Fantastic is about all I can say. The range, timing, and the other instruments behind you are perfect. LOVE it. Thank you so much for sharing your great talent. Again it is FANTASTIC.
I love the breaking/reforming rhythms and extreme octave leaps! Inspiring playing! I'd need to practice 32h/18d a week to get back up to this level. WOW
What a banger... Wonderful tone, magnificient arrangement, truly inspiring ! Thank you so much for your work Matonizz, I think a lot of people want to practice after listening to your playing (me included !)
Yea, keep going with these catchy peices. I love to see a channel with the Euphonium as its main instrument, and you just bring it justice. Long story short, keep up the amazing work!
Oh wow! Just wow! Great playing and I agree has to be THE MOST HARD (INSANE) Euphonium solo. It spans five octaves playing the 8va/8vb option and not a real friendly key either in my book (lots of 2-3 fingerings not to mention accidentals). Very well done!!!
I stumbled across your videos when I took up euphonium again after 24 year. You've helped inspire me to play better and improve my embouchure thru your tutorials. Tha k you. That was an excellent performance on this piece! Something I would likely never master, but aspire to! Cheers
Awesome!! I really feel like this channel is going to blow up in the near future… You’re basically pioneering your own genre of content here on YT, after all. With content of this quality and consistency, I think your backlogs are going to get a lot of views too! Keep grinding!
Crazy! I’m also a euphonium player that is going to continue throughout college. I’m a senior in high school and still try to practice as much as I can! Your one of the best euphonium players I’ve seen!
Your performance has left me speechless. I’m trying to come up with something to say and nothing I come up with seems like it’s enough. Your talent is on another level. Just wow.
From a trumpet player with is euph-curious lol this really makes me want to make the purchase, though I suspect with the incredible tone you make I may be sad when I'm shit haha
The king has responded! If I knew you would I probably would've made a more serious response, both the piece and your playing are fantastic, the Queen Sacrifice section is phenomonal
My daughter is starting euphonium and we started listening to your music. Unbelievable tone, skill, and range. We need to figure out how you can play those high notes so well.
OMG HIIII this is such a stunning sound, i would love to be able to play like you one day, i am a beginner player and i see you as a role model honestly, i love all of the music you play so much, the pieces are all so unique.
Seu timbre e seu talento, Realmente são admiráveis, com certeza és uma, das melhores referências em Euphonium!! Muito obrigado por compartilhar seu conteúdo conosco! Abraço
Would depend on the level you're playing at. I'd highly recommend you check my educational video playlist. You will be able to find many routines, methods and exercises that will for sure cater to your playing and progress. Hope this helps friend!
Hey Drew and all, you did it once again. Loved how the brass band "fought back" in the duel between to the two sides. Quick question> how many other instruments actually were being played? =) Great music, guys! My hat's off to you!
Not sure exactly what you mean with this question, but in general, if you see it there above, it's on the recording. Eb soprano, 2 to 4 solos (depending on divisis), repieno, 2nd & 3rd 2 to 4 (depending), flugel, 3 horns, 3 trombones, 1 to 2 baritones, 1 to 2 euphs, 2 tubas, percussion. To save time, we only recorded lines that were needed, with minimal doubling. (Sorry so slow to respond. I don't get notifications on this channel, and Algirdas gets a billion comments a day so neither of us saw this...I only noticed it by chance because I randomly navigated to this video and saw my name in the comments.)
This is so impressive! Such a great solo! You are a master, or better to say a god on this instrument! The only thing I would like to mention, I would have the Euphonium in the mix something like 3dB to 6dB louder. The drums could be -3dB. And regarding the score: is the Euphonium tuned in Bb? Because the score seems to be in Cm, but the actual key is Bb. I am playing the trumpet and the flugelhorn and both are tuned in Bb.
Thank you Artin for kind words and your feedback. Euphonium reads either Bb Treble clef or Concert Pitch Bass clef, with BC being more common which is the reason for part in score being concert pitch. However, the parts come in both TC and BC :)
How does one achieve this? I'm speechless I want to learn this song asap. My music teachers say im gifted but i just find music to easy but this song was a whole other story.
Wow this is killer!!! Any tips about range stuff? That’s my only weak point. Definitely listening to this stuff before my all state audition next weekend. Also what are your thoughts on DCI I’m curious.
Thank you! Make sure to check my ed videos on range. I made numerous vids on this topic, I'm sure it will help you a lot. Also, good luck with audition! Which state btw? DCI is super cool although I've never done it myself :)
This and the original is some of the best music I've ever heard. Do you have any suggestions for high school euphonium solos with concert band accompaniment? I found this video(and channel) looking for one and am curious to hear any suggestions.
When I was your age, I used to pick hardest pieces as well. It is not the best choice for success of performing those pieces but it is fantastic for pushing yourself to fast track the development of your technique :)
I don't know, seems pretty easy, I could easily have this down in a few decades.
I know, it only took me 25 years so pretty spot on on the estimate :D
25 years?!?! It’s been 63 1/2 years and then I realized that I can’t read
