I’m not a Prof in in in addition to doing the questions and the hangout and the thing I now have to be translating as well so um gab said the most important thing for him for him as a his as a person is to um is to be this daily this daily the daily program and and do you think that the students do you help the students to create this daily program do you do you just show them what you do [Music] yeah for everybody it’s different okay um his program is full of a lot of cantilena why for the air or for the sound

For the air and for the sound for the sound okay and uh I have intervals uh in I’ve heard some of your intervals it was show me you know that czy one [Music] so it sounds so easy this is the the beginning from from the intervals training this is for for me the importance and I play every day maybe 40 50 minutes warm-ups aren’t you then

Tire if I did 40 40 minute warm-ups I’d be tired yeah but but uh after 10 minutes I was warm yeah but I played the daily uh daily exercises for for uh for me so before the the rehearsal with Berlin field I play from from 9 to 9:50 and then I have 10 minutes less coffee and then

I really you drink coffee no no I think tea and in the last time I can’t drinking coffee and I have notic no but but for 20 years I was for Cafe but but no it’s it’s it’s okay you’re getting old but but maybe the coffe is not so strong maybe maybe that’s what it is you go to

Italy and I find in Italy yeah Italian Cafe is a dangerous yeah okay so you do you do your interval training and you do your warm-up for for 50 minutes but tell me when you’re talking to the students do they all want to know what you do do do you have to give them your program do you sit and warm up for them yeah with my students in the

Academy I play one or two times M programs and uh then I see is my program good for the students or or not when not then it’s not uh how do you see if it’s good do they sleep do they are they too difficult yeah when when the Ambush is a little more too strong fast what is fast uh uh too too tight too to too tight

I can’t speak English anymore um the Amer is too too tight too too then is the program not good uh this is important that you have a relaxed feeling in the warmups but I find that’s usually done by the air in the warmups yeah so I think 90% the trumpet playing is air when you have a good pression of the air then you have not so many problems with the

U we say the same to the horns it’s very true when you have not so good good good air or not so optimal then you have problems here and you press and and you close also uh this is this is for me important so every day is checking do you sometimes look in a mirror or are you not a mirror practicer you’re a sound practicing uh

I I practice with mirror before 20 years when I I I study in the a high school then I look um every day two three times for for the Ure no not not uh not so much not so much I don’t like to and I think yeah yeah this is for me not so interesting yeah the guys aren’t as vain as us girls um

Christopher Emanuel I don’t know where you’re watching from but thank you for your question he says what is your secret to smooth playing in general and especially through the registers so I play for for first time in the morning a little with with MSP and I uh I concentrated off the air and then when I play with trumpet

I play not so loud I play Maybe NE [Music] piano and I I concentrated the yeah I can hear all the trumpet players watching going oh God it just sounds so beautiful but I really think it’s it’s how you use your air yeah this is the the same feeling when when you’re singing and you play the the same olle in the

UK who’s actually a horn player he he said what exercises do you do to keep the air flowing in the high register it’s the same maybe for us horns this is going to be a free lesson today yeah but you but you get a pumpkin I pay you a pumpkin yeah so in the high reg we have that’s mid in the middle register the trumpets have a a tongue position which says

Ah [Music] right okay and the the the the vocable in the H is is e the vowel is in the high register is an e or an e e wow okay and when you play um less and slow and slow you put it also a little with with a Tong okay and in the Deep Reg you you talk to try this on the horn everybody [Music] together do can’t here in you’ve got you’ve got them all here hello this is the galor cam okay the galor cam so

Tu okay um in South Africa Laura has said greetings and Lee in Maine hi has said such a lovely sound you see everybody is watching and everybody is is asking questions it’s fantastic um so but this this you do a lot of people have have commented also sent me questions before and said you know he’s so concentrated when you see him on the digital concert hall and but it’s it’s a it’s a lot of hard work you

I think garor is actually one of the people I see the most here in the filmon he’s always here an hour before you you on tour if you have a room next to Gabor on tour which I very often have had forget having an afternoon sleep because because you put a lot of hard work into it it’s important to tell the students as well

