He has the most unique tone of any trombonist I've ever heard. It's so controlled it literally sounds like a machine.
No! How could u call him as a machine? Machine is so dead and unlively, he is more like a heaven musician
@@johnlim3357 perfect
Its very machine like, I thought this recording was a midi for my first listen. Im actually not a big fan of the tone
@@cunurelive thank you. this is exactly my opinion.
@@johnlim3357 From my understanding, OP did not mean that he plays like a machine. I believe what he emphasized was that he plays very controlled, very masterfully. Similar to the way that machines perform tasks very easily, I think that OP was trying to say that Bob McChesney plays with such control that he makes it sound easy, which is usually a common trait amongst professionals of virtually any field.
I love these beginner pieces. Should be in every Rubank Book One.
Tracy Miller thats a joke right?
@@pancakekingg5584 its so easy compared to this next to impossible piece >>> ruclips.net/video/_E6AghyvGoQ/видео.html
Lol.
Ha ha ha! I hope no beginner trombone players take this seriously and get discouraged.
😂
This guy could eat baby carrots with his lips
He could eat steel
Felipe Soares pass it over please I need it
Yeah boi
That profile pic, I remember seeing it
Joey Rosentel this comment is on like all the crazy trombone videos
Euphonium players have a hard time with this. And we just got shown up by a trombone.
Time to start practicing.
Haha your right
Sophomore in high school, been playing tuba concertos for solo and ensemble since 6th grade, hoping to play this some time in my high school years
@@djhaynes136 I’m a senior in high school. I play trombone. I just sent this to my band director and asked if I could play this in our Spring Concert
@@ethanhambleton8693 nice bro! Definitely harder on trombone or tuba than it is on euphonium. My director said if I can play Concerto for bass tuba by Ralph Williams this year memorized then he’ll buy the orchestral score for it.
@@djhaynes136 cool. I’ll have to listen to that
everybody gangsta till you hit 8th position
How about a ninth???
this was an unfunny reply so i edited it
*trigger in 8th*
more like bar 76
Uses trigger 8th position
I can easily play this.
I'm extremely talented when it comes to the piano
😂got me
In really talented too
At the drums
glad i clicked the show more lol
I can play this too...
At 30 bpm
I can play the video
I wish they'd shown him playing it, his slide technique must be absolutely perfect
I play trombone and I'm dying from breath just listening to this...
I would have never thought the best version of carnival would be found played by trombone.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob McChesney at a fantastic brass instrument store in Los Angeles, The Horn Guys. What an extremely nice and down-to-earth person. We talked and played each others horns for at least a few hours (he is the only other person who has ever played my horn). Bob ... if you read this, all I have to say about this performance ... incredible technique and control ... HOLY CRAP!!!
Jokes on you I played it when I was 4
Dude, that’s epic.
Hey; just out of curiosity, you any relation to Herb?
100th like :)
I'm playing this in my pre-k band.
HA only pre-k? I'm playing this and the universe hasn't been conceived yet,
I'm playing this and I haven't even been conceived yet
I'm playing this
I'm just playing this
I am this.
I am playing this that is all
Well, I might as well start using my trombone as a garden hose after hearing this...
I showed my teacher this and he said "oh yeah, I have that one." then got the piece and played it....I cried...
And on this episode of things that probably never happened…
BRO I wish I got to see that!
At least your teacher could play it😂
I wish i knew how good a player Bob McChesney was when i first met him around 5-7 years old. My dad (who plays bass trombone) and I ran into Bob at an audio show for high end speakers. My dad said hi and I drew a picture of cheese for Bob with the caption "Bob McCheeseney" Now im 15 pursuing trombone for a living and in awe that the technical masterpiece this performance is. Someday I wish to meet Mr.McChesney in person! Now with much more awareness for the greatness I'm in the presence of.
while at an audition i heard someone play this from memory on a baritone and i was blow away. lets just say that he was made first chair and a soloist in the ensemble
If you can play this, you can as well play this from memory
@@jf8442 how? Cos practice like million of times thats why u know?
@@No-Pressure-Only-Results in the time it takes to master this piece you could probably memorize most of it by ear 🥸
@@No-Pressure-Only-Resultssheet music isn’t something you read off of. It’s like a recipe. Play it enough times and you’ll have it by memory. Like bob didn’t with ready this
"Sorry Bob, I forgot to press record. Can you play that again?"
One of the first trombone solo vids where I don't see a bunch of kids bragging "yeah I played this last year for my middle school concert" because no one that is human can do this and sound so flawless. Thusly Bob McChesney must be cyborg.
i played iut in all nation for highschool and got 5th place 30 years ago- get over it
I absolutely love how it sounds so easy! Yet........... we, as trombone players, know most trombone players wouldn't stand a chance at such a hard piece.
