I had to get a replacement horn in the middle of the school year, and the one they gave me was brand new, the school bought it that year. I refused to take back my old one. Now marching band rolls around and I’m expecting to get the old, rusting mello I had last year. Surprise! The whole section got new mellos. Like, still wrapped up in plastic, not a single fingerprint new. We all were just staring in awe for the first half of practice.
It's so hard to find any principal hornist (or just a prominent hornist in such a high caliber symphony orchestra) who is female... My daughter is so inspired. Thank you Sarah.
+gishman2 Yes, Germans usually spend around six years learning English while in school, and they learn Oxford English, so they tend to have very nice, English accents.
I believe she mentioned when she joined the Berlin Philharmonic she did not know, or did not know much, German and had to learn. But do not take my word for it
What a beautiful sound you make Sarah on the lower register, which, as we brass players know, is where the skill is. An excellent technique and a great presenter. Brava!
My jaw drop when i hear her play. She is amazing with all the low notes. All the notes that she played was so full and round. I'm gald that I have found such an amazing video. This really help me a lot.
Estevan Hinojosa I'm pretty sure she means that because she's a low horn player (she plays 4th) she hasn't preformed the solo before not that it would be a range issue
Doesn't sound rushed to me. Do you know the part? The rhythm is trickier than you'd think just hearing it without seeing the score (each of the three iterations starting with the perfect fourth begin on a different beat of the 6/8).
Iam sure this will be one of the most watched horn videos on youtube, I like the way Sarah says "I will try and play"..... then goes ahead and plays it fantasticley with apparently no effort at all! Thankyou
Fabuleux, j'ai retrouvé cette vidéo sur RUclips, et je suis très heureux. Sarah Willis joue merveilleusement du cor, et avec une telle passion que je ne peux être que sous le charme. Quelle sensibilité, musicalité, justesse, qualité du son, aussi bien dans le grave que dans l'aigu. C'est parfait. Merci :)
I wish I had been able to play the horn like that when I was in college. That horn is beautiful, but my 5 valve horn was beautiful right after it had been refinished back then, my orchestra director always loved to show off my 5 valve horn when they got together, its pretty rare, I've never seen another 5 valve French Horn.
"if you dont agree, you are envy!!" I mean...I really like Sarah Willis, but please? Why the shit would you say such cringy childish crap? People can have opinions.
This whole entire comment section is joke lmao, one person on fcking love with like a 40 year old person... another person is roasting the person... and another person made a sex joke. Lmao this is too funny
You know, I listened to both Clevenger and Myers play this piece before this has to be my favorite recording though, because most horns can get that low but they cannot get it solid as Sarah, She is a Low Horn player so she can go circles around a lot of 1st horns. I loved this version thank you, Absolutely perfect
I play french horn and am watching this for an assignment and Im impressed the tone is amazing the slurs are just *chef kiss* I wish I could play that good ❤️
Thank you Sarah, you are a wonderful teacher! Your humility and mad skills are inspiring, and more horn players could use those attributes. This master class was fun and informative, and your tone is solid gold. Thank you for your example to all horn players everywhere!!
I’ll never forget the time when playing clarinet with a major Canadian orchestra which shall not be named, I was sitting in front of the fourth horn player when she bombed the Beethoven 9th fourth horn solo and then, in front of the entire orchestra, soloists, chorus and audience, she dropped the F bomb. It’s seared into my musical memory forever.
@Haeronthegreat they both have their cons and pros and areas of praise. I think they are equally impressive. What is most interesting is that you have to develop your low register before you can develop a great high register. You can play low horn for quite a long time, but it takes a lot of endurance building to play high for a long time.
I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and her colleagues at IHS47 where a work of mine was premiered. As a composer, I found this video most helpful. Thank you so much for sharing!
great lesson of Sara, his interpretation of a fragment of 4th horn of Beethoven's Ninth has a level of complexity atlo but with the advice and recommendations of Sarah, seems to be easy. Great horn player, congratulations
THE master of the low range. Look up the Berlin Horn Ensemble on here if you guys and gals want to see more of her low playing. It's sickening how good she is.
why is everyone calling it french horn in english? that's just pure nonsense. it's simply a horn or a double horn. both are german. it just makes no sense.
I'd like to share it with +Kezia Widayat. Thank you Mrs.+Sarah Willis & +Berliner Philharmoniker. And i guess her teacher is right, that Horn is so superb, awesome.
I am going to be a horn major for college and I have a question. What is the difference between the low horn player and the lead horn players? You all sound the same and are really good.
You know, I'm really sick of people asking what horn or what mouthpiece she uses as if she's only good because of her mouthpiece. I guarantee she would sound absolutely fabulous on any horn and any mouthpiece. Instead, you should be asking who she takes/took lessons from, her favorite horn players to listen to, what books she studies out of, her practice schedule.
@Fhorn5114 Yes I agree, it's the player that makes a good Horn sound. I spoke to a czech and told me its all stomach, throat, and shaping of the tongue for difference in sound :)
This is Sarah's reply: "I recommend taking a breath where you need it but so that it doesnt disturb the musical line of the exerpt..but everyone is different!"
French translation error. At 3:23, should be : "Aussi, le fa doit être joué un peu haut, mais il est souvent joué très bas. Alors, plus vous ouvrez la main, plus il sera haut.""
Just wondering, is anybody allowed to just walk on stage and say they want to audition for the Berlin Phil, or are there long processes in order to get to that point in which you're performing for them?
my hunch is that it's simply not needed, the midrange of the horn is covered by the horns and reeds as it is, as well as the nature of the horn in general being at its best in concert halls as big as this one. That being said however, there are jazz horn players like James Macdonald or Don Elliot if you want to dip your toes in that world

