music is so hard to play! 😀

Inspiration.

Oh, what a pity. As with the live concerts by Alfred Reed and Johan de Meij in Japan or the USA: many seats in the hall are empty. If people only knew what a great composer was still alive at the podium: the queues would be longer than at the state funeral of the Queen of England.

Our wind ensemble is playing this tomorrow and the third movement always destroys me, but it's so amazing to listen to. I've never heard music like it and it sends chills up my spine at certain points. It's frightening, beautiful, and serene, all in one. An indescribable experience to get to play.

I played clarinet 1 AND CAN ONLY FIND PART 3, WHERE IS 1,2,4. 2 IS SO GOOD

I'm in heaven! Thank you a lot!

Thank you so much for posting this.

I miss him so much.

This piece, for me, re-defined what "band music" can be. Maslanka deserves to be recognized right up there with the great symphonic composers for orchestra. Pure art.
