    Note from Frank: "This is my version of the original arrangement of the Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Nady Zolc. I have reinstated some of the original notation and changed some if the articulation to suit my own strengths, but kept the F minor transposed key of course. Enjoy!"

    Playing the horn is like driving the wrong way on the freeway, on ice, blind folded, and you still want to get exactly where you are going. This guy is amazing!

    Frank and I joined the RM band together in 1968. He's not only a virtuoso horn player, he's also an all round great guy. Frank is president of the International Horn Society and they have a convention in London in a few days where he'll be playing. Get there if you can.

    Holy heck I've never heard multiphonics that well coordinated across the whole range of the instrument, or such a solid pedal C. And the technical parts of course 👌
    Literally nothing in this is easy. Every moment I'm impressed by something different

      @baysideplace9194 5 лет назад +4

      @@alexisfiotakis8625 He sings one of the pitches into the horn while he keeps buzzing the other. To my knowledge, the sung note has to be one on the same overtone series (fingering) as the note he is buzzing on the horn.

    • @trainliker100
      @trainliker100 3 года назад

      That's called playing "multiphonics" and yes, you buzz one note and hum/sing the other.

    I have listened to this Bach work so many times but never on the horn and what a revelation it is. Just goes to show exactly how much of a genius Bach was; you can play his works on any instrument and new aspects of the work reveal themselves. Beautiful interpretation, fantastic technique. Many thanks for sharing your performance.

    Hi Sir Frank,
    came here again.
    And still remembering my early days in horn playing.
    When we listened the Lollipops - not CD - wasn't invented then.
    But LP!
    We listened again and again at military band after rehearsals. And were astonished.
    But now you have improved alot. :) (Kidding)
    Very many thanks for that.
    You were a hero of my youthl And you still are!

    You're an inspiration. I had a choice in college: academic or music. I went academic so I could work. Was a tough choice because I loved music. But I needed to be able to support myself - sans student loans or the gov taking care of me (I just think it's wrong). Couldn't do music and work and school. So music left me - but doesn't mean I don't miss it. It's always been the one thing that can get me grounded - no matter what's going on in my life.

    I picked up my horn yesterday after almost 50 years away from it. I wish I'd had somebody like you, Frank Lloyd, to inspire me back then -- though I admit that it might have scared me into quitting even sooner. One question: Some of the deeper chords seem to be produced entirely within the horn, but are some of the others created by vocalizing (humming) into the horn? Either way your virtuosity is utterly astounding.

  • @user-wf6wc1sj6l

  • @yelsinsepulveda5291
    @yelsinsepulveda5291 5 лет назад +1

    I cannot express how inspiring it is to see the horn being played this way. Most of my experience came from HighSchool and being made to play umpa-lumpa parts for years. So greatful this exists!
    Any chance someone can point out to me what were the exact changes Lloyd made ? I have the music sheet composed by Zsolt, but I'd like to learn it exactly the way its played in this recording.

    • @musicianfriendly2005
      @musicianfriendly2005 7 лет назад +1

      You should try it out! It's a very soulful and beautiful instrument! The only down side is the mouthpiece being small and also the hand being played with the left hand and not the right hand.. Also, you need some strength to hold it up too..
      If you are going to play a French Horn or want to at least try it out a lot of people say start with a Single Horn instrument.. Supposedly it's easier..I wouldn't know because I started out playing the Double Horn (unknowingly of course)...

    • @mrhellhound793
      @mrhellhound793 7 лет назад

    • @musicianfriendly2005
      @musicianfriendly2005 7 лет назад +1

      XD Lmao! Well, sir.. If you got a dime or nickle on you I think that would be about the size of the mouthpiece we play on XD
      maybe a quarter and I'm just over doing it, but it's a pretty comfortable mouthpiece to me when I first started when I was 11 ... I already knew how to play...I guess it's was a natural match because I sat in band class for a month not knowing what to play and my teacher finally put me on an instrument and that's how I got started..
      The more advance you get the more you struggle...

    This is my fourth year playing French horn, and I've started to notice that when I play my middle c it drops down into the lower ranges. Thing is, it also still plays c. I think I've accidentally learned how to play two notes at once. It sounds a lot like how he's doing it, but I can only do it with my c.