am I the only person who loves just looking at the horn itself? shimmering and golden and shiny... so beautiful lol
No. I know exactly what you mean. I rented a nice Holton today and have been waiting to open the case like a Christmas present.
Haha, only have i ever used rental horns. Can't wait to crack open a new horn soon.
Personally, I love looking at the horn, and Sarah as well. But that's just me.

Her tone is so gorgeous: bright but warm and round at the same time. Such a pleasure to hear Sarah play.
She has a half British and German accent

+johnmohanmusic Until we get to know RUclips
She was born in the USA but lived in Tokyo & Moscow as a child & settled in the UK at 13.
I believe she mentioned when she joined the Berlin Philharmonic she did not know, or did not know much, German and had to learn. But do not take my word for it
johnmohanmusic she’s British
You and your Horn Hangout are the reason I was drawn to play Horn at 68, still going strong 4+ years later. Gracias maestra. Abrazos!
What a beautiful sound you make Sarah on the lower register, which, as we brass players know, is where the skill is. An excellent technique and a great presenter. Brava!
The way she teaches is also a perfect blend of critical and encouraging. When I begin horn instruction I want it to be from someone like that
My jaw drop when i hear her play. She is amazing with all the low notes. All the notes that she played was so full and round. I'm gald that I have found such an amazing video. This really help me a lot.
"I'm a low horn player waaah waah waaaaah"
*plays high excerpts flawlessly*

Great!!
all horn players are supposed to be able to cover the whole range of the horn
Estevan Hinojosa I'm pretty sure she means that because she's a low horn player (she plays 4th) she hasn't preformed the solo before not that it would be a range issue

What a beautiful woman. Her voice and her horn and her. What soul.
She has amazing low chops!
among other things
Caleb Young, she has good chops in General.

I was on Horn scholarship in college. First time I have listened to Ms. Willis. Impressive and unassuming.

And yes, the way she says "naughty" and "scoundrel" is worth rewatching the video in a loop

I play flute but The French horn is my favorite brass instrument it has such a large range.
Even if she is an awesome low horn player... I really think it was the best "Till Eulenspiegel" I heard!!!! Fantastic!
You have to wonder about the complexity of the human process to create such a pure and beautiful sound commanded by an incredible composer.
Daaaaamn, the most beautiful instrument in the whole world, and she plays it like god *_* absolutely stunning Sarah!!!

A very special instrument to listen too as it brings a sense of calm to a melody. Very noticeable as you hear it play
Bravíssimo Sarah Willis. Wonderful Horn. Hugs from Brazil!!!
Berlin is so lucky to have her for so many reasons. A low horn player who can NAIL Till is NOT an everyday occurrence!

Hello, I am a horn player and I find it hard to climb in the treble, I am stuck in G Treble, does anyone have any advice to give me please?
@Mark Donald it is
That playing of till was amazing. When I play it I always make sure to really hold that d sharp out for 3 subdivided 8th notes
It's a McWilliam Model 1 with a Paxman 4B rim
Beautiful! I play at Horn and I love Horn!📯
Bravo Sarah Willis. Wonderful. Congratulations. Hugs from Brazil.

Everybody can apply for vacant positions, successful applicants will then be invited to audition.

What a wonderful sounding instrument. So under-employed in other forms of music. Why is it not a jazz staple, I wonder?
