Killinger ABC Practical Application #2 August 2006 A Beginner’s Approach to the Licorice Stick History of the Clarinet Th e clarinet dates back to the 1600s, to an instrument called the chalumeau (possibly French in origin). Th e chalumeau was a cane pipe measuring about nine inches long. It had seven holes, including a thumb hole, and a range of not much more than an octave. Its range was low and limited. Th e low range on the modern clarinet continues to be named for the chalumeau. Sometime in the 1700s, a German woodwind maker named Johann Denner improved the chalumeau and invented the early clarinet. Two keys were added to expand the range by giving it an upper register. Denner may have also given it a separate mouthpiece and reed. By 1750 the clarinet’s body had taken the basic shape we see today. By the 1820s clarinets had 12 to 13 keys and in 1850 the Boehm key system had been introduced. Th is key work system was currently being used on the fl ute and eliminated some very diffi cult fi ngerings. Th e Boehm system placed each hole so that each note would have the same tone quality and made a key system to cover all of the holes. It was a success and became popular around the world, replacing the Albert system which is still used in some parts of Europe. Th e Albert system is a complex auxiliary keywork that gives a deeper tone and is favored in German-speaking countries. In the mid to late 1700s, composers had begun writing musical pieces specifi cally for the clarinet. In the 1800s, the instrument became much more prominent and large volumes of music were written for it in the early 1900s. Th ere are currently three types of clarinets in use in the world today, the soprano, alto, and bass clarinets. Th ere are also two variations on the alto and bass clarinet, the contra alto and contra bass. All of the types of the clarinet are included in symphony, chamber orchestras, concert band, and small ensembles. Th e clarinet is known for its warm full sound.

Killinger Let’s Get Started One of the fi rst requirements for acceptable performance on the clarinet is good equipment, including the instrument, the mouthpiece and the reed. Th e beginner’s instrument does not need to be professional quality, but it must be in well tuned working condition. Inferior equipment will only discourage a beginning player. Th e second requirement to success will be good AIR support. Proper breathing technique must be learned from the onset of instruction. AIR. AIR. AIR. Always play with great AIR support. Th e third requirement to success will be to learn the fi ngerings and concepts for correct note production. Th ese fi ngerings remain the same for every instrument in the clarinet family. Learn one and you learn them all. Th e clarinet is a transposing instrument. To produce the same pitch that the piano plays, the clarinet must play one step higher. In other words, a Bb on the piano is played as a C on the clarinet. Th e transposition on the clarinet (Bb soprano and bass clarinet) is the same for the tenor sax and trumpet. Mouthpiece A good mouthpiece is very important. Hard rubber, glass and plastic are used in the construction of most clarinet mouthpieces today. Th e basic design is more important than the material. If in question about mouthpieces, a student should try out diff erent models before purchasing one. School ownership of several mouthpieces is helpful for students to try. Some of the most popular brands of mouthpieces are Vandoren, Selmer Paris, Pyne, Bay, Garrett, Hite, Leblanc, and Pomarico. Ligature Th e ligature is a band of metal, plastic, or rubber that holds the reed in place on the mouthpiece. It is placed fi rmly, but not too tight as to stop the reed from vibrating. Th e ligature can ruin reed response and reed life by pinching the cane on the sides. Free vibration of the reed can be lost. Match the ligature to the mouthpiece so that the inside edges of the bands nearly meet. Some of the most popular brands of ligature are Vandoren, Bonade, Bay, and BG. Reeds Like people, no two reeds are alike. Th e player must be willing to accept constant change and make appropriate adjustments. Th e reed as well as the player is in constant change with lip pressure and various other body tensions. Students should purchase more than one reed at a time; four would be good but a box of 25 is better. A too soft reed will not permit the proper clarinet embouchure. A student can begin on a 2 ½ hardness reed, moving to a 3 or 3 ½ as soon as their ability will allow. Th e top selling reeds areMitchell Lurie, Vandoren, LaVoz, and Rico Royals. 11 A Beginner’s Approach to the Licorice Stick Reed Placement Proper reed alignment on the mouthpiece and the tightness of the ligature are very important. If a reed is placed too high or low it will not be able to vibrate correctly. If a ligature is too tight the reed will not respond and will warp, and if it is too loose it will slide around. Before blowing the fi rst tones on the mouthpiece, we must fi rst place the reed correctly on the mouthpiece. 1. Place the reed in your mouth and begin to soak it with saliva. 2. With a fi rm twisting motion place the mouthpiece on the barrel. 3. Slide the ligature loosely on the mouthpiece. 4. Slip the thick end of the moistened reed under the ligature from above, locating the tip of the reed almost even with the tip of the mouthpiece. A very, very thin line of black should show. 5. Tighten the screws of the ligature. Embouchure Embouchure is the lip and surrounding facial muscles required in playing the clarinet with success. A faulty embouchure will result in playing problems. Steps to forming a correct embouchure for the clarinet by using the barrel, mouthpiece, reed, and ligature: Say “Q” to bring the Roll the bottom lip top lip forward and in overover thethe bottombottom of thethe slightlyslightly asas ifif surroundingsurrounding teeth.teeth.