I think that just how much is uh um how much do you practice I know it’s a s question but how much hour maybe the warm ups and then daily practice maybe 1 hour and then when when uh when I U play in Orchestra then I have two times to half hour was rehearsal and then after the second rehearsal

I believe maybe that’s the other thing he doesn’t go home after the second rehearsal we’re all off and Gaba stays here and you yeah maybe 30 minutes relaxed when we playing big Mala Symphony or straw pieces um then it’s very important after the second rehearsal relaxed then you have more chance next day of a nice s and not a hurting lip um uh

Kendall gray hi Kendall he watches he’s a Big Horn hangout um supporter he says watching you play like on the digital Concert Hall you always seem so incredibly focused no distractions did you work to develop this or how how do you how do you it’s true when you play yeah [Music] is it’s very important I think we all had to learn this gabo saying um since we started working with the cameras in the digital

Concert Hall um we have we had to learn not to let let them distract us we know that they’re there and we know that we’re live but you have to learn to forget it you have to learn how to how to live with it but how doog I’m not quite sure this is a really good thing he said while during the concert he um

Gabor is uh is tries to be just in his music and U concentrate on the music and tries to make everything a little bit more simple so that it’s not a big a big deal you don’t think of oh all these people and all these people watching yeah yeah if he think if he thinks all his family are watching in

Hungary then uh then uh he would get even more nervous so it’s better not to think that is your family watching now your Han hello WR us WR us um yeah so it’s important to build up a little barrier I think I’m I totally agree with that gabo says what very important for him is this team feeling this feeling of being with his section and everybody concentrating and being the best section they can possibly be in that moment um and

I totally agree because that the moments when I feel that in my horn section those the moment you feel like you’re flying you know teamwork yeah yeah yeah is one of the most important things you have in the orchestra so I have a couple more questions one from Michael Michael fan she says how many years do you already play in

The Amazing Berlin Phil and how was your audition and your poia your test year oh 2004 2004 I play the audition 2003 uh December Earth and I beginning to playing first February 2004 but I play one year together with Bavarian radio that’s right you you had I remember you were going back to the Bavarian radio and coming to us so you actually were playing the whole time yeah

I playing one years long uh all the but I have not the bad feeling from the pro yeah from the tri but I have a job in Munich so for me it was important to playing game in Berlin but uh I have also in this time family with with two Childs and um it was difficult huh yeah and

I have good programs the the the the deal in the burin field is usually two years on trial but because gabo was going backwards and forwards between the B Bavarian radio and the and the Berlin Phil um the trumpet section here were actually very kind to him and said after one year they didn’t want to do it anymore they would vote after one year and and you got [Music] in he had a lot of the big pieces in his in his trial year and and you hear it pretty soon

I remember I was in the orchestra you played everything that there is difficult we’ve had a message from tobas from across the across the road at the digital at the Berlin Phil media office hi Tobias thank you for watching toas Miller and he asked do you ever check your performances in the digital Concert Hall archive it’s a very good question cook yeah

Okay g checks it to make sure everything’s okay in the archive okay that’s that that’s good to [Music] yeah was just saying that he um he does check his things and it’s a great way to learn and to see see what you could do better um if you’re watching your your own performances the problem I find that sometimes when

I watch a digital Concert Hall I get nervous because I think sometimes when you think you’re just playing along and you realize oh and and it’s so it’s so exact and you see everything sometimes my mother um writes me a text in the interval and says uh Sarah brush your hair at the back or something you know things that have nothing to do with the music no it doesn’t it doesn’t happen to

G by the way thinking of your hair don’t you think that this this this looks like your hair I think it looks like your hair yeah little all right I’m not allowed to talk about hair anymore he said I’m not allowed to talk about here um so thank you for that question um where are we um what

Kai wants to know he says you are one of my favorite trumpeters what is your favorite Solo or orchestra okay whatever or orchestra St pces or petruska this is nice I love it yeah and your favorite Orchestra yeah Berlin but Berlin Phil of course but you actually you you studied in Hungary and you had a very close connection to

Vienna and to Austria um you are actually an official Austrian um not official an unofficial Austrian you have a lot of friends in Austria you still play a lot you have you like the the Austrian uh in this time when I beginning to playing proas yeah U I played together with hansan hansan was a solo Tropic player uh in this time yeah it was 94 in um in philonic and he’s a very very great player and

