Hello!
Can anyone please point me in the direction or provide any information about the Donizetti studie for unaccompanied clarinet?
I'm preparing a seminar about it with particular reference to authentic performance practice.
Thanks very much,
Tom Jackson

Hi Tom,
Following is the excerpt from my CD of Joy Farrall playing the aforementionned study on ASV CD QS 6242:
"The Studio Primo per Clarinetto (no successors have survived) was written in 1821 for 'the composer's friend Begnigni', and concentrate on fluency of articulation, particularly around the 'break' between registers (a clarinet overblows at the 12th not the octave)."
This is all what I have, I hope you'll be able to find more detailed info from other sources.
Hope it helps anyway.
Stéphane.

Velly interesting, Stephane, we seldom think of "break" problems back in the early 1800's, they prob. had many more. My acquaintance w: Donizetti is/was as rehearsal-piano-page-turner when my daughter-in-law sang the 2nd female role in The Elixer of Love [cheap wine!!]. The two clarinets in performances sounded beautifully. Enjoyed, Don

Hi there Tom
I'd be very interested to hear how your seminar goes ... authentic music performance is an interesting phenomenon, indeed.
I wouldn't advocate purchasing a "Romantic Clarinet" just to play Brahms as Brahms wrote it - but it could be interesting to see what difficulties players had on those earlier clarinets with less abundant keywork.
regards
diz, Sydney
