Hi, I'm Tim Cobb, Principal Bass of the New York Philharmonic.

Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

That's the bass solo which introduces the third movement

to use a solo bass, and a muted one at that,

to introduce this strange, haunting melody,

which is then passed off to bassoon, and tuba,

until you have this vast canon, a truly beautiful mosaic of sound.

It's a huge honor to perform this solo, and I always look forward to it.

The first time I played it in the Philharmonic was back in 2012

I hope it won't be too long before we're all back,

performing for you in David Geffen Hall again.

Thank you very much for watching and stay safe.
