Around 1690, a Nuremberg family of instrument-makers named Denner developed the clarinet from the older shawm or chalumeau. Soon it was known as the clarino, for the similarity of its tone to that of the high trumpet regis- ter, and then as clarinetto, for its relatively small size. Taken up by Handel, then Rameau, then Mozart and the Classical composers, its success was assured. With the invention of the Boehm action in 1840, the clarinet appeared in its modern form — a form so popular that it has been made in some 20 sizes, from the shrill oc- tave clarinet to the contrabass clarinet, deeper than the double bassoon!

S.'s pen and pianoforte is the finest written. Not so, say the classicists, who regard Beethoven as the be-all and end-all. The romantics don't even hear the argument. Their ears are ringing with sweeping melodies. The point is, no two people have the same ideas about anything. Individual tastes in music differ as widely as individual notions about investments. This is no news to anyone, of course. That's why Old Colony Trust Company offers a wide range of investment programs to suit the specific needs and pref- erences of our clients.

  • First Person
    FIRST PERSON How to Play, How to Live JOSEPH DE PASQUALE HAS SHARED HIS WISDOM ON MUSIC AND LIFE WITH GENERATIONS OF VIOLISTS. BY REN MARTIN-DOIKE “no, no, no, La cam-pa-NELL-a !” the man gesticulating energetically from his chair is Joseph de pasquale. Both performer and pedagogue come together in this extraordinary man, and no detail will escape the notice of his discriminating ears—not even my italian pronunciation! in his 95 years Mr. de pasquale has experienced much. starting violin lessons with his father Oreste, he auditioned and was accepted to Curtis as a violinist, but switched to the viola at the suggestion of Jascha Brodsky and Max Aronoff, who would become Mr. de pasquale’s teacher. the rest of his life is legend to violists like me. He served as principal viola of the Boston symphony, and then the philadelphia Orchestra; worked closely with composers such as Walter piston and paul Hindemith; and performed chamber music with the greats of his time. Mr. de pasquale is the product, and the purveyor, of viola playing at Curtis. to this day he continues to pass on lessons he learned from his Curtis teachers: Max Aronoff, Louis Bailly, and William primrose. “play me a scale.” in my first lesson with Mr. de pasquale, he surprised me with this request. After playing my scale, i waited for the master to speak. “is that from the Carl Flesch Method?” i nodded. “those are good,” he said—adding that he had studied the same method with Louis Bailly—“but i have something even better.” He reached down and pulled an old, tattered manuscript out of his bag, and handed it to me.