I have the luck with his to study and um I study so little the Vienna Style with h what’s the difference Vienna style Berlin style I think the style is different well music f is different to Berlin filon that’s very true and music fan is a very is not so big yeah and you have a very good acoustic yeah so in in

Vienna in music for you can play very short and this is a sound but when you play in Berlin Phil harmonic the same so short you heard nothing yeah so this is this was a different but Hans was not really the Vienna style H was a very very good style and very musicality and uh I learn uh

I hope I learn many things from from from Hans you spend quite a lot of time in Austria you you play with Pro brass and you have the quintet the Berlin vi v Vienna and um and also you have some very good friends that come from um from Austria and I think most of you will will will know um this group once you see them they have sent

Gabor a greeting as well yakob [Music] foree see [Music] see [Laughter] super okay now you have to translate what did sulan say that was noil brass of course everybody knows a mod an honor to have a video from them what did what did he say he said hello garor happy for your Hangout I’m said buy and kiss yeah yeah and and what did thas sayas apparently

Thomas Gant at the end said stupid trombone player meaning Sultan which of course he’s not but uh fantastic so oh thank you so that was a little surprise that we prepared for you the other thing I forgot to say at the beginning which is very very important is that this hangout is being sponsored by the people that make uh

Garo trumpets shle shle and you play on only only shle trumpets at least the rotary trumpets is that right thank you very much Boys by the way for um for sponsoring the hangout fantastic tell us just a little bit about about your connection with [Music] SHO the connection started when they were when he was studying with Hans

Gan in in in Vienna and um and then you sorry I forgot the rest um yeah they had he and Hans had time when they were touring to go to the go to the workshops and um and try out instruments 96 he and Hans both started to play on Charle instruments once they’ been testing them and and found found one that they really liked became a very good friendship all rotary trumpets come from

Chago series a Berlin series of trumpets fantastic of the rotary trumpet why why do you call it Berlin series because you’re all testing them or yeah g g as and and floran also testing the trumpets and um we try uh one big area from the from the B flet C trumpet D trumpet e flet trumpet also rotary and piccolo trumpet yeah we try uh making five trumpets in the area bin but we working now you’re working now um and

Charle I mean I’m very happy because the horn Hangouts have turned into a very expensive hobby so I’m really grateful if someone wants to do some advertising on them and come and help us out because it’s not just me and Galo here today we have we have yakob who’s doing all the video mixing we have George behind the camera we have

Tim and Aiden in Melbourne so it’s it’s quite a big big undertaking so thank you to Charo for that thank you the other thing you are um you are doing with Charle is you you’ve created a set of of master classes this is something new yeah this is uh this [Music] is lot of lot of people have asked

Gabor um if he could do some master classes in shagle organize it they have a good camera team and good people are organizing it so he’s done a series or what is it it’s just one video or series when is it going to when is it going to appear well it’s going to appear next week gab’s new master class for trumpet but of course on the horn

Hangouts thanks to Charle we have a little tiny excerpt of of what you’re going to be able to see on it here it [Music] comes [Music] meton so that was a little preview of the new master class byor was that right yeah um so you do lots of EXs and you you you were quite strict not too long not too short you were quite strict yeah

I found I I thought Gaba was quite strict in it and Gaba said well he’s not really strict unless he’s in a bad mood then he can be really strict um been in stud he was in a studio from 10 till 5: in the afternoon and um at some point he had to record for six hours so

I guess I guess at some point you get a little bit stri oh every excerpt was without a cup so he if he played a wrong note then he had to start from the beginning again yeah okay it’s um at the very end of the day he had to record the text and he said by then he wasn’t feeling very nice so but it’s still very inspiring and good that

Charle is doing this and in a week or so we’ll we’ll post about it on the horn Hangouts um so uh when when we know I don’t know if charo’s watching right now hi boys if you are write us a link where people can watch it okay yeah so let’s get back to some more questions um Ezekiel from

