It's exciting and challenging.

Oops. Truthfully, I thought it was very possible that nobody would be interested because there was no prize attached or guarantee that it would be worth the effort. The answer is: horrible, terrible, horrific, terrific. The reason I thought this was remotely relevant was this post on 10/21, Dan Leeson's response to Maurizio Fieschi's translation of "con brio" -- > Maurizio > > You are terrific!! > > Dan Leeson -- and the flashback that it induced. I once said the same thing to an Italienne, and she reacted as though she had been slapped until I explained that "terrific" and "terrible" are not synonomous. See, I told you it might not be worth the effort. --Steve Heinemann P.S. Still looking for Bernstein Sonata information.... ------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: [kl] New music files available. From: Oliver Seely <oseely@-----.edu> Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:00:07 -0400 The Nonetto in Eb Major for winds and strings by Muzio Clementi is available for download and your playing pleasure. The notation file is in Finale 3.7 format and the MIDI file is standard type 1 with each instrument having a separate track. The Nonetto is a one movement work. I have read that it is likely unfinished. Too bad, because it is a lovely work, fun to play and not too challenging. My Web page for you newcomers is http://www.csudh.edu/oliver/clarmusi/clarmusi.htm Happy playing, all. Oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: [kl] metal clarinet mouthpiece From: "Mary (marymuse)" <herald_mari@-----.com> Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:12:14 -0400 Hi! I recently purchased a three star metal clarinet without a mouthpiece. The opening is too small for a regular mouthpiece, and it seems that there may be an adapter part missing that goes from the mouthpiece into the instrument itself. I'm wondering if there would be a good resource for finding these vintage pieces, how to find a mouthpiece for a metal clarinet. Thanks, Mary ------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: Re: [kl] metal clarinet mouthpiece From: Martin Marks <martymarks@-----.com> Date: Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:16:24 -0400 Hi, Metal clarinets used the same mouthpiece as wooden or plastic clarinets. You are missing a part that receives the mouthpiece and fits into the top. I bought a mouthpiece about a year ago on ebay and the adapter from a metal clarinet was attached to the mouthpiece. It had a cork on one end of the adapter so it could fit into a metal clarinet. I threw it out. That's the part you need. I don't think the the adapter was a standard size on the end that went into the top of the clarinet, but if you could find one it could probably be adapted to fit your clarinet. The end that the mouthpiece fits into is a standard size that any clarinet mouthpiece would fit. Since metal clarinets are not made anymore, you might have to buy another metal clarinet that has an adapter attached. Good luck. martinm On Saturday, October 31, 2009, at 10:12PM, "Mary (marymuse)" <herald_mari@-----.com> wrote: >Hi! >I recently purchased a three star metal clarinet without a mouthpiece. snip ------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: RE: [kl] metal clarinet mouthpiece From: "Forest Aten" <forestaten@-----.com> Date: Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:28:58 -0400 Mary Yes....you need what's typically called a "receiver". It functions the same way a barrel does on a wooden clarinet. Mouthpiece goes in the larger opening.....cork covered, smaller end goes into the bore, at the top of the clarinet. A metal shop should be able to easily produce a workable receiver. It will probably cost as much as you paid for the clarinet. :-( It's sure worth a try. I'll post up a photo of the/a receiver section of my/a metal clarinet...on my smugmug account tomorrow, so you can see what's missing. (I have to find the clarinet first...)

Considering I paid $13 for the clarinet, I'm thinking my best bet is to bid on another one with the receiver. (Thanks for the technical term too.*smiles*). I just thought the metal one looked interesting. For the price I paid, maybe I have a new lamp. LOL!!!! Thanks for the help! Mary ------------------------------------------------------------------

They usually have this adaptor (metal barrel) lying around in the "junk" box. They might even give it to you, especially if your metal clarinet is a "double walled" model.

