the "greatest living composer"? Have you ever heard Kalevi Aho? Have you ever heard Saariaho? Glass? Reich? Sorabji? To name a few. Careful before you make such sweeping statements about a copycat.
Does anyone know if there is a similar tune in any symphony to the one he played PLEASE? I couldn't find a Beethoven symphony that has it, and it sounds kind of shostakovich to me...
jkvhcjshcsja cbjsabjhasihfzc Please. The very beginning of fifth symphony of his. Other than that opening of Mahler’s fifth, the first movement of Brahms’ first, you name it
The first time I've seen a Horn and associated it's sound was watching the recording of Battle of Heroes for Episode III in the extras DVD. Thank you John Williams.
There are so many channels on You Tube and yet you have managed to carve out something entirely apart from everything else. Been following for a while and you've done it... John Williams! Amazing! Well done, Sarah.
Apart from the novelist George Eliot (alias - Mary Anne Evans) and a few others, my list of female heroines is shamefully small, but I'm more than delighted to add Sarah Willis. A truly great artist, musician and a communicator of enormous warmth, humour and charisma. Long may she thrive as a horn player and you tuber. I'm also a great fan of the wonderfully modest John Williams.
What we needed at this moment: John Williams: *Toot toot* 😳 Sarah: Could you play Star Wars? John Williams: That was... 😯 😭💖Words cannot describe how much I love this man! 🥺🌏🎼🎬
This reminds me of when I was taking brass methods class in college and we were doing a section on horn with the principal horn player of the BSO, and he chose me to try and get a sound out of his horn. I couldn't do it!
I can relate. Our brass methods class required that we learn trumpet, trombone and French Horn. I really stunk at French Horn and even after directing bands for 35 years I still stunk at French Horn. Guess I really didn't practice the horn. That would have helped! The most difficult instrument in the band by far.
Well I think he always knew. Just check some of his scores you can find online for free. It's very demanding stuff, but it's written with deep knowledge about range, dynamics and timbre, breathing, not wearing the musicians out.... Check what he writes for strings and woodwinds - often long and ridiculously busy lines, often in voices. Lose one single note and you will throw the other section players off.
I love those two. Is there more of this interview with Mr. Williams? hey, some time ago I saw you on the channel of the Berliner Philharmoniker, explaining the Organ to children with Cameron Carpenter and the Knöpfe ;-)
I feel like he should've been able to do more, I think there's some carry over from trumpet to french horn (both small brass mouthpieces), he was probably just off guard and not focusing, plus idk if old age makes it harder to hold an embouchure
How old is this footage? She is killing Williams there by infecting him with covid lul why do they sit so close together? He has to produce more kino music
Letter to Sarah Willis I am an amateur horn player, a fan of great horn players like you, I appreciated the informative and pedagogical work you do with the horn and I greatly admire your interpretive ability. As for the challenge of distributing your horn among the interviewees, it seems anti-hygienic and not only because of a pandemic, since I understand that this challenge with the teacher John Willians was before the Sarscov2 epidemic. I live in Colombia and I got to know the horn in a foundation where we had to share the instrument with 5 people, the smell that came from the instrument's lead was disgusting and taking a breath to play was a punishment, it may be a common practice but this should not validate its safety. In my opinion, these things are not shared either in a pandemic or without it. Would you share the toothbrush? Well, it is like similar ... It is not only the current virus, but the amount of microbial life, Viruses other than coronavirus, prions and DNA fragments that even science does not know precisely their function and which could be transmitting from musician to musician whenever musical instruments are shared. I suggest a horn adapted just for the challenge, which should be disinfected before and after being used by a person. I also do not support the idea of playing all the instruments in a music store to see which one is best suited to the player before buying it, there should be other methods to test the horns or that the manufacturers guarantee the total disinfection of the instruments once tested, which it would be affecting the materials for which I do not see it probable. I would love for you to do a weekly challenge sharing some technical exercise which does not serve to improve our quality as instrumentalists. Thank you for your charisma and passion for the horn and for taking it to so many places ... many greetings, it is still beautiful. Carta a Sarah Willis Soy cornista aficcionado, fan de grandes cornistas como tu, apreció la labor divulgativa y pedagogica que haces del corno y admiro enormemente tu capacidad interpretativa. En cuanto al reto de andar repartiendo tu corno entre los entrevistados me parece anti-higuienico y no solo por andar en pandemia, ya que entiendo que este reto con el maestro John Willians fue antes de la epidemia del Sarscov2. Vivo en Colombia y conocí el corno en una fundación en la que debíamos compartir el instrumento entre 5 personas, el olor que salía de tudel del instrumento era asqueroso y tomar aire para tocar era un castigo, puede que sea una practica común pero esto no debe validar su inocuidad. En mi opinión estas cosas no se comparten ni en pandemia ni sin ella ¿Compartirías el cepillo de dientes? pues es como parecido... No solo es el actual virus, sino la cantidad de vida microbiana, Virus diferentes al coronavirus, priones y Fragmentos de ADN que aun las ciencias no conocen con precisión su función y los cuales podrían estar transmitiendo de músico a músico cada vez que se comparten los instrumentos musicales. Te sugiero un corno adaptado solo para el reto, el cual debe ser desinfectado antes y después de ser usado por una persona. Tampoco apoyo la idea de tocar todos los instrumentos de una tienda musical para ver cual se adapta mejor al interprete antes de comprarlo, deberían existir otros metodos para probar los cornos o que los fabricantes garanticen la total desinfección de los instrumentos una vez probados, lo cual iría afectando los materiales por lo cual no lo veo probable. Me encataría que hicieras un reto semanal compartiendo algún ejercicio técnico el cual no sirva para mejorar nuestra calidad como instrumentistas. Gracias por tu carísma y pasión por el corno y por llevarlo a tantas partes... muchos saludos, sigue siendo bella.
What? Sarah Willis said: " I have a freshly sterilized mouthpiece here". She know exactly all about the Horn. As you can read in the video, Sarah Willis is "Horn Player Berliner Philharmoniker ". And John Williams push just once very short in the Horn. As you say: "I am an amateur horn player". And you start writing a letter for Sarah Willis where you write all kind of nonsense about corona, bacteria, DNA and other stupidities.
Not only a reprimand, but a reprimand to a musician from a musician in two languages for the uncultivated mono-linguistic rubes. This comment puts humble-bragging new level. Non seulement une réprimande, mais une réprimande à un musicien d'un musicien en deux langues pour les rubes mono-linguistiques incultes. Ce commentaire met un nouveau niveau humble vantant. See, I can do it too.

