You have absolutely all kind of harmonics, you don’t have to force or push, and the vibration of the reed, the mouthpiece, the material, it’s connected with my heart.” Milan Rericha – International Soloist, Co-founder RZ Clarinets The New Chedeville Umbra Clarinet Mouthpiece Our new Umbra Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece creates a beautiful dark sound full of rich colors. Darker in sound color than our Elite model, it also has less resistance, a combination that is seldom found in a clarinet mouthpiece. Because it doesn’t add resistance, you will have no limits in dynamics, colors or articulation. Each mouthpiece is handcrafted at our factory in Savannah Georgia Life Without Limits through a combination of new world technology and old world craftsmanship, and to the highest standards of excellence.

  • The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.

The CD is dedicated to the memory of those who died at the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013, and in support of those who were injured on that terrible day. As the duo explains in the extensive and scholarly program notes, “Our real power emanates from our ideas and our freedom … As Bernstein said so eloquently, ‘This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.’” American Tribute features the following repertoire: ● Leonard Bernstein Sonata ● Victor Babin Hillandale Waltzes ● Robert Muczynski Time Pieces, Op. 43 ● Simon Sargon KlezMuzik ● Dana Wilson Liquid Ebony ● Paquito D’Rivera Invitación al Danzón, Val Venezolano, Contradanza Referring to the composers, Cohler and Vitkauskaite write, “Each driven by their own inner and outer forces have become uniquely part of the American Dream.” American Tribute features almost 70 years of musical life in the United States. Across this span of time, one can see an incredible variety of styles, traditions, schools, backgrounds, and musical experiences. The music represents the essence of America and what makes America the real melting pot. American Tribute takes us on six journeys of success, acclaim, musical inspiration and freedom.

  • Ernest Elliott
    THE RECORDINGS OF ERNEST ELLIOTT An Annotated Tentative Name - Discography ELLIOTT, ‘Sticky’ Ernest: Born Booneville, Missouri, February 1893. Worked with Hank Duncan´s Band in Detroit (1919), moved to New York, worked with Johnny Dunn (1921), etc. Various recordings in the 1920s, including two sessions with Bessie Smith. With Cliff Jackson´s Trio at the Cabin Club, Astoria, New York (1940), with Sammy Stewart´s Band at Joyce´s Manor, New York (1944), in Willie ‘The Lion’ Smith´s Band (1947). Has retired from music, but continues to live in New York.” (J. Chilton, Who´s Who of Jazz) STYLISTICS Ernest Elliott seems to be a relict out of archaic jazz times. But he did not spend these early years in New Orleans or touring the South, but he became known playing in Detroit, changing over to New York in the very early 1920s. Thus, his stylistic background is completely different from all those New Orleans players, and has to be estimated in a different way. Bushell in his book “Jazz from the Beginning” says about him: “Those guys had a style of clarinet playing that´s been forgotten. Ernest Elliott had it, Jimmy O´Bryant had it, and Johnny Dodds had it.” TONE Elliott owns a strong, rather sharp, tone on the clarinet. There are instances where I feel tempted to hear Bechet-like qualities in his playing, probably mainly because of the tone. This quality might have caused Clarence Williams to use Elliott when Bechet was not available? He does not hit his notes head-on, but he approaches them with a fast upward slur or smear, and even finishes them mostly with a little downward slur/smear, making his notes to sound sour.

  • Boosey & Hawkes and Clarinet Manufacturing in Britain, 1879-1986
    From Design to Decline: Boosey & Hawkes and Clarinet Manufacturing in Britain, 1879-1986 Jennifer May Brand Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Goldsmiths, University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2012 Volume 1 of 2 1 Declaration I declare that the work presented here is my own. Jennifer May Brand November 2012 2 Acknowledgements My thanks are extended to the following people and organisations, who have made the creation of this thesis possible: • The AHRC, for funding the initial period of research. • My supervisors, Professor Stephen Cottrell and Doctor Bradley Strauchen- Scherer, for their wisdom and guidance throughout the process. • All the staff at the Horniman Museum, especially those in the Library, Archives and Study Collection Centre. • Staff and students at Goldsmiths University, who have been a source of support in various ways over the last few years. • All the organologists and clarinettists who have permitted me to examine their instruments, use their equipment, and listen to their stories. • My friends and family, who now all know far more about Boosey & Hawkes’ clarinets than they ever wanted to. 3 Abstract Current literature agrees that British clarinet playing between c. 1930 and c. 1980 was linked to a particular clarinet manufacturer: Boosey & Hawkes. The unusually wide-bored 1010 clarinet is represented as particularly iconic of this period but scholars have not provided details of why this is so nor explored the impact of other B&H clarinets. This thesis presents an empirical overview of all clarinet manufacturing which took place at B&H (and Boosey & Co).

Through his performances around the world and on record, he has thrilled an ever-widening audience with his incredible musicianship and total technical command. His technical feats have been hailed as “su- perhuman” and Fanfare Magazine has placed him in the pantheon of legendary musicians: “one thinks of Dinu Lipatti.” In recent years, Mr. Cohler has teamed up with multiple award-winning Lithuanian pianist Rasa Vit- kauskaite to form today's leading clarinet-piano duo, which is featured in three recent recordings: American Tribute, Romanza, and Rhapsodie Française. This sea- son he will release the second in a series of recordings in which he is featured as soloist, conductor, and music editor: Cohler plays and Conducts Mozart with the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra of Budapest.
