Last Saturday I played the Mozart quintett on classical Basset Clarinet for the first time in many years. It struck me how different the atmosphere is when you perform it on period instruments. The closeness to the music, the smoothe attacs, the easyness in staccato and the tender sound of the gut strings with a good quartet work all together into an atmosphere that I never experience otherwise. This is what the Danish bassoonist and music philosofer Peter Bastian would call an "unreductable experience", meaning an experience that can't be explained but have to be experienced to fully understand what it does to you.
Just wanted to ventilate an experience that made me proud being a part of. The satisfaction for me to have the option of playing period instruments is something I'm glad for and sometimes gives me that little extra arouseness that happends twice every ten years.