Time to lock myself in a tuba case.
+Megan Seyer i would do the same but i dont fit in a trombone case
+Eathan Quintero hahahahahahaha
Still locked in the tuba case?
go look at matti laiho, he's playing on sousaphone, but close enough. (I know they're different)
Kind of wants you to never come out too, Don't it!?!!!
Wtf I need to start practicing my ass off
Omar Ortiz right but then again he use hella alternate positions for this
Ive been practicing for just over 3 months now and im barely beginning to get variation 3.
Amen to that. Nice arrangement, exceptional tone quality, fantastic technique. A pleasure. And yes, it's making my practice sessions a little.. disappointing!
holy knight Lol good for you bro. I have got the first note. And the last note. That is it lol 😂
Been working at this for about a year, can get to variation 3 and I then promptly die.
Hi welcome to salty splitoon, how tough are ya?
Trombone guy: I played the song carnival of Venice
Yeah so?
Trombone guy: on the trombone
Spike Gamz212 🅱️ruh
Next thing ya know he’s in
Respect 100
Lol my favourite comment
Right this way sir
Plot twist: it's a valve trombone
thats a euphonium xd
Oh that’s why he wrote “adapted for slide trombone” instead of just trombone
Lmao a Mexican style one bruh
He plays with a pea shooter, which is insane. Source: he came and gave a master class to my college jazz band.
barbarian92 whats a pea shooter
this is one of the best recordings i have ever listened to
yep, it's a landmark recording, legendary.
A mans arm shouldn't exist after playing this
Jesus Christ that's the thing, it doesnt
His eyes were playing
After playing that their arms nor their tongue should exist
@Dominic Mendoza it says adapted for Slide Trombone. So not Valve
Breathing doesn't exist! Lol Godspeed to anyone playing this.
Melillo’s? Probably
Thanks, I’m gonna need it lol.
Beginning: Okay, easy enough. That run will take a couple of tries, but not a problem.
Theme: Even easier than the intro.
Variation 1: Whew, took some practice, but I got this.
Variation 2: Um, what the hell is this? A-are those 32nd notes?
Variation 3: ...Are you even serious? Nope.
Variation 4-5: Okay, it's calmed down a little, but I can triple tongue just fine.
Variation 6: Okay, this is cool, I'm good with this.
Variation 7: AND THEY'RE BACK....
Variation 8: *dies*
Good for you I was like.
Beginning: Nope
Theme: Nope
Variation 1-8 Nope..
***** have you just started? the theme is easy as anything out there
I've been playing for five years, but It's hard for me. Well I can take the notes but not of them makes me fluent and beautiful sound
I wonder if your life would be easier with a superbone
Cody Lam Yeah, but valves take out half of the challenge!
Plays last note on bass trombone.... passes out due to lack of oxygen
tbh the bass trombone in band with me can play higher than that
I play bass trombone and I can go up to a triple high F, being on a bass trombone doesn't make high notes that much harder
Bass trombone gang
Zachary Peterson the mouthpiece does though
depends if you're on a 6 1/2 or a 1 1/2. Any good bass trombone player should use a 1 1/2 which actually makes anything in the fifth and upper fourth octave a bit hard to reach. Youll never need that for orchestral or wind music though
Met with Bob McChesney at a concert for Dixon High School in California not to long ago. He played it live and from memory. Truly amazing. He told us that he practiced for over a year on the piece.
Proceeds to single tongue every note
Don Glover lol
sadly that's what you've got to do on a trombone
No it's not
Sos un crak caaaaaaaaaaapooooooooooo
Don Glover double and triple tongue people, practice it, it’s fundamental for advanced music
I'm a trombone player, and I could never imagine playing this; that was amazing!
What a messed up carnival.
They call this one the Concentration Carnival
His playing of this hard piece sounds very elegant and smooth despite it's technically very demanding. Great!
well holy shit
fuck
+Reafghb Fgnmm damn
+ihaveagun22 Look up Blue bells of scotland
+mik3likGAMING
Oh dear God. Lol I think it's harder to say which one is more difficult. This is a good contender.
This is harder without a doubt
*Trombone Slide has left the server*
im a damn percussionist and this just gave me ptsd
GallonHat Pat good, now you see what us brass go through!
Roger Baker i was thinking that because im percussion too
Lol play this on a timpani 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 good now play it on mallets
The most terrifying thing is that last bar, it scares me
Its literally one of my dreams to play this! I love this song!!
This is truly an underrated beautiful piece. Well done and lots is love
I'd honestly say he is THE best trombone player in the world...
+TisfatDude0703 I think you are correct
Bung Care K
+TisfatDude0703 K
I used to play on your roblox servers when i was alot younger
Soviet Union That's cool to know xD
Amazing technique, amazing legato, amazing precision. And it sounds like he's got a really large-bore horn. I've heard one guy come close to this on a baritone horn, but never a trombonist. In awe.
