Subj: [kl] What on earth is he talking about?

Recently, when I was in Chicago, a young composition major asked the
name of a particular effect on clarinet that I've never heard of
before. He's been told that the clarinet can sort of throw its voice
and sound as if it's far off as well as sound as if it's coming from
somewhere else... I guess these both mean the same thing. Perhaps one
could call this sotto voce? Does anyone know the term he's referring
to? He couldn't recall the descriptive name. Of course when I was
speaking to him I didn't remember sotto voce either. But that's
unlikely to be it, since he would know this as a general musical term,
not one specific to clarinets Help?

Thanks - Audrey