Killinger Assembly of the Instrument Careful preparation used in assembling the instrument will avoid damage to the mechanism. A sticker placed on the top side of the clarinet case will insure that the case will always be opened correctly. Th e cork joints should be lubricated with a small amount of cork grease before the instrument is fi rst assembled. Reeds Silk Swab Lower Joint Cork Grease Bell Mouthpiece Barrel Upper Joint Clarinet specialists each have their individual preferences to putting the clarinet together.

  • Chalumeau in Oxford Music Online Oxford Music Online
    18.3.2011 Chalumeau in Oxford Music Online Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Chalumeau article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/05376 Chalumeau (from Gk. kalamos , Lat. calamus : ‘reed’). A single-reed instrument of predominantly cylindrical bore, related to the clarinet (it is classified as an AEROPHONE ). The term originally denoted a pipe or bagpipe chanter, but from the end of the 17th century was used specifically to signify the instrument discussed below. 1. History and structure. It seems likely that the chalumeau evolved in the late 17th century from attempts to increase the volume of sound produced by the recorder; the retention of the latter’s characteristic foot-joint is evidence of the close physical relationship between the two instruments. Two diametrically opposed keys were soon added above the seven finger-holes and thumb-hole of the chalumeau, bridging the gap between the highest note and the lowest overblown 12th. The relatively large dimensions of the vibrating reed and the mouthpiece to which it was tied, however, were principally designed to produce the fundamental register. The clarinet itself evolved when the thumb-hole was repositioned, the mouthpiece was reduced in size to facilitate overblowing, and the foot-joint was replaced by a bell to improve the projection of sound. Since the clarinet functioned rather unsatisfactorily in its lowest register, the chalumeau was able for a time to retain its separate identity. J.F.B.C. Majer remarked that since the technique required was broadly comparable, a recorder player could handle the chalumeau, though the latter is described as ‘very hard to blow because of its difficult mouthpiece’ (‘ratione des schweren Ansatzes sehr hart zu blasen’).

  • Reed Instruments About Reeds
    Reed Instruments About Reeds A reed is a thin elastic strip of cane fixed at one end and free at the other. It is set into vibration by moving air. Reeds are the sound generators in the instruments described below. Cane reeds are built as either double or single reeds. A double reed consists of two pieces of cane carved and bound into a hollow, round shape at one end and flattened out and shaved thin at the other. The two pieces are tied together to form an channel. The single reed is a piece of cane shaved at one end and fastened at the other to a mouthpiece. Single Reed Instruments Clarinet: A family of single reed instruments with mainly a cylindrical bore. They are made of grenadilla (African blackwood) or ebonite, plastic, and metal. Clarinets are transposing instruments* and come in different keys. The most common ones used in orchestras are the clarinet in A and the clarinet in Bb. When a part calls for a clarinet in A, the player may either double -i.e. play the clarinet in A, or play the clarinet in Bb and transpose* the part as he plays. During the time of Beethoven, the clarinet in C was also in use and players were expected to be able to play all three instruments when required. All clarinets are notated in the treble clef and have approximately the same written range: E below middle C to c´´´´ (C five ledger lines above the staff). Bass Clarinet: A member of the clarinet family made of wood, which sounds an octave lower than the Clarinet in Bb.

    DUO SONATAS AND SONATINAS FOR TWO CLARINETS, OR CLARINET AND ANOTHER WOODWIND INSTRUMENT: AN ANNOTATED CATALOG D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yu-Ju Ti, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 D.M.A Document Committee: Approved by Professor James Pyne, co-Advisor Professor Alan Green, co-Advisor ___________________________ Professor James Hill Co-advisor Professor Robert Sorton ___________________________ Co-advisor Music Graduate Program Copyright by Yu-Ju Ti 2009 ABSTRACT There are few scholarly writings that exist concerning unaccompanied duet literature for the clarinet. In the late 1900s David Randall and Lowell Weiner explored the unaccompanied clarinet duets in their dissertations “A Comprehensive Performance Project in Clarinet Literature with an Essay on the Clarinet Duet From ca.1715 to ca.1825” and “The Unaccompanied Clarinet Duet Repertoire from 1825 to the Present: An Annotated Catalogue”. However, unaccompanied duets for clarinet and another woodwind instrument are seldom mentioned in the academic literature and are rarely performed. In an attempt to fill the void, this research will provide a partial survey of this category. Because of the sheer volume of the duet literature, the scope of the study will be limited to original compositions entitled Sonata or Sonatina written for a pair of woodwind instruments which include at least one clarinet. Arrangements will be cited but not discussed. All of the works will be annotated, evaluated, graded by difficulty, and comparisons will be made between those with similar style.