(in a reminiscent mood)
Texas all state etudes be like ....
evan cawthon right
Tennessee All State East as well. that shit is NOT okay.
ON GOD DOE
Agreed
evan cawthon on jah
*me, 00:40 * Hey, that's not too difficult! I could totally play that!
*me, 2:27 * A little challenging, but hey, I could still do that with a little bit of practice!
*me, 3:20 * I'd need to practice quite a bit to get this down, but that's the point of a challenge, I guess.
*me, 3:30 * WHAT
*me, 4:50 * WHY
*me, 6:30 * I...... how?
-The search for a fun trombone solo continues-
😂😂😂😂
andante et allegro by joseph e barat, grade 5 solo
one i just did for my tenth grade year
do Rimsky-Korsakov
try the the trombone concertino by david
Bob, you are the man! Beautiful, beautiful trombone playing!!
CUANDO ERA ESTUDIANTE DE TROMBON EN LA ESCUELA NACIONAL DE MUSICA EN CUBA YO TOCABA ESTO ..ME DA MUCHO GUSTO ESCUCHARLO OTRA VEZ DESPUES DE TANTOS AÑOS ..EXELENTE EJECUCION ...
Being a trombone player, I can say this: WTF!
I KNOW LIKE GODAMN
at bar 111 my mind was convenced this was a computer not a real person lol, I couldnt doodle tongue if I had a year to learn it
im a senior in high school and learning to play this right. the first page is a joke to play. the first variation takes a bit of practice, breathing is the hardest part of it. the second variation, the hardest part is the positions, and understanding of exactly where you are at all times. im almost to the 3rd variation now.
holy knight+ im a freshman, with no intentions of playing this piece
holy knight all variations are easy compared to the 8th one
Beautiful music. Why can't we got back to this great stuff
go*
Because music is constantly evolving and so are our artists. Yeah, we could probably do away with a lot of songs we hear now a days, but in all honesty, we don't have all the knowledge of how earlier composers wrote pieces like this. We'd like to think we do, but honestly it's more difficult than it seems.
That you could play these notes and still sound so peaceful and soothing is absolutely amazing.
Watch from 7:25 onwards through the end with the speed at 1.5. All hell breaks loose
I'm glad to hear this and see the music. I remember seeing this in Arban and wondering how it would sound. FIrst time I've heard it on a trombone. A friend played it on trumpet at Band Camp very impressively.
OMG,......Absolutely beautiful variation....Beautiful..The piano...tje trombone....Amazing....👏👏👏😍🎵🎶🎵🎵🎹🎹🎺🎺🎵🎶😍😍🙏🙏🎵🎶🎺🎷🎵🎶👌👍👌🎹🎹🙏👌😍😍👏👏
When he started tonguing those 32nd notes, I couldn’t even be impressed. I just cringed, because my brain didn’t understand how it was physically possible to do that so cleanly. Superb!
Can you imagine what thoughts went through the cornet players head when the original composer gave the sheet music to him way back when.
Прекрасное исполнение! Это потрясающе! Искусство таки зарождается у подножия алтарей!!!☝️
Absolutely superb! Thank you.
Bob is more than a performer, he is a musician. This piece is hard enough on a valved instrument, let alone with a slide. Well done Bob.
What if I said that I could play the first 3 lines?
I'd say that's pretty much all I can do.
+Alex K. I can do the first part of 16th notes now :)
+The Otter Gaming I just stumbled upon this, sight reading any of it would be a disaster for me. And nice job ;)
+Alex K. Thx. It's really not that hard (at least the first part). took me about 3 hours...
+The Otter Gaming Wow. I'll try to get it figured out, I might play this for solo next year. It's just insane that he can have that much control over the sound, continually.
Remember guys, the part that the Trombone is playing is originally for a cornet. So it makes sense that it's gonna be fast.
This is exactly what I played at my High School graduation concert. I spent *HOURS* in front of that d*mn Arban book. Thank you for making me cry at this advanced age. (Class of 1967!)
Tom Maynard you don't need to censor out damn
What a brilliant performance - stunning!!!!
[screams internally]
I actually didn't know some of this was physically possible. But it also just sounds good. Fantastic work on every dimension.
I really didnt think it was possible on a trombone to do it at that speed.
Perfect sound !! wwonderful !!!
That is a beautiful piece performed with excellent articulation. I enjoyed it immensely.
Intro - Theme: Simple...
Variation 1: alright, that's gonna need practice.
Variation 2-4: wait... those are 32nd notes?
Variation 5: Alright, kinda calm...