Argentina what time is it in Argentina it’s like morning 5:00 in the morning it’s very early um he wants to know when you play the trumpet what is the feeling you think for the beginning of the sound yeah a sound coming with the air together when you [Music] singing I think not of the the tongue only of the air yeah

I I think I agree think it’s only the tongue of only of the air not of the tongue it’s the same for all of us brass instruments at the beginning I have going to draw me something going to get a little picture yeah okay zoom in George got that beginning of the note you have a beautiful t with t coming and a here yeah is the is the is the air is the open

H it’s the position from from your song okay so ah is the air and wait is the air okay and is the direction okay all this comes together t comes out [Music] one and in the high the it’s the same is e e t h i i i t Okay CH it again just cuz I like your high notes wow

I think they’re probably Y and in the Deep reg you have and in the low register you have so t for High T for the middle and in the L so I’m going to I’m going to sell this on eBay I think uh little bit of burlin Phil I think okay okay it’s important when you start a note that the that the tongue and the air work together because if you start the tongue without the air behind it then it just goes or you go yeah and yeah okay air is the most important

I think that’s the main thing that that I’m really happy he keep saying that because it’s very true um I have a little question um about girls oh yeah I told you fear the French horns fear the French horns Veronica says there are more and more brilliant French horn players in the world who are females but why are there still no so many ladies in the trumpet section is this still a masculine

World trp he’s just saying things have really changed we have two top soloists Tina and and Allison but Orchestra world I think he means she means Veronica oh in Orest it’s ch it’s changing I I I find in Scandinavia it’s really changed in America as well and also in the academy you have just yeah we have uh um my student in no maros she’s now

U with with she study now with rhy but she was in the academy she was a girl and now is Cil yeah um study with tamas also a girl not so masculine things are changing we have another girl I want to say hello to Leela in New New York Lan is third Horn of the New York philonic and she’s watching and warming up in the

Brass Room so oh hi to New York Phil Hi l thanks for watching um Anton in Berlin how often has you played seconden never never me gabo has just said live on the horn Hangouts that the second Brandon B coneto is not a p for him why the the technique for for for this piece is is very different from the orchestra being but you play solo concertos all over

I play solo concerto but not so high not so high this is two not too high for me okay and uh for this I can maybe Practice 6 months but then I have in the middle register not nice sound but I’m going to ask with the stupid horn player question what happens can’t you take a piccolo trumpet or a higher trumpet piccolo trumpet but is piccolo trumpet uh is also sound is different says that he he needs a different technique to play brandenberg to than to play in the orchestra and then his sound he doesn’t like his sound well that’s fair enough

I think we don’t have to play every piece so that that’s a good a good question andon break a question um more questions is this okay no no it’s okay it’s okay because we could talk about your family your dadly but I like these questions because you can Google there’s a great article about you in the trumpet

Guild yeah and um if you if you Google that someone can maybe find the link you it tells you all about gabor’s you know life and how he became a trumpet player and your dad and playing at weddings and things so I’d like to take lots of these questions from the people watching um George Naki I hope

I said that right in Damascus says what mou piece do you use the most and do you change a lot the mouthpieces during a concert good question thanks George um what is that I play uh uh Yamaha 15 E4 with brazel me re brazel me is rim rim rim rim mine will I can’t unscrew my rim you couldn’t

I play every mouthpiece with the same R that’s very important every mouthpiece with the same Rim I would do that but I can’t get the rim off so I play the piccolo also with the same this is for for my lips important is it why so he gets the same feeling the same feeling does some people play with different rims all the time yeah it’s not everybody’s way to do it but that’s the way the way the way he likes it okay he has big teeth okay and if he takes a smaller mouthpiece then it hurts okay yeah okay has quite a big mouthpiece and

Do you change you don’t do you change the mouthpiece uh during a concert depending what instrument you’re maybe when we blink very deep uh Parts yeah maybe shov of the end we have a little crazy very low low part of playing I play with FL hor okay I like it’s you I remember um when in our berin

Phil brass Ensemble gboy is usually like right on the outside playing all the difficult stuff but a few times he comes and stands next to me and plays really beautiful flugal horn solos like in Mr JNS and and and Garo at one point in the concert he took the flugal horn off his mouth and he just said playing the fluga horn is like a massage do you remember yeah yeah flug horn to playing is in the big concert when you’re playing many times is the same feeling it’s like a massage um uh oh thank you

