I remember playing this in high school over 50 years ago. Always liked this song.

It's great to hear this excellent paso doble being performed at a sensible march tempo. Thank-you! 🙂👍

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Ideal for dancing. Not so much for military marching but who wants to... ?LOL. Actually sounds ideal for the original intended marching (besides dancing) which was for sun roasted Spanish Summer afternoon popular "pasacalles", when nobody wants to collapse fast marching after a paella and red wine. Thanx from Barcelona.

I really like this version. It sounds like the tempo is being pushed a little bit at a time which is awesome. Do you think you guys can do Toccata for Band?

[joeyvocaire]

the times I've played this, its always so fast, this seems a little slow to my liking but very fun as always

[logicalnonsense]

Does like... Is there a video of how i can play measure 66 on trumpet? LIKE Im struggling to get that part and im the only one with first trumpet for this song

[danielellis]

Good precision in this performance. I wonder if it might be enhanced with more contrast in the dyanics and stronger use of crescendos.

[fernandofuentes]

El tiempo es perfecto. No sé por qué las bandas americanas lo tocan tan rápido. Así está muy bien.

As a flute player I'm dying inside

[uuuuu-dc]

It's not a march, it's a pasodoble.

[bcnmanhattan]

I wonder why you changed the author's name to Jamie when it's Jaime. As if it weren't enough with the endless debates in Spain about being Jaime or Jaume and Texidor or Teixidor. Spanish or Valencia-Catalan. Or was this a way to settle in the middle?. Like let's make him English...LOL

[SierraLeggy]

I honestly prefer the Gary Fagan arrangement

[emanuelgonzalez]

way too slow, I had to play this at at least twice the speed

[liz]

The one we are playing is much faster, but I like it :]

[HelloooThere]

Torture for clarinets playing offbeats constantly

[rosamariajimenez]