Variation 6: please stay calm
Variation 7: AANNNDD 32ND NOTES RETURN
Variation 8: *accel*

I can play this perfectly
At 40 bpm
Spell icup still good! Just try taking it up and you too could sound like this guy!
Bruh i can't even play this at 80bpm lol
@@beastlybongos9678 that's faster than 40 bpm
@@CSRookie true, I have no idea what I was saying lol
@@beastlybongos9678 ..... you're adorable btw
A thoroughly impressive display of incredible virtuosity and wonderful musicianship.
This gentleman is just amazing - thanks for sharing.
He must have a really jacked right arm from playing and practicing this song.
Nah, he's a lefty
Spike Gamz212 that’s probably partly why he plays on the peashooter
His poor poor wife
@@weinermeister9882 maybe she's into that stuff
Trombone probably isn't the only reason he has a strong right arm

Why hasn't this shown up earlier. Wow that end is just thrilling!!! Thanks!
I've listened to this about 5 times already today and I'm still searching for just the right word. All I can come up with is..aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! Very, very impressive. Bob's technique is flawless. It is great to be living in this digital age. When I grew up playing trombone (70s), there were much fewer opportunities to hear (and learn from) great players. I will begin searching for Bob McChesney recordings. Thanks for posting this.
I’d love to play this, but sadly, I only have one tongue 😢
Someone got a dam good sibelius sound card.
Brilliant! What a magnificent performance!
BRAVO! Thank You for the performance.
happy million. been here since 600k
Wow that was completely amazing, your hand must have been flying!
He was hardly playing most of the 32nd notes, all he had to do was get close to the pitch and keep a fluent sound and slide. When its that fast, the pitch didn't actually matter as much as the first and last notes. If you listen to one of the fast licks you will notice that he accents the last note and the notes in between you can't really hear.
Is that Tyler gentry from central?????
Tanks for the video and the music , it's realy beautifull,,, Congrats

Holy shet I think I'm gonna go practice now. Eventhough I'll probably never be this good.
You will, keep practicing ! How long have you been playing trombone?
about 6 years
+James Jenkins Then you'll do just fine (: I've been playing for about 5 years now and I can play the first 3 variations with some very little mistakes here and there, but overall good (:, you just have to work on note accuracy, articulation, tonguing ( double tonguing ), and high upper register. You can work on tuning when you want to and feel comfortable enough to play the first variation and after each variation you learn and can play, tune yourself and play the variations you know. I'd say play the tempo that Bob McChesney is playing at but I'd say about 10-15 beats less? And if you make a mistake it's fine just keep going (: you can fix it later, mark it, make a note of it, and fix it later, also in the video Bob is using a lip trill as he is using a regular tenor trombone, no f attachment, but if you have the f attachment you can use it to trill but if you feel like or think you can do the lip trill you can (: I use f attachment trill, but I'm working on lip trill
James Jenkins not with that attitude
Thrilling to listen and great to follow the music.
Larry Robinow
Beautiful tone. Perfect tuning. What a master.
if i have assumed correctly, you are an incredibly lucky person to be related to such a talented musician
Redefined what a trombone is...
Holy shit, that's some fast tonguing! My tongue felt like a big, heavy, clumsy lump in my mouth as I tried to imagine pulling that off. Great work!
Great trombonist! Greater still the pianist!! great performance! Thanks for sharing with us all!
VERY nicely done.👍🏻 Thank you for the performance and posting.
This dudes casual breathing with knock down a city
Someone who disliked this can you please tell me why you would do such a thing.
Right? Only the totally ignorant would dislike this.
It was an orchestra player
They rage quit at trying to play this
With the exception of Scherazade where does one need triple and double tonguing in an orchestral setting? Seems like a good piece for a band concert in the park on a summer's night.
they are jelous af and should go practice instead
So clean, so accurate and precise, so musical! Bravo!
if someone asked me to play this i think my head would actually explode ❤️
When I saw the title I was like "naaaah" then I clicked on the video and now my whole life has changed..... wtaf man
Does anyone know where I can get 3 tongues to play this piece? Asking for a friend.
wow,.....beautiful....speechless...... Thanks for this masterpiece!
Excellent pianist, As well as the trombonist!
where can I find the piano part for this song particularly. I don't like the piano in other versions. this piano part sounds original.
+Hugo Carreon The arrangement by Donald Hunsberger written for Wynton Marsalis in his book Carnaval is almost identical. You can buy it on Amazon. The only thing is that it is written in the Treble Clef for Bb trumpet, not for trombone. But if you're just looking for the piano part, that's the closest I've found to this recording.
Me: oh this must have been on valve trombone
Description: .....slide trombone.....
oh my gosh this would probably the most challenging piece of music i have seen.
try old jazz pieces
That is remarkable. Gorgeously superb.
