>Thanks!

My pleasure, and if you need more information please feel free to ask. I am
just an Amateur clarinetist, 31years old, and picked the clarinet in the age
of 9 but sometimes some hints may be useful anyway.

If you really want to surprise your fellows with circular breathing, I
recommend that book I mentioned in my first mail. It needs a lot of
practising to do it well in all registers and while playing tunes, so I use
it mostly in long notes (e.g. holding a c' for 12 bars in Andante), but
Amateur players who never heard of circular breathing before are always
taken by surprise (if they happen to realize it)

Happy New Year to you, too, and success in the coming events!

Randolf
