Clarinet in movies
I remember when I first started clarinet, I always had my ears cocked for
the sound of a clarinet.
I remember two instances of hearing clarinet in movies.
One was an old movie called the Ten Commandments.
In it Moses ascended Mount Sinai.And what clarinet solo did they play? The
first big solo in the fourth movement of New World by Dvorak.
I saw that move quite a few times and so the solo remained with me.
The other solo was in a movie where an elite couple went to the ballet. And
what did they play?
The beginning of waltz of the flowers by Tschaikovsky. The clarinet sound
here just thrilled me.
No mention who played. Nothing.

tone, technique and staccato
upbeat scales and arpeggios