Bro same though.
LOL 😵💫😱😀😀😀
i bet bro's stil trying to play this song to this day. it would certainly take me 11 months for sure. atleast to get to the same level as matonizz.
Absolute banger... I love this rendition even more than the first time....
Much appreciated!
As a euphonium player I’m completely blown away! This is amazing and your very talented nice job
Thank you Miles!
That tone quality is truly magnificent especially on those octave plus slurs. This is the euphonium version of fly or die for trombone
Glad you enjoyed it!
FLY OR DIE, on the other hand, is a children's song
From one Euphonium Emperor to another, that was sick!🤘
Just hearing this now and I’ve been left absolutely speechless more times in 7 minutes than I have been in years. A wonder to the ears and soul.
Fantastic is about all I can say. The range, timing, and the other instruments behind you are perfect. LOVE it. Thank you so much for sharing your great talent. Again it is FANTASTIC.
Thank you very much Sandra. Always appreciate your kind comments and support. Glad you enjoyed the composition!
I love the breaking/reforming rhythms and extreme octave leaps! Inspiring playing! I'd need to practice 32h/18d a week to get back up to this level. WOW
Thank you very much Wayne. Glad you enjoyed and appreciate your support friend!
...and people wonder why I love the euphonium as the "ultimate brass instrument" when it comes to tone and musical expression! Well done!!!!
What a banger... Wonderful tone, magnificient arrangement, truly inspiring ! Thank you so much for your work Matonizz, I think a lot of people want to practice after listening to your playing (me included !)
Very kind of you Mathieu, appreciate your kind words friend!
Bro your sound is absolutely pristine. Keep making beautiful sounds, man.
Thank you Daniel!
Yea, keep going with these catchy peices. I love to see a channel with the Euphonium as its main instrument, and you just bring it justice. Long story short, keep up the amazing work!
Much appreciated! I put a lot of work in these so it's great to hear back when people enjoy it :)
@@Matonizzlove it!
WOW THIS AMAZING AS A FELLOW EUPHONIUM PLAYER I CAN SAY THAT THIS IS TRULY INSPIRING
Appreciate your kind comment friend!
@@Matonizz THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REPLYING
Still insane solo. I love hearing the whole ensemble
Thank you!
This was always my favorite piece from you. The other instruments add so much. Thank you for playing!!
Glad you enjoyed it friend!
I love how dramatic it is! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
This makes difficulty fun again, Euphonium strike s back!
Yes indeed!
Oh wow! Just wow! Great playing and I agree has to be THE MOST HARD (INSANE) Euphonium solo. It spans five octaves playing the 8va/8vb option and not a real friendly key either in my book (lots of 2-3 fingerings not to mention accidentals). Very well done!!!
Thank you very much friend!
I only watch it again and again but i don`t belive it. You are incredible!!! Thanks for share it.
Killed it. 🔥
Everytime I hear this, it always gives me Fly or Die vibes, and I love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I also love how the piece (video) is devided by actual moves or terms used in chess. Also great playing 👍
Amazing ！I hope one day I can play like this
I stumbled across your videos when I took up euphonium again after 24 year. You've helped inspire me to play better and improve my embouchure thru your tutorials. Tha k you.
That was an excellent performance on this piece! Something I would likely never master, but aspire to!
Cheers
Absolutely amazing! Beautifully song, catchy, and so very well played!!
Thank you!
Legendary
Как музыкант восхищён исполнительским мастерством, огромное спасибо!
That super F was insane
so nice
Thank you!
Matoniz, my golly gosh...amazing technical prowess here. Love this even more than the first time I heard it. ❤😮
What a banger execution...idk what more I could add
It was just amazing
Awesome!! I really feel like this channel is going to blow up in the near future… You’re basically pioneering your own genre of content here on YT, after all. With content of this quality and consistency, I think your backlogs are going to get a lot of views too! Keep grinding!
Thanks so much Dale, what you said is exactly what we're trying to do here. Appreciate your support friend!
Crazy! I’m also a euphonium player that is going to continue throughout college. I’m a senior in high school and still try to practice as much as I can! Your one of the best euphonium players I’ve seen!
Practice long tones and holding an even note.
Merci pour cette démonstration de maîtrise, vous me donnez envi de bosser encore plus mon instrument... Et j'ai débuté il y a seulement un an
My favorite part is Middlegame,
I also love watching these and slightly learning them! (I’m new to euph but have played trumpet for 5 years)
Your performance has left me speechless. I’m trying to come up with something to say and nothing I come up with seems like it’s enough. Your talent is on another level. Just wow.
Very kind of you Jose, appreciate your comment friend!
Love this! I will show this off to my brother who plays Euphonium. I play alto sax in middle school, and my brother's a freshman in high. Great video!
Much appreciated friend!
Thats amazing, those rhythms and octave leaps blows my mind
Thank you Jack!
From a trumpet player with is euph-curious lol this really makes me want to make the purchase, though I suspect with the incredible tone you make I may be sad when I'm shit haha
Bro this song is the best of both worlds, chess AND euphonium. This is by far the best song ive ever heard.
Thank you!
That's just nuts! WoW! Fantastically Unbelievable!
Thank you Bill, glad you enjoyed it friend!
@@Matonizz what you all accomplish is Outstanding!

