John Williams takes Sarah's Horn Challenge

The Force was with legendary film composer John Williams when he bravely took Sarah´s Horn Challenge in Tanglewood in August 2019 (pre-Corona) during an interview for the new film "A World Without Beethoven?". Did he play Beethoven or Star Wars - what do YOU think?
John is a hero.

Sarah: "The worse you are the more they'll love you"
JW: "Ok, let me grab that tuning slide real good"

[LukeFaulkner]

Toot... toot...
That *WAS* Star Wars!
If John Williams says it's Star Wars, it is Star Wars.

Clicked to watch Sarah Willis shove a French horn onto the face of the greatest living composer, was not disappointed

[ryanharris]

He’s one of the best, if not the best, film score composers. I have so much respect for this man.

[blasi]

Now she can sell it to Pawn Stars with evidence showing it was played by the greatest of all composers John Williams!

[alejandrovillegas]

She has John Williams DNA, do you know what this means!!!! She can grow her own John Williams!!!!

[JonatasMonte]

The first time I've seen a Horn and associated it's sound was watching the recording of Battle of Heroes for Episode III in the extras DVD.

Thank you John Williams.

My uncle used to play in the Boston Symphony when he was conducting, gosh wish I got to meet him, he would teach me so much

[KM-omch]

Can you play Star Wars?
That was Star Wars I played.

Most awkward chat ever in music history

Who could not like this guy he's just- 😣🥺

There are so many channels on You Tube and yet you have managed to carve out something entirely apart from everything else. Been following for a while and you've done it... John Williams! Amazing! Well done, Sarah.

I've been waiting for this ever since I watched the first Horn Challenge. Love, love LOVE that man. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Apart from the novelist George Eliot (alias - Mary Anne Evans) and a few others, my list of female heroines is shamefully small, but I'm more than delighted to add Sarah Willis. A truly great artist, musician and a communicator of enormous warmth, humour and charisma. Long may she thrive as a horn player and you tuber. I'm also a great fan of the wonderfully modest John Williams.

What we needed at this moment:

John Williams: *Toot toot* 😳
Sarah: Could you play Star Wars?
John Williams: That was... 😯

😭💖Words cannot describe how much I love this man! 🥺🌏🎼🎬

[williamholke]

I love John Williams, what a humble man

[IsaacW.]

"How bout some star wars?"
*Sings his own piece as if he doesn't know how it goes*

[seigasuki]

Nice!
How much I love John Williams music. 😍

[Berley_]

[SamuelLeTonqueze]

It's still Star Wars from that Great Man. THANK you John.

[jcortese]

That dude's music created generations of horn players!
