Watch this guy play some virtuosic Paganini on TUBA and make it look easy

This in an incredible tour de force… but the tuba might not be the instrument you associate with it

The long lines of rapid-fire semi-quavers in Niccolò Paganini's Moto perpetuo demands the greatest precision and dexterity from nimble-fingered violinists.

But tell that to Albert Wieder… and his tuba.

Albert takes on the Paganini flurries, complete with circular breathing and a multi-tracked choral accompaniment (just to add a extra musical challenge). 

Albert is a composer, arranger and professor for tuba at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory in Eisenstadt, Austria. You can follow Albert on Facebook here.
