Added by alastair-lewis, 20 Aug 2011![]() This piece has a somewhat unusual time signature of 9/8. It has a quick tempo of Allegro. The music is in the key of G major and the total duration is 2 minutes. This music was written as a self-accompanied work, as such the underlying harmonic structure is built into the melody. Some other distinctive features include an abundance of chromatic notes, changes in tempo such as rubato and accelerando, and dramatic fermata. This woodwind instrument has a single-reed mouthpiece, a straight cylindrical tube and a flaring bell. A person who plays the instrument is known as a clarinetist or clarinettist. The clarinet family is made up of many different instruments of differing sizes and pitches. The unmodified word "clarinet" usually refers to the Bb clarinet, which is the most common clarinet. |
![]() | This is a useful etude for clarinet since it centers around the break and requires thoughtful consideration of fingerings. Several of my students will benefit from it. |
