Contra almost everyone in this thread, I think that this is a wonderful version of the Schumann.

That isn't because I think that the representation of the CLARINET is wonderful.

It's because I think that the programmer has a deep understanding of what he's (or she's) trying to do with the piece.

But to see that, you need (for example) to listen to how he (or she) represents the piano triplets, as they change character throughout the piece. You need to understand that those triplets show that parts of the piece are 'resigned', and parts of the piece 'hopeful'. And you need to appreciate that the overall shape passes beyond resignation and hopefulness to a final acceptance.

The truth is that a good, well-practiced musician is able to show these higher level structures -- even in something like a cowbell solo, as I was once astounded to discover.

What makes this remarkable is nothing to do with clarinet sampling. It's to do with the musicianship of the programmer. That's what's rare.

I salute him/her.

And, I'd play it to my students.
