I listen to when I miss my godfather.The last time we spoke on the phone he told me to listen to it and we can talk about it the next time we meet but unfortunately he passed away.

I don't know about any of you, but I felt lost in the music and want to say thank you to the people who took the time to play this

[jsaavedr]

Such a clean sounding performance. Love it!

[ShaneBaker]

I've loved that piece since I was a kid. Fine performance - thank you.

[emilyc.]

I listen it in the school in musik all times! It's a cool composition!

[derekstuartclark]

Such clarity! It's lovely hearing what's going in the "accompaniments" of the variations. And the fugue is outstanding. Bravo"

[michaelvargo]

Awesome! Very educational. Exciting too! Thanks for sharing!

[simontaylor]

Thanks Mr Btitten, my all time favouriye piece of Classical? music

[ariannagorbet]

My favorite parts
2:34 (Oboe): The oboe has a very nice sound (even though I like the bassoon more)
3:27 (Clarinet) The clarinet is my favorite instrument (other than the bassoon)
4:05 (Bassoon) I adore the bassoon. It’s the most beautiful low instrument I’ve ever heard.

[tomotoole]

It came out in 1946 I was 10, in Royal Marine School of music at 14 1952 and heard it at that time.

[dhusk]

My class made me watch this for an assignment, But I actually like the music!

[peterwimsey]

in the fugue when the trombones first enter, in most performances you hear glissandi between notes, but in this performance the notes seem to be articulated even though it is a fast speed. impressive.

Vždy ma poteší takáto hudba, nesmierne krásna melodická téma a pôvabné spracovanie pre jednotlivé nastrojove sekcie ... často využívam pri prezentáciách a rozboroch zvukov jednotlivých hudobných nastrojov . Mimoriadne vydarené dielko a nahrávka .Super, ďakujem za všetkých hudobnikov 🤗🎼🎶

[lildemonchan]

I am watching this for an Early College Music Appreciation class and the oboe section with those beautiful strings in the background pulled on my heartstrings.

[stefmethaudsw]

The tuba player is Chris Olka. Great player!!!!

[aekaco]

[zartsymusicstudios]
