This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.

favorite things about this

• literally all the brass starts to get the hang of it and then the crescendos happen and everyone is like JUST. BLOW RLY HARD.
• the strings are lazy but also the same. like u can tell a lot of the ppl w/ the stringed instruments may already basically know how to play stringed instruments. like there’s definitely a section at the beginning where you hear a good portion going “oh yeah this is like. a smaller/bigger version of what i do.”
• all you hear of any woodwinds is just “pffffttt??? pFFFTTTT???? PFFFFFTTTT I SAID PFFFFTTTT!!!!!” bc woodwinds are HARD and you hear after like the first crescendo half of them just give up. they give up. they’re done. it tastes weird and my lips hurt.
• that trumpet. that person is TRYING man they  GOT this. they may not have figured out notes but they figured out LOUD and they GOT this.
