In any case, is that your instrument?

Get this through your alternative LS skull, Mo - Ukrainians are NOT Russians. Not ever.
I'd advise you not to get into a politico-national argument with me, and I'd strongly advise you to stay clear of making incendiary and offensive statements about nationalities, religions, and the like.
As for your little utuber - if that really is you playing, then that brings up several possibilities.
Music listeners, especially those concentrated here, are devote to music. A side effect of that is that we tend to idolize musicians. That may often extend even to everyday, mundane, shuffling, sundry Joe Blows who happen to play some instrument or other. Someone who can read and play classical music is a bit more rare than the 10-on-every-suburban-block electric geeetawr weekend garage players.
All of that might serve to raise your profile and level of respect around here. But is doesn't.
In all likelihood, your playing [if that really is you doing the playing in that video] is the result of an overbearing mother and a stultified, probably nightmarish childhood, the repercussions of which have persisted into your adult years.
My father had a degree in music and he was a choral conductor and arranger. He knew lots of musicians over the years. As a conductor, he had to deal with lots of personalities. He often told me about the jerks he had to deal with [he had zero patience with them]. As a result, I never developed a starry-eyed attitude toward musicians.
Additionally, when I played in my high school concert band, I knew lots of jerky guys. One or two were borderline criminally insane.
Thus, I've always viewed musicians as just people - not some inspired, touch-by angels geniuses.
The irony is that there are, in fact, real artists who - in their lives - really are geniuses, touched angels. They operate their lives at a level different and far above that of everyday schleps. THOSE musicians really do deserve our admiration and respect. Bruno Walter comes immediately to mind as an example, and there are many others.
Until you demonstrate a generosity of character, and until you show something other than a rigidly neurotic, childish petulance, you're really little more than a rather acute case of arrested development. Your mommy should've let you play ball with the other kids, rather than locking you alone in that room and making you practice all day.
Oh, and I can read music - just not quickly or well. So be it.

He called for and used a wind machine. It was used to simulate the sound of a storm, in the Alpine Sym. Wind machines were well known devices during the time, used in many theatrical productions. It may surprise you that there were no loudspeakers in existence back then for the purposes of PA systems.
"Breathing" machines were used for unfortunate victims of Polio. The machines were called iron lungs.

Oh, and I might as well be tediously precise: it was once for winds, not sure if it works for brass. Once again if you had any practical experience with instruments....You should use one when you go postal, you could spew 5 more paragraph's worth of blather before passing out. : )

It is, and, though much Strauss has passed through it, and it's big brother the Bass, no Alpine Symphony circular breathing.
I couldn't pass the physical.