yes!

Do you like Horn sound?

Sarah: "The worse you are the more they'll love you"

Clicked to watch Sarah Willis shove a French horn onto the face of the greatest living composer, was not disappointed
Joe hisaishi is pretty good.

@@somebody9033He created some of the most played pieces of art that the modern world has heard. Don’t downplay one of the greatest living composers.
Definitely one of the, if not THE.
He’s one of the best, if not the best, film score composers. I have so much respect for this man.
Now she can sell it to Pawn Stars with evidence showing it was played by the greatest of all composers John Williams!
And then get paid 50 dollars for it lol
Shay This horn is now worth much more money than ever before. Just the fact that John Williams played it makes it special. 😁
Take it easy with the word 'greatest'.
Y Alz Your right! He’s damm good!
you say that as if “played by sarah willis” wouldn’t make the horn community shell out
She has John Williams DNA, do you know what this means!!!! She can grow her own John Williams!!!!

Somewhere, on some island.... "Welcome, to John Williams Park"

I thought that was Beethoven. Greatest recovery in music history
Lol

My uncle used to play in the Boston Symphony when he was conducting, gosh wish I got to meet him, he would teach me so much
LOVED IT!, wish it was longer

It's still Star Wars from that Great Man. THANK you John.

Nice!
How much I love John Williams music. 😍
John Williams is the sweetest man!
So cool! Thanks Sarah!
He did better with no warm-up than I did with months of practice! Lovely, giving him the absolute hardest brass instrument to play.
That was great Ms Willis!
That riff is now cannon. Guess I have to add that snippet to my SW playlist...

Finally! Now he knows how hard the damned thing is to play - especially the stuff he writes for us!

JOHN WILLIAMS GENIUS THANK YOU JOHN THE BEST
I love John Williams! I'm thinking of pulling out my horn after 10 years. I'm sure I won't sound much better than that. Any advice?
I want to hear more about John Williams' approach to composing for the horn!
bow to the legend.
John the Baptist playing star wars on the horn is the best, thanks Sarah
Sarah, you're such a star!!!
YOU are, dear Carol!
:O two "brass goddesses" here! You are both awesome!
That dude's music created generations of horn players!
Is there more of this interview?!!!!!?
That’s lovely! 🥰
This legend is a very humble and suave gentleman.
Respect and Greetings from Morocco!
So I have problems with the last 6 Star Wars movies, plot-wise, etc. But the music, well, that has been stellar throughout the entire 9 movies.
my dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where’s the rest of the interview??
great!
Damnn.. is that it ? where is the rest of the video ??
I knew it was star wars instantly lol
Too cute!
Lovely
Splendid, thanks for sharing
Why did I get a notification for this
Horn superiority 📯
Totally unrelated: was this filmed somewhere in rural Switzerland?
Sounded more like Gustav Holst to me if you know what I mean :p
No.
No.
No.
This interaction was cute
Quietest video on RUclips ever
Good Job Mr Williams with the Horn & getting some notes out.
Now that particular horn is worth 50 billion dollars 😁
Reminds me Charles emerson Winchester III from MASH
GIRL DON'T KILL HIM
Now can someone please compose a StarWars soundtrack out out of that little motive he played right there?
I played French Horn and Trumpet in school. You'd be surprised how much your mouth position and fingering is a like.
wow.
Now tell her to compose a movie score
Love it!
In the next episode Sarah will try to take John Willams 's horn...
I am so sorry for this...
Go stand in the corner
Mam...you are crazy! :-)))
I don’t understand the difficulty here. I played trumpet and my brother played French horn. I used to play his French horn all the ti e without issue.
As a kid who foolishly chose to play French Horn in high school I know how hard that embouchure technique is.
As a 7 year player of french horn who had a natural talent for brass and most instruments. It is a difficult instrument no question about it!
Why didnt he actually play? Is the horn that hard?
I feel like he should've been able to do more, I think there's some carry over from trumpet to french horn (both small brass mouthpieces), he was probably just off guard and not focusing, plus idk if old age makes it harder to hold an embouchure

The title of this video sounds filthy
You can never clean that horn again!
Covid must be taken seriously Sarah..
As it say in the description, this video was filmed pre-Covid in August 2019.
relax, snowflake
okay that was pretty uneventful
he was like an annoyed cat you put a leash on wondering why
Sarah: Here give it a go.
John: It's a no for me Dog
Menos mal que no ha sido un soplagaitas
Ok but... Where's the playing??
Why so few?)
She should have talked less
How old is this footage? She is killing Williams there by infecting him with covid lul why do they sit so close together? He has to produce more kino music
