The clarinet family ranges from the (extremely rare) BBB ♭ octo-contrabass to the A ♭ piccolo clarinet. Since the middle of the 19th century, the bass clarinet (nowadays invariably in B ♭ but with extra keys to extend the register down to low written C3) has become an essential addition to the orchestra. An orchestral clarinetist must own both a clarinet in A and B ♭ since the repertoire is divided fairly evenly between the two. However, the clarinet in A, pitched a semitone lower, is regularly used in orchestral, chamber and solo music. In modern times, the most common clarinet is the B ♭ clarinet.
Over time, additional keywork and airtight pads were added to improve the tone and playability.
Johann Christoph Denner is generally believed to have invented the clarinet in Germany around the year 1700 by adding a register key to the earlier chalumeau, usually in the key of C. It is probable that the term clarinet may stem from the diminutive version of the 'clarion' or 'clarino' and it has been suggested that clarino players may have helped themselves out by playing particularly difficult passages on these newly developed "mock trumpets". The trumpet parts that required this specialty were known by the term clarino and this in turn came to apply to the musicians themselves. Since the trumpets of this time had no valves or pistons, melodic passages would often require the use of the highest part of the trumpet's range, where the harmonics were close enough together to produce scales of adjacent notes as opposed to the gapped scales or arpeggios of the lower register. During the Late Baroque era, composers such as Bach and Handel were making new demands on the skills of their trumpeters, who were often required to play difficult melodic passages in the high, or as it came to be called, clarion register. While the similarity in sound between the earliest clarinets and the trumpet may hold a clue to its name, other factors may have been involved. A person who plays a clarinet is called a clarinetist (sometimes spelled clarinettist). It has a single-reed mouthpiece, a straight, cylindrical tube with an almost cylindrical bore, and a flared bell. Plastik spricht nochmal sicherer an.The clarinet is a family of woodwind instruments. Auch die Pilgerstorfer Profondo gehen super (im Gegensatz zum B45, darauf unspielbar), ich empfehle hier auszuprobieren.
Perfekt wäre es mit einem noch sanften Verhalten in der zweiten Lage sowie bei tiefsten Tönen, aber das sind Luxusprobleme (liegt wohl auch eher an mir)Īktuell nutze ich ein Legère Classic 2 3/4 und Schnur - Das geht super. Man erreicht je nach Blatt einen sonoren, für Boehm sanften Klang und "nervt" auch nicht zu sehr in der 2. Den mit diesem Mundstück gelang mir Tief C, D nochmal etwas besser, wo bei anderen die Stütze wirklich haargenau passenmusste, sonst kieckt es (liegt sicher auch am Instrument, mit einer Privilege ist das viel einfacher). Also Fan von eben solchen etwas offeneren Bahnen begeistert mich die Ansprache, das mögliche Spektrum und die Anpassungsfähigkeit bei tiefen Tönen. Dann alle Pomaricos durchprobiert, aber auch hier -eventuell wegen der Materialhärte?- noch ein generell zu harter Charakter.Īnders mit dem Concept. Schnell war klar, dass das B45 bei meiner Leblanc 430S einfach nicht passt, wie bei der Sopran spricht es einfach zu direkt, zu hart an und klingt nicht. Ich spiele erst seit 4 Monaten Bass, habe mich aber relativ intensiv mit der Thematik beschäftigt.
