Holy Count got it in one! The sadly missed Fred Dibnah

A young Wynton Marsalis shows us how the piece should be played. (On a cornet I do believe)

Very, very impressive, but utterly pointless!  A triumph of technique over musicality.

Yes I do agree J:  Although this was a piece of audience candy at the end of a formal concert, delivered with much more embellishment than really necessary, it does illustrate the complexity of the piece.

It also serves to show the very fine distinction between true musical virtuosity and overkill.

Great news Richie. 8-)

This piece is from Wagner's Die Walküre part of the 'Ring Cycle' of three 'operas' and an introductory work.

The only thing we need to do now is to ensure that you have between 4 and 5 hours (depending on the production) to enjoy this particular 'opera' in its entirety.

If you want to do in the complete Cycle, set 17 to 18 hours aside - again depending on production.


This is it in the context of the work;
