    Thank you all for your kind comments, I really appreciate it. Some people mentioned my facial expression; Well, that is just how my face is, it is my happy face and my sad face as well. God may be with you all and have a "HAPPY NEW YEAR" BEST,
  • Note his teaching technique; Praise for a good performance, then critique, with respect for the student at all times , then back to praise with sincerity to leave the student with honor and self respect . Well tempered instruction . I learned something Thank you Carnegei Hall, student and Mr. Tarkovi.

    This response from our resident trumpet expert! "Every rotary trumpet is different but it appears that Gabor has "Vienna Keys" or valves that open a vent hole on his instrument. The valve allows air to escape from the trumpet thus making certain notes easier to play and tune. These valves act as alternate fingerings. It appears that Gabor has 3 Vienna Keys and it should also be noted that the water key can act as a vent hole as well." Hope this helps.
  • Man. I like how the guy actually retained and used information given to him

    This is a great example of the difference between a piston and rotor sound. Both Gabor and Ismael have great tone in their own rights, but you can't deny the varying brightness and clarity from each trumpet.
  • @mhstpt
    The insightful comments Gabor imparts are treasures - every single nugget holds some special nuance that captures so much more than is typically performed even by many principal trumpets of the best orchestras in the world. I was in heaven throughout the master class first with the Petroushka analysis and now with Mahler 5. I truly hope some of the future trumpet virtuosos take the time to listen and watch this.

    Good God, Gabor is a phenomenal player....the way he directs it just FEELS SO RIGHT!
  • @robmoffatt1688
    what a great video. As a teacher, I'm most impressed at the student at as a learner; the ability to take on information, retain it, then apply it to his craft immediately. The difference btwn the initial playing and subsequent playing of the opening was immense well done. Also more than ok to have a concentration face on. No need to smile and nod at everything the clinician has to offer.

    The rhythm is one thing that will cause an audition committee turn his card over. Yes, he sounds fantastic, but rhythmic precision is paramount.
  • @FilmScreening
    When Tarkovi took the students trumpet his tone became much brighter. So a major part of his sound is equipment. But Tarkovi's attacks are impeccable and so amazingly appropriate for each phrase. Even the high super brilliant color he paints when at double forte are big, round and musical. I only wish I could play like this.
  • @peytonjmusic
    I'd want to study with him just for his accent...
  • @meddown6859
    I like how both of them sound! I respect classical trumpeteers a lot! I couldn't do it, my tone is too much my own the blend, which is why I don't play trumpet! Go french horns!
  • @duncangreene42
    Thanks! I thought they might be vents. They seem to keep the higher range in tune really well.
