Thank you, Lu Le, for the video. I like the way you always keep the tonal current flowing and never let the sound become stagnant or boring, and you do this without vibrato. You make the clarinet glow through the strings with focus and pleasing overtone complexity. Your melodic embellishments in the second movement add an unexpected freedom without compromising the meter or resorting to distracting rubato. Do you have a performance rubric that you follow for that? Can you share with us what equipment you are playing to achieve that light, buoyant but always vibrant and centered sound (clarinet, mouthpiece, ligature, barrel)?

Hi, thanks for the kind words.
As for a rubric, I try to stay healthy both physically. And I make sure I practice my long tone exercises and other fundamental technical work. As a rule of thumb, studying the score and knowing which notes belong to which phrases and the function of where certain notes should be stressed or unstressed is very important to how I approach this. Furthermore, I'm very fortunate to have a teacher that is able to guide me through such great repertoire - so I owe a lot of this to him. I should mention that he doesn't demonstrate a lot so I'm not pressured to copy him - giving me a genuine voice. My choice of equipment to help facilitate that voice is in this performance is the buffet R13 A clarinet (fobes barrel), b40 lyre mpc, and a vandoren v12 reed with a bonade inverted ligature.
Best,
Le

It's one of my favorite pieces! I'm playing it in a few months again. The first time I played it was 42 years ago! It is interesting how some of these beautiful pieces never get old.
Well done! You played it with a lot of emotion and grace. I very much enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing this.
