The Clarinet Polka!! This song has probably done more for the
clarinet in modern times than anything else I can think of. It is
certainly the tune that made me decide that I wanted to learn
to play the clarinet. It was at a wedding back in the days when
young kids went to weddings. Come to think of it, as a child,
wedding receptions were about the only exposure I had to live
music. And the Clarinet Polka was always played by any band
that had a clarinet. Some even played it on Sax (yech!).

By the way , anyone who plays this song in anything but C major
changing to G, changing to F, is out of their minds.

DZIADUNIO!
