Where's the meaning?

Author: LeWhite

This is going to sound a little pointless and maybe futile, but I want to discuss it nonetheless.

Lately I've experienced a little frustration with the clarinet. I used to play to 'express myself' but now that I have grown up a little and have the intention of expressing the music and the composer's intention, I find very little meaning.

Operas have meaning. Sacred church music has meaning. To me, the clarinet just has a few little diddies written for it. What's so significant about the clarinet and any of it's repertoire? To my knowledge, nothing. The only thing I can think of is the Mozart concerto. Other than that, where do we fit in? Is being a part of the orchestra and chamber groups IT?

Thanks for any replies, I'd love to expand my knowledge on this and hopefully find something worthwhile!
