Mendelssohn Concertpiece 2- my recording!

Author: Curinfinwe

Hi everyone,
I know I'm probably just throwing myself to the dogs here, but a friend and I (both 2nd year university) performed the 2nd Mendelssohn concertpiece today- it was my first go at bassett horn, so it's a little rough, but if you have any feedback I'd love to hear it! It was such a fun piece to put together fast, and such a fun instrument to play.

It's nice. The two of you were a bit under-rehearsed, and it needs more sparkle, especially toward the end, but you got a fine sound out of the B.H.

The Milhaud is also good. For information on it, see http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=69347&t=69171.

However, I'd take down the Brahms if I were you. The intonation is unpleasantly off.

Thanks.
Yes, we were definitely under-rehearsed because we threw it together fast, but I'm glad to hear I sounded okay on the bassett.
The Milhaud was recorded quite a while ago, and our ensemble and intonation is much better now.
I did take the Brahms down, I had only uploaded that because my mom wanted to hear it and I forgot it was there! (oops... embarassing...)
