The Taoists refer to it as "wei wu wei," literally "action no-action." It refers to being passive within yourself while watching your body perform, and comes from long practice and having the strength and courage to let go of your body and allow it to follow its nature without needing to wrest control of it from your unconscious selves.
lol I swear, people just say this kind of stuff because they think this is what they're supposed to say. What about her eyes makes it so obvious that she's in a trance? She's just looking straight ahead.
On the contrary, I feel she is really focused and very consciously trying not to make a mistake. I say it because of her expression of relief and relaxation right after she finishes that part.
Very well done. As a former trumpet player, hutting those high notes is hard enough. To hit them that clearly and precisely and at that speed is a major feat.
I’ve been on trumpet for 3 years and honestly it’s quite easy moving up octaves when you’re playing more paced pieces. For my all city music I have a piece somewhat similar and it’s come easy for me to play notes above the scale and even to its upper octave by simply setting the tempo faster/to its original rhythm
Her face doesn’t move. She doesn’t press the trumpet into her mouth. She is purely using her core muscles, air, and instrument fundamentals to do all of that and that is insanely impressive.
She came and gave a masterclass at my high school my junior year years ago. She is an incredible player and an absolute blast to learn from. Ten thing is such a great group.
Sounds nothing like a woodwind, and that’s an insult. The trumpet is bright and flashy, which is exactly how she performed this solo. A woodwind could never (except maybe saxophone but that’s just brass with a reed)
If you look closely in her dead stare eyes you can hear the anime flashback where her instructor was giving her that one piece of advice that was both literal and spiritual that’s carrying her through this song right now
This is rlly hard to play super fast and accurately. I can play this, but at a much slower tempo, this is very impressive. I can’t even tell if she’s using double tongue or slurring it, which makes it all the better bc it shows how great her technique is.
@@TucsonDude no need for awful sarcasm my friend, it’s practically outdated slang at this point, I’d love to know where you reside because only North Koreans and Siberians may not be aware of the terms current usage , merry Christmas btw
Some people can play complicated passages by getting into the zone. They just have it buried in their subconscious and need to let it out. Not her, she was pure focus the whole time. That was a feat of fully conscious brainpower.
Yes, I hate how people are trying to downplay her skill as if she was in a “trance” or something. She was focused and played each note being fully aware of every one of them, making sure they’re all played correctly. If you stop focusing while playing an instrument, it becomes obvious
This is the result of countless thousands of hours of focused attention and precise attention to the smallest of details combined with heart and joy. The trumpet possessed nothing.
I'm an oboist and use tons of air for mine. My friend gave me her trumpet to try once (dw we cleaned the mouthpiece before and after) and OMG IT'S SO HARD. 😭
This solo is not really super difficult, it’s something I played in college and throughout my 20’s. You should keep practicing your clarinet and try other instruments as well to see which ones you’re most interested in!
That's what I thought at first too. Lol. And i didn't doubt it because terry crew. He was a wrestler i think? He has acted he plays flute and he's amazing and he can draw. :O he can do all that and he is so good. So after all that i don't have any disbelief about other celebrities having secret talents. Haha. .
I play french horn and not trumpet but let me just say how IMPRESSIVE this is! Its so incredibly hard to have this much control of your notes when playing a brass instrument. True hard work and talet this gal has!
Those eighth-note rests are a godsend for her. I used to play trumpet in a jazz ensemble. What really burns you out is high and long held notes. I've had notes that would take me an entire minute to completely recover from.
Bruh you can tell she practices a lot because there’s no forcefulness in her face and relaxation in her eyes. I practice and still get all shaky! But man that was good.
No, she’s supremely focused. She’s possessing that trumpet
Yeah that trumpet does HER bidding

@@jr7531-f5nsurprisingly accurate considering the fact that UI is inspired by flow state.

You can tell in her eyes she’s practiced this countless times - goes into a kind of trance from all the rehearsing. Brava 👏

Who knew Leslie Knope had such talent...
As trumpet player myself all I can say is she is a master. To reach those high notes continuously is a true labor.
Didn't know Leslie Knope played trumpet
I came to the comments for this.
Duke Silver did not know either,
my first thought
Tine Thing Helseth be cryin
Libertango is one of those songs that’ll never get old to me
"Literally." **heavy sigh**
The stoic look in her eyes and flawless mastery of breath control is giving me life. 😆

imagine she just starts floating while playing and becomes a beam of light
I believe that the demon possessing her is called.. talent. Absolute talent. SLAY!
the “f#@k yes i did it” at the end😭💀
Who would’ve thought Leslie Knope was a very talented trumpeter
I didn't know Leslie Knope was a trumpet player
I was about to say 😂
Leslie Knope plays a damn fine trumpet. Would like to see her go on tour with Duke Silver and Mouserat.
Sounds like boss music
That's probably because she's a boss

Is she playing against her will?
Yes, "Against Her Will" is a beautiful song. The composer's best friend is named William. It was written for William's wife.
She’s playing against her will against her will, according to the title
eh, she smiled at the end i think she was really focused
Does she play the Trumpet Voluntary or does she play Against Her Will?

This is the result of countless thousands of hours of focused attention and precise attention to the smallest of details combined with heart and joy. The trumpet possessed nothing.
When someone took 'look at the back of the audience' way too far:
Nah this is perfect usage of that technique and it works!
That awkward moment when the transposition is for Bflat trumpet but Tine is playing on a C trumpet
I love this piece, one of the first ones I remember listening to when I began picking up trumpet and been one of my favorites since
I can’t believe how much she played just after taking that teeny breath for the .5 second breaks. Awesome!
I don’t think non-trumpeters fully realize how insane this is. My tongue would be on fire after that.
I'm an oboist and use tons of air for mine. My friend gave me her trumpet to try once (dw we cleaned the mouthpiece before and after) and OMG IT'S SO HARD. 😭
It is so cool to watch someone be so good at an instrument when I’m sitting over here playing clarinet in a middle school band.
This solo is not really super difficult, it’s something I played in college and throughout my 20’s. You should keep practicing your clarinet and try other instruments as well to see which ones you’re most interested in!
@@VainFrigguswhat a backhanded thing to say
_"Stare deeply into the audience's soul"_
*And she took that to heart...*
i used to do trumpet for school,
I cannot breathe looking at that huge talent

If you can get possessed slowly, you can get possessed quickly
Nah fam, she's in the zone.
What a great gig for Leslie Knope
That’s amazing!!! I used to play the trumpet myself and I could never play that fast!!! Bravo!!!
I could do that.
