“sim.” is Italian for “I gave up putting in the slurs”

Sergei Nakariakov is such an inspiration to me, he inspired me to quit classical trumpet

[ragebrage]

Someone who does not play the trumpet may not understand how difficult it is to jump from high notes to low notes like that. Believe me, it takes a lot of skill to do it this flawlessly.

[Digildon]

Composer is like : "LOL, he actually played this"

You miss school for one day
The rest of the class:

Thanks for writing the notes, i will definitely be able to play it.

[dominikn]

The joy and lightness when playing literally jumps out of his face!

[Chris-soqf]

I didn’t know Johnny Depp could play the trumpet so well

[charliemontholon]

One can’t follow how fast his playing, outstanding!

[Darky]

Such a beautiful arrangement at the end. Much more resolving, dramatical and of course impactful!

[vincenthubschmann]

There’s a performance where he plays this with one finger…the guy is incredible

[DA-pbkc]

I had an instructor in highschool that played this on every brass instrument we had in the room. Wasn’t super clean but the fact that he could switch from tuba to trumpet in an instant was super impressive

[GallantGaming]

thats amazing! also that spit valve is FULL

[tommysmondust]

saw him play this live like last year, best thing experience of my life tbh, also got to talk to him because he came to our brass rehearsal, and it was just incredible. he is a phenomenal trumpet player, truly an icon!!

[tplink]

I like how at the end when hes done, he has the most unimpressed expresion on his face. Like saying, yup just another day at the office. Legend

[markjohnson]

As a brass player, idk how that's possible. Like triple tonguing that fast is crazy but the partials are even crazier
Edit: nevermind it's slurs, I wasn't paying attention but still just as impressive

[clawboss]

Sergei is insane. One tiny mistake; the first A in the arpeggiated figure in bar 19 is an A above the staff, not below.
Great transcription, love your content.

[EddieOtool]

Someone give this guy a medal. And a mechanical breather.

[mayorb]

Those octave jumps are challenging at half that speed.

Every musician living today has played "twinkle twinkle little star" out of tune and out of time at one point. What you see here is not just talent but years of practice, dedication and hard work and his recovery is nothing short of cool AF
