All this talk about national schools led me to do some research on my own.
Have you ever thought of the language of the countries? The speech and
accents are different in all languages right? Therefore the clarinetist's
speech of music will also be different. It is also said that the various
vowel sounds from the player's language makes a difference. The vowel
sounds in the mouth are oo, eee, oh, aw, and the French ou all have their
own flavor in the sound pattern and their characteristic equivalent
sound. `aw' is typically English (except in military schools where `eee'
is more common; ooh seems to belong to German, and `ah' to be the
American. All have been ingrained and made more permanent by the
mouthpieces, reeds, and instruments used in each case. It is up to the
modern player to unearth them, to learn to prdouce them all.

regards.