Christopher you gave us the the link to gab’s interview that’s great um uh Vagner from s Paulo and Brazil isn’t this amazing people are watching everywhere um says what do you do in your free time to balance your job and your personal life do you have a hobby or how do you distract yourself only the Hobbies you can talk about live

I was just watching um appy water said can you example your routine warmup AB you’ll have to watch The Hangout when when we put it on YouTube because gab already did that about half an hour ago um so you can do it again um people want to know about the the Pistons uh versus the rotary how do you decide in the orchestra what trumpet to play water on what is the tradition in the burin fil and how do you decide actually they play everything with rotary rotary vales am

I saying that right [Music] okay that was por best and and a Westside Story and also that late night concert NATO and the you’re a very German group huh he just said his section two Hungarian one Austrian one French 30 years ago not even they didn’t even have the trumpets the Piston trumpets now everybody in the section has actually though at least they know how to play them yeah yeah okay so it’s just being flexible

I mean it’s um and and who who do the that that’s that’s the Trad the tradition is on the rotary trumpets and I mean even in America now you remember in Chicago Symphony and they they they’re starting to play on the the German repertoire on the German yeah okay um there’s uh what was that yeah Pierre just wrote back the keys for a

B flat and high C what is oh this the C trumpet okay uh a trumpet we have the [Music] the okay to get a better intonation there’s these trigger keys on it this guy is just but would you play is to here yay SP a note yay b d f okay but this these help you get the notes and but it’s only on the

C trumpet there’s nothing for that on the B flat trumpet okay you can put it on the B okay okay okay thank you that was a good that was a good question um we have the little bit of the problem that we’re going out of time um I think we’re going to have to do a a second a second hangout because there’s just so many questions for you um uh uh oh that’s funny we just mentioned nataro and

Gonzalo grow is watching and he was actually the arranger remember yeah yeah yeah hi we were just talking about your peace it’s funny that you’re you got up very early this morning well done um so uh yeah the Pistons and not needs pistons and heavy lifting and gab was amazing there you go oh you were thank you you were you were um so uh yeah

Ry hello Ry anyone else getting deafened by the trumpet very funny well think of how I feel here Gabor I am I admire you so much you are incredible you sit in the hottest seat in the orchestra you and stfond door I think have the two hottest seats in the orchestra um the high and it just it just always works

I know a lot of hard work goes into that I know how much you work you practice and you work a lot of the time what would be if you were going to give a Bice to all the students watching um your most important the G most important tips for trumpet and life soab says in the most stressful moments the your best help is the music you have to simplify everything and get it away from all these out out side distractions get it back to the music and make it simple and that’s what [Music] helps you can practice this concentration at home alone how

Al Ro life if if Gore is going to play M five then he sits at home 5 days before week before and plays every day he plays the symphony all the way through with no distractions with with the the [Music] part to know how he feels and where are the most difficult yeah yeah he doesn’t sit there and count all the rest you don’t wait for the for the slow movement with the it’s very important to have a good relationship to the music it’s not only about the [Music] technique trumpet is of course a very dangerous instrument if you’re not if you don’t feel quite

Prepared and if your umer is not feeling its best that day it can really sound sometimes like a quite horrible if he doesn’t practice for three days no one would recognize him I’m not quite sure if that’s true but uh but this is the other side of it of course to concentrate on the music side um but if you aren’t if you aren prepared and

I Garo prepares like really practically nobody else I know and and you can hear it in it’s playing I think I’m not translating that’s just my opinion um but he says if you’re not prepared and if you haven’t put the hours in then uh being being as involved in the music as you want doesn’t help you still got to get the notes the the exercises that we talked about at the beginning of the hangout are just really so important they’re not only just important they’re essential the yeah yeah that’s is yeah yeah well

Gabor there are a lot a lot of people you’re going to read this and you’re going to be amazed if if you have any more messages for Gabor please um write in and and tell us and I he will get the get the the chat later on today if you have some more selfies of where you’re all oh look look that’s the
