In particular, I would like to express my appreciation to Stanley Hasty, Christopher Serique, Daniel Gilbert, and Robert DiLutis for sharing their ideas freely and making important contributions to the field of clarinet performance. Any incorrect statements that might occur concerning their respective reed making methods are absolutely unintentional and are solely the result of misunderstandings on the part of the author. I would also like to thank my wife Nora Louis Paul and all my friends for the help and support they have shown during this project. If it were not for their understanding and cooperation during this process, a successful result would have been impossible. Special credit is due my father, Brayton B. Paul, who created all the illustrations used in this manuscript. He is a forty-year career draftsman and mechanical engineer in the aerospace industry. His experience includes working for the Bendix Corporation, the Martin Company, the McDonnell Aircraft Company, Seamans Electric Company, Central Scientific, and the Lockheed Georgia Company. His career includes work on precision approach radar systems, as well as the XB-51, B-57, F-18, and the C-5A Galaxy aircraft. His mechanical drawings and expertise added much needed clarity and credibility to this document. Finally, this manuscript is dedicated to my mother, Gertrude Elizabeth Paul, whose wish to have me achieve my educational ambition has finally been realized.

This study is intended to give critical insight and needed specificity to a process that often seems mysterious and confusing. The clarinetists that were chosen for this study represent four diverse methods of reed making; therefore, a comparison of these methods will give greater insight into the process. The individuals chosen, and the reed making method that they represent are: Stanley Hasty, former Principal Clarinet of the Rochester Philhtirmonic and Professor Emeritus of the Eastman School of Music, uses a hand made method that he developed and taught at Eastman; Christopher Sereque, Principal Clarinet of the Seattle Symphony, uses the reed making machine the REEDUAL; Daniel Gilbert, Second Clarinet of the Cleveland Symphony and Professor of Clarinet at Oberlin Conserx'atory, uses the reed making machine the BKM 4; and Robert DiLutis, Second Clarinet of the Rochester Philharmonic, uses a reed making machine that he invented called “The Reed Machine.” V ll The first chapter details the need for the study and the interview method used. The second chapter reviews important background research in the form of published books and articles. The next four chapters detail the reed making methods of the interviewees. The seventh chapter summarizes these four methods and the last chapter details the reed making method of the author. There is a bibliography, and an appendix that lists retailers for equipment and supplies. vm A STUDY AND COMPARISON OF FOUR PROMINENT CLARINET REED MAKING METHODS CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background Of the physical features that are specific to the clarinet, the reed is by far the most variable.^ Each reed has a set of characteristics that are unique and may or may not suit the performer’s needs. In addition, each individual reed undergoes changes depending on a variety of factors including humidity, age, and even altitude." Given the nature of these reeds and their innate inconsistencies, the clarinetist that desires more predictable performance results inevitably turns to a serious study of the clarinet reed. As one would expect, a plethora of books and articles are devoted to reed making and adjustment. As one surveys the literature on reed making and adjustment, the rationale for this interest falls into several important categories. These reasons essentially answer the question: Why do clarinetists want to make and adjust their reeds? The first reason is that of consistency. As a performer, one is obviously interested in doing the best job possible each time they are in front of listeners.

    Journal of Science and Arts Supplement at No. 2(13), pp. 157-161, 2010 THE CLARINET IN THE CHAMBER MUSIC OF THE 20TH CENTURY FELIX CONSTANTIN GOLDBACH Valahia University of Targoviste, Faculty of Science and Arts, Arts Department, 130024, Targoviste, Romania Abstract. The beginning of the 20th century lay under the sign of the economic crises, caused by the great World Wars. Along with them came state reorganizations and political divisions. The most cruel realism, of the unimaginable disasters, culminating with the nuclear bombs, replaced, to a significant extent, the European romanticism and affected the cultural environment, modifying viewpoints, ideals, spiritual and philosophical values, artistic domains. The art of the sounds developed, being supported as well by the multiple possibilities of recording and world distribution, generated by the inventions of this epoch, an excessively technical one, the most important ones being the cinema, the radio, the television and the recordings – electronic or on tape – of the creations and interpretations. Keywords: chamber music of the 20th century, musical styles, cultural tradition. 1. INTRODUCTION Despite all the vicissitudes, music continued to ennoble the human souls. The study of the instruments’ construction features, of the concert halls, the investigation of the sound and the quality of the recordings supported the formation of a series of high-quality performers and the attainment of high performance levels. The international contests organized on instruments led to a selection of the values of the interpretative art. So, the exceptional professional players are no longer rarities. 2. DISCUSSIONS The economic development of the United States of America after the two World Wars, the cultural continuity in countries with tradition, such as England and France, the fast restoration of the West European states, including Germany, represented conditions that allowed the flourishing of musical education.