Subject: [kl] =?ISO-8859-1?Q?red-hot_Fr=F6st?= From: X-Skyrr-MailScanner-acb@-----.is Date: Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:46:38 -0500 Hi, all. Clarinet aficionados in Iceland have had quite the party this weekend. =20= Swedish clarinetist Martin Fr=F6st came to town and held two =20 performances and a master class. I confess to not having known who he =20= was before this past week, but everyone from clarinetists to members =20 of the string section of hte orchestra said he was a must-see, so off =20= I went. On Thursday evening, the Iceland Symphony played an all-Mozart program =20= that began with the Figaro overture. Then Fr=F6st played the clarinet =20= concerto on basset clarinet, and after intermission the orchestra =20 played the g-minor Symphony, #40. Fr=F6st nailed the concerto to the =20 floorboards and held the audience in the palm of his hand (which, for =20= me, was perhaps the more interesting part; Mozart is always a crowd-=20 pleaser, but I haven't seen such ebullient enthusiasm for the clarinet =20= concerto in a broad audience before). As an encore, he played a piece =20= that he and his composer brother, G=F6ran Fr=F6st, had adapted and =20 arranged from a klezmer tune they had heard from Giora Feidman, and =20 brought the house down. And despite the vast difference between Mozart =20= and Feidman, the juxtaposition just plain worked. Fr=F6st is a very =20 physical player to begin with, his abundant energy found an appealing =20= outlet in the encore, and his overall stage presence was warm and =20 inviting. I missed the master class on Friday evening, but my informants said he =20= was helpful and engaging as a teacher, and that there was no =20 discernible nervousness among the students, who ranged from graduate =20 students to young high school-level players. Yesterday he wound up the triple-header with a clarinet-piano recital =20= in which he was accompanied by a brilliant 25-year-old Icelandic =20 pianist named Vikingur Heidar Olafsson (who is someone to watch). The =20= first half of the program was French - Debussy Rhapsody, Francaix =20 Theme & Variations, and Poulenc Sonata. After intermission Martin =20 played a very evocative work of his own called Voices on Wings for =20 clarinet and tape, and wound up with the Brahms Sonata #2. While =20 everything was splendidly performed, perhaps it was the Poulenc that =20 stood out. Both players managed to extract maximum drama and vivacity =20= from the piece, and Fr=F6st's tone and tone control in the slow passages = =20 were especially noteworthy. Fr=F6st uses circular breathing freely - in =20= Mozart and Debussy, and to great effect in the Poulenc and Brahms. =20 I've seen and heard a variety of competent players use circular =20 breathing, of course, but this was the first time I could have closed =20= my eyes and not known that the performer was using that technique. =20 Other clarinetists in the audience had the same reaction. Fr=F6st has =20= utterly conquered the pitch problems that can accompany circular =20 breathing, and I felt keenly how effective use of the technique moves =20= the clarinet a large step closer to stringed instruments as regards =20 phrasing possibilities. As on Thursday night with the orchestra, Fr=F6st had the audience eating = =20 out of his hand. Vikingur Heidar Olafsson is a favorite son of =20 Iceland, anyway, and anything he does draws a large audience =20 predisposed to enjoy. But they both lived up to advance billing and =20 more besides. They ended their program with an pyrotechnic arrangement =20= of the Monti Czardas, and here again, Fr=F6st's energy and physicality =20= were a distinct asset. They played the encore as though they'd been =20 rehearsing for weeks, yet I heard Fr=F6st say to Vikingur's mom after =20= the concert that they had not played the Czardas together until the =20 day before the recital, but that the rapport between them was so easy =20= and natural that they decided to wing it. And it took flight: =20 Vikingur's sensitivity to the soloist and Martin's readiness to =20 communicate with the accompanist bridged the gap seamlessly. In short, a good time was had by all. Fr=F6st is coming back to Iceland =20= next spring to play the Kalevi Aho concerto with the orchestra. I hope =20= there'll be another triple-header then.

I have played it twice and recorded it for CBC. The clarinetist needs to be able to double-tongue for long stretches (like in a lot of Lindberg's music). It is not the type of piece that a clarinetist can woodshed for a long time then hope to throw together with strings. The string quartet parts do not sound difficult but they are beastly to put together. There is rarely a point of reference (audible downbeats, landmarks to help one find one's bearings), which means the 1st violinist invariably resorts to thrashing, showing the beats when necessary (not that there is anything wrong with that). At 20 minutes and without break, the piece requires a lot of mental and physical stamina. To be approached with caution. That said, I have performed many Lindberg pieces and I would say the Clarinet Quintet had the most overwhelming effect on the audience. Lindberg's music is often epic and sweeping. That can work if the arc of the piece is convincing, persuasive and, in the case of the Quintet, moving. If it doesn't work, it comes off as unrelenting grandiloquence (ie his piece "Joy"). ------------------------------------------------------------ Simon Aldrich Clarinet Faculty - McGill University Principal Clarinet - Orchestre Metropolitain de Montreal Principal Clarinet - Orchestre de l'Opera de Montreal Artistic Director - Jeffery Summer Concerts Clarinet - Nouvel Ensemble Moderne ------------------------------------------------------------------