Matonizz, You are James Morrison on Euphonium, the way You play it is sickly good, amazingly high, simply unbeatable!!!!😀😀😀👍👍👍
Thank you, that's a very flattering comparison. He's one of my fav players. Glad you enjoyed the playing friend!
My daughter is starting euphonium and we started listening to your music. Unbelievable tone, skill, and range. We need to figure out how you can play those high notes so well.

Fantastic playing! Bravo!

I would honestly love to play this solo on my Euphonium one day!
OMG HIIII this is such a stunning sound, i would love to be able to play like you one day, i am a beginner player and i see you as a role model honestly, i love all of the music you play so much, the pieces are all so unique.

Espetacular
And he sacrificed…. HIS CHOOOOOOOPS
Yep, that's one per night type of cadenzas :D
and he sacrificed... HIS LUNGS
Hey Drew and all, you did it once again. Loved how the brass band "fought back" in the duel between to the two sides. Quick question> how many other instruments actually were being played? =) Great music, guys! My hat's off to you!

@@TheMusicofDrewFennell, no problem. I appreciate your comments. You guys are my "heroes" in the field of brass music! Love your work.
@@ChilesailorDR, thanks. It’s a grind trying to keep this pace. It helps to know people appreciate the effort.
"Amazing!""Thank you!"
Thank you!
What an amazing performance and arrangement. Thank you for giving us the wonderful sound produced by a very accomplished musician on the euphonium.
Glad you enjoyed it friend!
fANTASTIC!
Thank you Bill!
did God forge that euphonium? because that was angelic
I would love to hear a DCI Corp pull this off. Looking at you Carolina Crown!!!
LET'S GO!!!
Now all i got to do is convince my band director to schedule this piece (and put in a decade of practice)
🌿🤝Beautiful performance, always play to the delight of the listeners. I wish you all the best
This is really cool, do you have tips on how to get better tone, especially in the higher parts?
Check some of my tone educational video friend :)
Bravo
Thank you friend!
This is why you practice your Arban's exercises!
True!
5:38
Go heavy or go home :D
Me, a High School Euph: I wanna do that but I don't know how!
It takes a bit of time to develop the skill. Make sure to check my educational video playlist for some help :)
Wonderful, can we have it on spotify as well as the piano version ?
Thank you. Just uploaded it yesterday so the brass band version should come up on spotify either today or in the next couple of days :)
This is so impressive! Such a great solo! You are a master, or better to say a god on this instrument!

Thank you and yes, I've just finished uploading it few minutes ago. www.matonizz.com/product/the-kings-gambit/
@@Matonizz thank you so much!
How does one achieve this? I'm speechless I want to learn this song asap. My music teachers say im gifted but i just find music to easy but this song was a whole other story.
Takes time. Practice and enjoy the ride!
ill see if i can learn this song so i can maybe play it as a solo at my school. And thanks!
This is just amazing with a lot of work I have to surpass you
Nice!
Grandioso
Thank you!
Шедеврально! Класс!

@@DRKSTARakaAstrogabe Got it. Good luck with audition again! If you ever decide to study music, I'd be happy to welcome you at Seton Hill in PA :)
@@Matonizz Thank you!
@@Matonizz I ended up getting 4th Concert Band. Definitely could’ve done a lot better but I’ll take it!
This and the original is some of the best music I've ever heard. Do you have any suggestions for high school euphonium solos with concert band accompaniment? I found this video(and channel) looking for one and am curious to hear any suggestions.
Thank you! It would depend on the level of the player, but I good high school challenge would be Rhapsody for Euphonium by Curnow
@@Matonizz Thank you for the advice, I watched some recordings and I am gonna look into music with my lesson teacher.
I’m on my fourth year… do you think something like this is possible for me?

Wow , your are very talented .... look so easy when you play it . Just wondering how may hours you play each day ?
It varies nowadays since my schedule gets busy, but usually between 1-4 hours
