Klarinetters,

A student is working up this interesting unaccompanied piece, and a check
of a French dictionary produced a surprise; instead of "ancient/antique",
attique came out as "Attic/Athenian": can anyone shed some light on what
this might mean in terms of how to play the piece, or why he would choose
this title? Or is this a mis-translation?

Thanks!