I have played it twice and recorded it for CBC. The clarinetist needs to be able to double-tongue for long stretches (like in a lot of Lindberg's music). It is not the type of piece that a clarinetist can woodshed for a long time then hope to throw together with strings. The string quartet parts do not sound difficult but they are beastly to put together. There is rarely a point of reference (audible downbeats, landmarks to help one find one's bearings), which means the 1st violinist invariably resorts to thrashing, showing the beats when necessary (not that there is anything wrong with that). At 20 minutes and without break, the piece requires a lot of mental and physical stamina. To be approached with caution. That said, I have performed many Lindberg pieces and I would say the Clarinet Quintet had the most overwhelming effect on the audience. Lindberg's music is often epic and sweeping. That can work if the arc of the piece is convincing, persuasive and, in the case of the Quintet, moving. If it doesn't work, it comes off as unrelenting grandiloquence (ie his piece "Joy"). ------------------------------------------------------------ Simon Aldrich Clarinet Faculty - McGill University Principal Clarinet - Orchestre Metropolitain de Montreal Principal Clarinet - Orchestre de l'Opera de Montreal Artistic Director - Jeffery Summer Concerts Clarinet - Nouvel Ensemble Moderne ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: [kl] Alexander Technique group class for clarinetists in North Hollywood, From: Margaret Thornhill <clarinetstudio@-----.com> Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:48:25 -0500 Dear Klarinet List, A highly regarded teacher of the Alexander Technique is offering a small group class in North Hollywood specifically for instrumentalists (mostly clarinetists, but others welcome.) She still needs one more participant in her next session. She is very experienced at working with musicians. The class will be held on six Tuesday evenings for a group of four or five persons, offering personal attention to the way you use your body while standing, sitting, lying down, or especially playing your instrument. Tuition is $120, which is $20 for a ninety minute session. This is a fraction of the price for a private lesson and a great opportunity! I can testify that Alexander Technique has helped my playing more than anything I have done since ending formal clarinet study years ago, and has truly eliminated neck and shoulder pain from my life. I strongly recommend this teacher, as well. You can find further information at this link: http://www.artofmovement.com/ or email me privately off-list.

Subject: Re: [kl] Franck d minor bass clarinet part From: "Dan Leeson" <dnleeson@-----.net> Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:08:37 -0500 I contributed my entire bass clarinet library to the library of clarinet music in Delaware, I think. The Franck d minor was in that bunch of parts. Alternatively, contact Kalmus in Florida and they will sell you a part very inexpensively. And for your information, the part has a serious error in it. It is just one note (in the first movement, I think) but the note does not fit in the chord. You will have lots of fun and enjoyment finding that note and trying to convince the conductor that the note is on the wrong pitch. I used to like the Franck symphony but after playing it a bunch of times, it wore out its welcome. There is a problem with Franck that is described in a vignette of his life. It seems he was taking an organ lesson and the instructor asked him to improvise in F-sharp major. So he did, remaining in that key for something like 20 minutes. The instructor finally said, "For God's sake change keys already," to which Franck said, "Why? I'm happy where I am." That is what is wrong with Franck. The symphony has one tune and one key from first note to last.

While I do not know exactly what happened in this instance, we have to keep in mind that Otello is in the public domain and that allows some other publisher to create and print their own set of performance parts, an act that automatically creates differences that range from minor to significant. And even if that does not happen, Ricordi (which was and still is the main publisher of Verdi's music) will make changes to the printed parts for any of a dozen reasons. (The plates wear out. The parts are printed in an old fashioned way and need to look more modern, etc.) That takes Verdi out of the loop and can lead to situations that have bedeviled Clark Fobes. That is, he finds a C clarinet part with a low D in it, and Forest Aten playing the same work in the new Dallas Opera house finds no C clarinet part at all. It sometimes is a wonder that the same music comes out under circumstances like these.

While I do not know exactly what happened in this instance, we have to keep in mind that Otello is in the public domain and that allows some other publisher to create and print their own set of performance parts, an act that automatically creates differences that range from minor to significant. And even if that does not happen, Ricordi (which was and still is the main publisher of Verdi's music) will make changes to the printed parts for any of a dozen reasons. (The plates wear out. The parts are printed in an old fashioned way and need to look more modern, etc.) That takes Verdi out of the loop and can lead to situations that have bedeviled Clark Fobes. That is, he finds a C clarinet part with a low D in it, and Forest Aten playing the same work in the new Dallas Opera house finds no C clarinet part at all. It sometimes is a wonder that the same music comes out under circumstances like these.

Subject: Re: [kl] Interesting C clarinet part From: "Dan Leeson" <dnleeson@-----.net> Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:46:33 -0500 That is probably true. Even the best of us would find it difficult to create a usable harp part. And clarinets are particularly bummered up because of the added complexity of being a transposing instrument. I once played a Sousa piece (don't remember which one, but it was a suite of some sort) that called for a low D on the bass clarinet. It was a perfectly good note, but I think that Sousa may have been uncertain about the lower limits of a clarinet.
