	Clarinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tone of the E♭ clarinet is quite a bit brighter than any other member of the widely-used clarinet family and is known for its distinctive ability to cut through even loud orchestral textures; this effect was utilized by such 20th century composers such as Mahler, Copland, Shostakovich, and Stravinsky.
		Clarinet choirs and quartets often play arrangements of both classical and popular music, in addition to a body of literature specially written for a combination of clarinets by composers such as Arnold Cooke, Alfred Uhl, Lucien Caillet and Vaclav Nehlybel.
		The latter and the clarinet in G often occurred as clarinette d'amour in the mid-18th century.

		The word clarinet is sometimes used in a generic sense to denote the whole family, which consists of the clarinet, or discant corresponding to the violin, oboe, andc.; the alto clarinet in E; the basset horn in F (q.v.); the bass clarinet (q.v.), and the pedal clarinet (q.v.).
		The names of the holes and keys on the clarinet are derived not from the notes of the fundamental scale, but from the name of the twelfth produced by overblowing with the speaker key open; for instance, the first key near the bell is known not as the E key but as the B~.
		In 1842 H. Klos conceived the idea of adapting to the clarinet the ingenious mechanism of movable rings, invented by Boehm for the flute, and he entrusted the execution of this innovation to Buffet-Crampon; this is the type of clarinet generally adopted in French orchestras.

	Clarinet
		Clarinets are descendants of the chalumeau, with a cylindrical bore and a single reed.
		Clarinets are relatively recent additions to the orchestra and are standard instruments in the concert band, symphonic band, military bands, wind ensembles, and chamber ensembles.
		The clarinet sound is produced by the vibrations of the reed attached to the mouthpiece as the air moves across it.

	Clarinets
		Early clarinets were not as versatile and easy-to-play as the modern instrument; fingering was particularly difficult because the instrument overblows at the twelfth rather than the octave (see above).
		The clarinet's versatility has made it popular in jazz and folk musics as well as in standard orchestral and chamber music, and the clarinet section is the backbone of the modern wind ensemble.
		Clarinet parts must be written one whole step higher than concert pitch (with the appropriate key change) in order to be read by most clarinet players.

	Woodwind Central - Clarinet Info
		Like other cylindrical tubes, the clarinet overblows at the interval not of its first upper partial, the interval of an octave (as the flute and oboe do), but at its 2nd (the interval of a 12th).
		The notes of the instrument's first octave are obtained in the normal way and the gap of a 5th before the overblowing begins has to be filled by additional side-holes which leave the tone weaker at this point and the fingering somewhat more awkward.
		Reeds may be either single, as in the clarinet family, or double (in the latter the two halves of the mouthpiece itself being pieces of reed vibrating against each other).

	Clarinet acoustics: an introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The fact that the clarinet is open to the air at the far end means that the total pressure at that end of the pipe must be approximately atmospheric pressure.
		This effect is removed by variations or perturbations of the cylindrical shape, including the shape of the mouthpiece, an enlarging of the upper region of the bore, and a gradual flare in the bottom half of the instrument, leading to the bell.
		However, the acoustic response of the clarinet is strong enough to help all of the harmonics of the reed to some extent, and the resultant sound spectrum has no strong differences between even and odd harmonics.

	Clarinet
		The clarinet is a versatile member of the orchestra, the principal treble woodwind of the concert band.
		The lower notes of the clarinet are achieved by opening holes along the closed cylindrical air column to shorten the air column and raise its fundamental frequency.
		The distance between a node and the closest antinode is a quarter wavelength, so the length of the vibrating air column of the clarinet represents a quarter wavelength for the fundamental frequency produced for this closed cylindrical column.

		The clarinet is a very popular woodwind which originated in Islamic and Asian countries at least 700 years ago.
		Clarinets were first introduced in Europe as folk instruments, but by the late 1600s, they were manufactured by such renowned instrument builders as Joseph Denner of Nurnberg.

	The clarinet family - Clarinet history
		Mozart often referred to the beauty of the sound of the clarinet with its similarity to the human voice, and once wrote to his father during a trip to Italy that he longed for clarinets in their orchestras.
		The clarinet was in a heavy state of transition in the middle of the 19th century and players would often have extra keys put on their instruments.
		Because there are fundamental acoustic differences between the flute and the clarinet (the flute overblows at the octave and the clarinet at the twelfth) one could not put a strict Boehm system on the clarinet.

	Sherman Friedland's Clarinet Corner:RepertoireArchives
		The Rhapsody for clarinet and piano, (or orchestra) by Claude DebussyÂ is one of the most characteristic of the French repertoire written for the clarinet during the last century and it remains of of the more difficult to execute in the proper style, really what one can call the "French" style.
		Here is the problem: the piano has the same melody as the clarinet, however it moves in groups of three 16th, while the clarinet moves in quarters, a traditionally impossible spot that is sometimes glossed over with pedal, or what have you.
		It is for violin and clarinet only, and becomes difficult because the tempi must remain cohesive and there are several disparaging rhythms with which to deal.Movement four and five are really joined, one an overture of sorts leading into a pleasant and very French finale.
